EP 029 - So you're ready to make the jump? Let's talk it through.
In this episode, photographers Ashton Staniszewski and David Patino are in Waterbury, CT and chat with photographer (and David's first assistant), Justin Krompier. Listen in as we talk with Justin about his leap from a 9-5 job into the beginnings of his professional photography career.
The photographers go around the table and share battle stories from the trenches of the artist career path and talk about the ins and the outs of what it takes to make the leap and how we manage to stay invested in the craft through the ups and downs.
It's the best (and only) episode recorded from a fancy business hotel suite and fueled by terrible free champagne!
