In this PetaPixel article, Clare Harding will teach you what to remember when starting a photography business. With any start-up business, everyone’s experience will be different, but it can still be helpful to take in other people’s advice.

Instead of allowing other people’s work to make you feel inferior, Harding recommends that you channel that energy into remembering why you fell in love with photography in the first place.
