Penny is so incredibly inspiring! I recently heard an interview with her and she had a lot of really great advice for photographers. Here’s just a few of her most memorable words of wisdom:
“You’re never going to get that great assignment, you’re going to have to give yourself that great assignment.”
On self assigned projects: “It’s defining. It’s how you grow. And It’s how you begin to establish a personal voice, a personal style, and I think it’s how you build confidence.”
“In terms of photography I’ll stay an extra day on a shoot if I don’t feel like I have it. And if I do feel like I have it I’ll stay an extra day anyway because it’s really good.”
