After achieving a pretty damned impressive level of professional success over the past few years, Jess (for those that don’t know, my daughter) of Jess McGlothlin Media continues to get multiple queries a week, asking her for the magic sauce and easiest shortcut to “making it big” as a fly fishing / outdoor photographer and writer.
I’d have asked her to post some thoughts here herself, but she’s been off in northern Pennsylvania this week shooting images of a geese and deer hunt for OnX Maps, and from the IG posts, looks like it’s been pretty damned fun.
She has recently posted her thoughts on carving a niche in the business here – So You Want to Be a Fishing Photographer or Writer… – and to no surprise, the magic sauce, distilled down the simplest essence, is working your ass off.
