Do you want to learn
how to make money from photography and not become a craftsman?
No, I will not tell you how easy and simple it is, to assure you that there is a super recipe — because this is a lie and profanation.
And I'm not going to teach you to "make a quick buck", because this is piggish, first of all, in relation to yourself!
I will tell you how to make you proud of your work for many years to come.
Yes, it's a hell of a job. But this is a real thrill, this is adrenaline, and this is life!
And most importantly — I will tell you the truth.
