Commercial photography is a coveted, prestigious, elusive industry. It’s the definition of gatekept. Many photographers have the talent. They’ve been to school, taken courses, and honed their skills. What they don’t have is the industry know-how to get their work in front of the right people, make a good first impression, and navigate contracts. There are rules and information they don’t have access to. In short, they can shoot beautiful pictures but not book the dream clients they want.Eventually, they come to believe that commercial photography isn’t a possibility for them. They stay in their comfort zone, playing it safe, and never chase their dreams of making it in the big leagues. Those dreams die on the vine, not for a lack of skill, but because this opaque industry is tough to break into.The road to that dream is a long one paved with hustle, hard work, and rejection. But if knowing this doesn’t deter you, if you’re one of the photographers who does have the determination to work with prestigious big-name clients, then listen up, because The Photo Hustle is going to teach you everything you need to know about this business—and how you can get in. Because it is possible and not reserved for the elite; it’s for anyone willing to do the work. All you need is a little tenacity, talent (which you have!), and the tips and tricks in this book.The Photo Hustle is the insider tell-all every aspiring commercial photographer needs to bridge the gap between textbook knowledge and real-world skills. It is not a guide to photography, like how to take great pictures or operate aperture or shutter speed. It’s about the business—the ultimate guide to landing dream clients like Tiffany's, Vanity Fair, or Nike . . . and to keeping those clients booking you again and again!

God brought back to my memory scenes from my life of people depicting love, joy, and peace. People that showed me kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, and goodness. People who demonstrated patience and self-control. These people were "lights" along my life's journey and they guided me into ...Being the Light Needed!

I dedicate this book to dysfunctional families, and to addictions, and to abuse. I wrote this book to be able to help someone to give them courage, in their time of need, that have found there self-walking in despair. And to let you know there is a God, that will never forsake you or leave you. There is a passage in the bible Matthew 11:28-29-30. {''Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.'' {Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light.''} Therefore, I dedicate this book to all dysfunction events that has arrived in your life, and you can find help in your time of need. When I look back on my life, I give the glory to God, as I dedicate my life to God, for he has brought me, back from the gates of hell. As you read this book you will see the healing hands of God, that show me his love, and show me how to forgive myself, and to love who I became in Christ Jesus. As you read this book you will see the hurt, the sadness, and the joy, that has arrived from different events in my life. To whom I am today. I am proud, that I am a woman of God. I thank God that he has healed this broking vessel, God give me my life back. May this book bless your life, as we, bring our life to Christ you will find rest, and the blessing that he has for you and me.

Anwar's story is a fictional fable which tells the imagined life and trials of the 'other hero' of Paulo Coelho's famous, iconic story The Alchemist.Paulo based his allegory on an ancient tale from The Arabian Nights, without ever realising that the original story contained a hidden archetype - the archetype of Mankind's search for redemption. And so, because of this, The Alchemist is not the story of one hero, but two.Santiago was only able to find his treasure in Paulo Coelho's fable by encountering that 'other hero'. Therefore, in many ways Anwar's Story can be considered the missing of The Alchemist: a piece which will make Paulo's magical allegory complete. It will also provide answers to many questions which for some readers have, until now, seemed unanswerable.
