We asked 12 of robertharding&#8217;s best photographers for some well-chosen words of advice and encouragement for those that want to make it in the game.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.robertharding.com\/preview\/RF\/RH_RF\/HORIZONTAL\/1216-400.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>The Broken Heart of Rodel, Rodel, Isle of Harris, Outer Hebrides, Scotland, United Kingdom, Europe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Never stop learning and never get disheartened. Photography is a journey and you can travel as far as you wish with time and effort. Be happy with your work and try not to compare yourself constantly against others. Most of all, enjoy it \u2013 sometimes the most wonderful scenes will unfold in front of you and whilst it is nice to capture it in camera, don\u2019t forget to step away from the camera and just enjoy the moment.&#8221; Karen Deakin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.robertharding.com\/preview\/RM\/RH\/HORIZONTAL\/1216-381.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Gondolier by Ponte Della Malvasia Vecchia in Venice, Italy, Europe<br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Practice &amp; persistence.&#8221;&nbsp;Jordan Banks<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.robertharding.com\/preview\/RF\/RH_RF\/HORIZONTAL\/1186-479.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Asia, South East Asia, Philippines, Western Visayas, Boracay, Dinwid Beach<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Don\u2019t start out shooting what\u2019s been photographed a million times before. Try to capture a unique perspective of a subject, a new angle. Bring something unique to the frame and develop your own style. Also, don\u2019t expect this business to go quickly, it takes time to nurture relationships and a solid foundation.&#8221;&nbsp;Michael Runkel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.robertharding.com\/preview\/RF\/RH_RF\/HORIZONTAL\/1184-3194.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Overlook over the Oasis of Taghit, western Algeria<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Develop a thick skin and more importantly be willing to work hard.&#8221;<br>Kav Dadfar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.robertharding.com\/preview\/RM\/RH\/HORIZONTAL\/1207-627.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Local dancers in a marigold farm in Pushkar, Rajasthan, India, Asia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;In this day and age I&nbsp;think its more and more important to specialise and perfect one or&nbsp;just a few subjects. Picture buyers are sourcing their images from around the globe so to stand out you really need to be the best at what you do.&nbsp;There are very few real general travel photographers these days, more like architectural, landscape and people photographers who travel.&nbsp;Take your time to perfect one thing before moving on to another&nbsp;subject.&#8221; Christian Kober<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.robertharding.com\/preview\/RF\/RH_RF\/HORIZONTAL\/733-8480.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Europe, Spain, Canary Islands, La Palma, Unesco Biosphere site, National Park Caldera de Taburiente<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I wish someone would have told me that I had more control over the types of jobs that I took and to brand myself from the beginning. Also, to not compare myself to others and to be OK with being unique. My lack of confidence in the beginning was the only thing that held me back when I was starting out.&#8221; Laura Grier<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.robertharding.com\/preview\/RF\/RH_RF\/HORIZONTAL\/1218-853.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Temples at the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Indochina, Southeast Asia, Asia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;With social media and the internet I see young photographers spending too much time browsing. It\u2019s not the same as absorbing images in an exhibition. It\u2019s too transitory to have a lasting impact and stimulate the mind. I would urge them to get out and practice as much as possible. Beautiful locations won\u2019t make them a good photographer. The challenge is to make the ordinary something special. If you can do that then when you do find yourself somewhere special you\u2019ll do something different.&#8221; Alex Treadway<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.robertharding.com\/preview\/RF\/RH_RF\/HORIZONTAL\/1225-1257.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Mont Blanc range seen from the Tour du Mont Blanc trekking route near Lac Blanc in the French Alps, Haute Savoie, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, Europe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPatience and planning,\u201d he says. \u201cYou need to understand the weather and know the area, or you\u2019re going to run around like crazy when the light comes. But you also need to be flexible. I plan, but if it doesn\u2019t work out I can adapt quite quickly \u2013 that\u2019s my biggest skill.\u201d Adam Burton<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.robertharding.com\/preview\/RM\/RH\/HORIZONTAL\/799-3694.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Frost covered countryside near Crediton, Mid Devon, England, United Kingdom, Europe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFirst, understand the equipment you have and learn the basics of how to take a nice, technically sound shot. Photoshop can clean and improve some things, but the best photos are usually the ones that need little post processing. After that, the more you shoot, the more you learn.\u201d Andre Seale<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.robertharding.com\/preview\/RM\/RH\/HORIZONTAL\/817-451094.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>People enjoying the shallow waters of the sandbar in Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaii, USA.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe most important thing is to be out there all the time and take as many photos as you can \u2013 just learn by doing. I read something written online by another photographer and there was a lot of truth in it. He said: \u2018If you\u2019re starting out in photography you have to just sleep, eat and shoot.\u2019\u201d Jochen Schlenker<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.robertharding.com\/preview\/RM\/RH\/HORIZONTAL\/756-2842.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Monastery, Mountain of Montserrat, near Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain, Europe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Take an open-minded approach, and experiment in different areas. Never write off anything. Sometimes you\u2019ll see some subject matter that is not immediately appealing but in the right light or with an abstract approach you can make something out of nothing. I believe that if you look and think about what you want to show, you can succeed in most conditions.\u201d Lizzie Shepherd<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.robertharding.com\/preview\/RM\/RH\/HORIZONTAL\/847-455.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Detail of the statue of the Maitreya (future Buddha) installed to commemorate the visit of the 14th Dalai Lama to the monastery, Thiksey Gompa, Ladakh, Himalayas, India, Asia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn order to succeed&nbsp;it\u2019s not enough just to be able to take good pictures,&nbsp;you also need to be a good sales person and know how to market yourself.
