"The best tip I can give someone is to communicate well with clients. People enjoy having their photos taken at graduations and weddings, but a strong client relationship will last past such encounters. I have had clients for years because of our strong communication. Acting as a photographer is more than just taking the right pictures. You also want to treat your client well. The benefits can be endless and expand beyond money."

If an employer asks this question, they are trying to determine if you spend time thinking about your craft. Veteran photographers have enough experience that they could, if asked, pass on advice to newer photographers. Depending on your answer, you will reveal your level of experience. Even if you feel unqualified for such a question, try your best to give a confident answer. Even a little experience is still an experience. Not giving an answer will likely be received poorly by the interviewer. They want to hire someone who is capable.

"If I could offer a tip to anyone, I would encourage them to try different types of photography. For a while, I felt stuck taking pictures of animals. I did that for a few years and didn't feel qualified to shoot anything else. I overcame that fear and now I take pictures of people, animals, and more. My favorite is landscape photography. I want people to know that the limits they feel are self-imposed. They can grow beyond that."
