In this day and age it's easier than ever to enter the marketplace while at the same time harder than ever to make a living out of it. That's because the barriers to enter the market have become next to nothing.

Fresh off of Jason's 3 day advanced lighting workshop at the Salton Sea, Jason discusses the key take aways for photographers out there who are looking to make a mark in this world. Jason also discusses what it takes to go from a 7 to a 10 with your talent and value to potential clients out there.
