The Business Side of Photography Nobody Teaches You: Joel Grimes on Human Behavior and Creative Drive

I’ll be honest with you: when I first started teaching photography, I assumed the hardest part would be explaining things like exposure triangles or composition rules. What I didn’t expect was how often students would ask me questions I had no good answer to, things like “How do I actually get clients?” or “Why do I feel so stuck even though my photos are getting better?” Those aren’t technical questions. They’re business and mindset questions, and most photography education just skips right past them.
