Do you celebrate the success of others?

Headshot Photography by Vanie Poyey

Or do you run off to your little corner jealous and resentful because you haven’t yet achieved the same success?   A friend and colleague, Blake Discher says, and I’m paraphrasing, “Don’t hang out with the guys grumbling in the corner about how they can’t get work”.  In fact he teaches a great seminar called Stop Grumbling-Get Out There.  Although it’s geared towards photographers, it’s great advise for any individual in the business of marketing themselves, actors included.

As you struggle through the business of acting, it’s important not to lose sight of the fact that every success story has a lot of struggle and a few failures behind it.  It’s also important to realize that everyone’s path to success will be different and only you can create the path for yourself.  What works for someone else may not work for you.

If you judge others and begrudge them their success, you are not taking into consideration the struggles they may have gone through either financially or emotionally to beget work in their field.  Even if in your eyes, they’ve had no struggles, instead of grumbling in the corner, congratulate your colleagues for their success and ask how they did it!  Genuinely expressing interest in their career automatically opens doors for you.  There is value in networking with those more successful than you.  After all, they might just need your type on the next project they work on!

As you navigate your way through the business, keep in mind that celebrating the success of those around you will bring the same success to you!

The Headshot Photographer for Actors Who Simply Refuse to pose!

Headshots Los Angeles: by Vanie Poyey

I do what I do because I want to help actors succeed.  I want to empower you with the tools you need to market yourself.  My goal is not to give you the most beautiful pictures you’ve ever taken…there’s plenty opportunity for that when you’re famous!  My goal is to give you images with life and not vacant stares.  My goal is to give you images that specifically showcase the range you have without pushing you against type.  My goal is to figure out your stereotype, your essence and to capitalize on it!  I do this by consulting with you, by directing you every step of the way and by producing specific marketing looks that will help get you in the door.  I am a director, a photographer for the actor who refuses to pose!  Help your career by learning the value of marketing.  Take a look at Sam Christensen’s essences class and read The Tao of Show Business by Dallas Travers.  Then ask me how I can help.
