She has used all this knowledge to build a successful international career as a photographer and shares it all with you in this course, so you too can build your own successful freelance career.
Learn how to find your niche based on your own unique style of photography. Danny teaches you how to manage your career, build a marketing strategy specific to your market, and develop a photo series that you can present to clients and share with the world.

Me inspiro y ayudo
Eu simplesmente já admirava a Danny , mas ela foi essencial para o meu recomeço na fotografia com outro olhar e pós maternidade.
Conseguir me encontrar no que gosto e entender que sempre o mais importante é saber pra onde ir e degrau em degrau
Vale a pena
it's very good and quite informative!
