Week 04 EOC: Peering into the Future

When I am 50 years old, I will be an established Travel and Glamour Photographer based out of Los Angeles, Ca. Living somewhere on or around Main Street in Huntington Beach, just a block or two from the ocean.

I will be working as a staff photographer for Maxim Magazine or an equivalent periodical and also working as a local freelance photographer, catering to Zed Cards and doing head shots for the entertainment industry and doing glamour and fashion photography for local model’s portfolios. I will work both of these jobs for about 10 to 11 months out of the year and then I will be go abroad to work as a freelance travel photographer for the other 1 to 2 months of the year. When I return from my travels I can host an exhibition showcasing my work and then sell the images to travel magazines, newspapers and to stock photo companies such as Getty Photos.

I want to have the ability to come and go, to work on travel projects as I see fit and as I can afford to fund them until I sell the images to the appropriate companies to turn a profit for my time and energy. Basically my career would be complete if I could just work ten months out of the year for someone else or myself and then traveling for the rest of the year. Making just enough money to pay all the bills and be comfortable. I did need tons of money; just enough to be comfortable and to build a retirement portfolio I can actually survive on when it’s time for me to retire and just run a small freelance studio out of my home until the day I can’t pick up a camera any longer. Course that will probably be the day I die.
