How to Become a Freelance Photographer | Stoke-Ness
It’s good to be outside.
After the last few months of massive change, the warmer weather has made it possible to spend more time on adventures and less time reading the bad news. I am enjoying the escape and am shooting more photos than ever. I hope you are too.
This month’s issue is all about tools I use (and used) to make my Freelance creative work possible. I share my new workshop, the Pitch Deck Kit and all of the other goods you have come to love.
Be stoked,
Isaac

How to Become a Freelance Photographer
I have had hundreds of questions about how to become a photographer over the years. Most people ask about camera setting and gear, but what really makes you be able to do this for a living is everything besides the gear.
I made a Workshop with Strohl Works called How to Become a Freelance Photographer.
In it I cover tactics and strategies on how to go from a hobby creator to a full time freelancer. If you have been waiting for the right moment to start, this course provides the steps to go from your day job to your dream career.
Its half price only until tomorrow, Thursday July 2nd at midnight.

Who I'm loving on Instagram
Kari is a Canadian photo journalist and commercial photographer that shoots mostly medium format film.
His images have a “stop you in your tracks” type of feel and makes you wonder what was happening and where it happened. It’s a quality of capturing a moment that I don’t see often and I have spent hours looking through his work on his instagram and website.

Pitch Deck Kit
I finally released my Pitch Deck Kit! It includes
Three professionally designed templates in both Apple Key Note and Google Slides file types.
A PDF design guide/walkthrough that teaches you what to say and where to say it.
The feedback has been amazing! Hundreds of people have bought it and are using it to reach out to brands and get paid to do the work they always wanted.
If you want to do a dream creative project, but have been putting if off because you don’t know how to get it funded, buy the kit and make your dream happen.

Music I'm Diggin'
Dances with Wolves Theme
I re-discovered this soundtrack last month and this song has been in constant play since. It’s the perfect song for taking in the huge vistas I find in my work and in the American west.
Try listening to it on your next drive through the country or even just as an escape from city life.
Listen to it on Spotify Here
P.S. If you haven’t seen the movie, it’s one of the best Western movies of all time.

How To Camp Better
My friend Llewellyn Pavey interviewed me for his podcast and one of the subjects we talked about was my techniques for making camping more enjoyable. It was a fun chat and if you want to know how I make 100+ nights a year in a tent enjoyable, give it a watch.

The Obstacle is the Way
We all have barriers that stop us from living the way we hope to. Often I am guilty of becoming negative towards my circumstances. Learning from this book about perspective and how to move forward with life and your goals when challenges happen was eye opening.
It’s and easy read (or listen) and will change your life for the better. Add this to the top of your list.

Be stoked and have a great month,
