LOOKING BACK BEFORE MOVING FORWARD
A quick overview of 2024 so far.
Welcome back to Picture Papers. and thanks all those new subscribers - it’s amazing to have you here. This recording will be available for all subscribers, both free and paid so you guys who haven’t yet upgraded to paid can see what we’re all about here, and what the plans are for the coming weeks.
Before diving into the September madness of fashion weeks and Christmas content and Spring/Summer 25 pitching etc. I thought i’d take a look back at the last few months to see what progress has been made in my business, if i’m happy with it, what I want to change, and what I want to focus on for the rest of the year. I hope it encourages you to do the same thing so we can all be more structured for these all-important months in the industry, and save our precious energy for the things that really matter.
A bit of house-keeping - we have a new Instagram page: PicturePapers.Substack. I’m trying to keep PP slightly separate from my work page, so I don’t feel like I’m promoting too many different things at once so head over there and give it a follow. Everything Substack related will be posted on here - with additional behind the scenes stuff from shoots, and reposts of useful titbits i’ve found through other channels - a bit of a day-to-day diary/scrapbook if you will.
Anyway, here you go :)
I love your transparency and thoughts Alicia! I’m glad you listened to yourself and took time away. I did the same earlier in the summer and it’s definitely daunting financially but much needed.
I also really appreciated your candid thoughts on where you’d thought you’d be with last years work compared to where you are. It’s so true that progress is rarely linear and makes sense and a good reminder that growth takes time!
I’m loving this community and looking forward to what’s to come!
I’d also be interested in a mentorship!
