15 | Walid Azami: Photographer of the Stars!
Walid Azami started his career assisting and project managing for Madonna but has since shot for Usher, Mariah Carey, and Christina Aguilara (just to name a few!). Walid’s “How To Photograph” project started our as a clandestine, secretive passion project that was built to help fellow creatives (in this case photographers) learn the mindset that Walid has realized is a key to longevity and fulfilling success. ----more---- In this episode he chats with music producer FERMI on how you should always remember to value yourself and your creativity - never let someone force you to change who you are or to follow the latest trend. Listen to your inner voice and be true to you as you express yourself with your works of art! ----more---- “There is an audience for you… and you would rather have 1,000 really devout people than 100k that don’t care that much about you.” So stay true to you and don’t chase the flavor of the month. Why photographers who charge more and have a consistent style in their portfolio are probably ideal to work with compared to diverse yet bargain priced photographers. Yes people are poison for your career - you need people that will tell you the truth about the projects they are working on with you and risk their comfort for the betterment For you to not share your true self and your true artists is almost like you are stealing from the world and from all the people that NEED to hear and see your true message and true talent. ----more---- Walid’s website & portfolio: http://www.walidazami.com/ Walid’s @howtophotograph IG: https://www.instagram.com/howtophotograph/ ----more---- FERMI on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fermi_music/ FERMI’s Chiptune Gameboy T-Shirt: http://fermimusic.com/shop Make Your Own Merch With Printful: https://bit.ly/2xUhUM3
