I'm making a living at photography now. Literally, to make a living is a matter of life and death. If you can not succeed, you can not survive. When you are touching this bottom line, the wish to live will dominate, and hints are not very helpful. You know yourself and your situation better than anyone else, so don't waste time searching for and reading other guys' hints, just do it.
I currently work with: Gramophone China, City Info. and Foto-Video China. I offer my photography services to many enterprises in many different industries, such as fashion dressmakers, detergent manufacturers, makers of GPS navigation instruments for cars, tea pillows, art vases, flooring, mobile phones and other things.
I also shoot covers for video CDs and music textbooks with an entertainment element, for some art/culture companies in Beijing. I shoot Chinese classic furniture and jewellery for an Asian Export company and a French company. I also do some report photography, such as the release shows for Timberland and DKNY in Beijing.
With all my clients it's my hope we can get effective communication on the basis of trust.
