1. A sociable, gregarious, well-read,
observant, degreed
photographer, or photographic
illustrator as he describes it,
develop his network within the
creative community
this is the area of interest he
aspires to and wants to work in
and it is not structured in the
traditional model of employment
Make something everyday
Put yourself out there

My title is "creative socialite"
I like to conceptualize the work before I creates
Always be creating in many different areas
Finding work in NY is tough, it is saturated
Social circles make the difference in success
Observe and study

Finding financially
viable opportunities
will take time
Creating everyday keeps the
creative process moving
forward
Networking is hugely
important and the
key to success
Making it with his
classmates is important
as they understand the
situation in a way others
can not
His parents financial support and patience with
this process are the basis for his ability to
pursue this career path. Without them, he
would be forced to compromise his passion
and talent.
People are the secret to his finding success.
Those he surrounds himself with, who he
networks with, who he aspires to be like.
Failure is not an option for him. He
will keep at it until he succeeds
Successful job hunting in
the creative fields is much
different than the more
traditional careers as the
corporate structure is not
present.
It is more like being an
Entrepreneur and if you
don’t have people
supporting you that
understand this and who
are willing to fund it, the
process is even more
difficult.
