WWE VP of Photography Brad Smith
Manage episode 434196535 series 2426942
Welcome to the relaunch of the Beyond the Image Podcast! A show for creatives, made by a creative.
If you’ve listened to this show over the last few years, you’ll realize it’s rare I bring a guest back on a second time. This is a mistake I want to rectify. I went back to our episode from March 5, 2019 with one of the first guests I had on.
I heard this individual speaking on a webinar series on how creative professionals can navigate their career and try to procure work from bigger and better clients so they can scale their business and I knew I needed to have him on the podcast so I can pick his brain.
In his career he has been the Director of Photography at Sports Illustrated, a Senior Photo Editor for the New York Times, and the Associate Director of Photography for the White House. Currently, he is the VP of Photography for the WWE and I could not think of anyone better to bring back as a guest for the 600th episode of this show.
Welcome, Brad Smith, back to the show.
“The key thing to remember is, it’s a marathon, not a sprint.”
IN THIS EPISODE
A review of Brad Smith's professional career trajecetory.
What inspired Brad to take on the role of a leader and teacher in the photography industry.
The most important realization you can have as a photographer.
What will keep getting you jobs over and over again.
The power of connecting with your clients.
Why you need word of mouth in your business
How deliverables have changed over time.
What Brad and the WWE is looking for when looking at a photographer’s social media and portfolio.
Being willing to evolve and adapt.
The one character trait that will lead to better photographs.
