With 6 years in the food photography industry, I once thought the only way to earn money as a digital creative was by becoming an influencer.

I spent two years chasing follower counts, hoping brands would notice me- but with just 900 followers and no brand collabs, I felt stuck. Everything changed when I stopped trying to “fit the mold” and started showing my value and what I had to offer through photography.

I pulled together my best work into a portfolio and finally positioned myself as someone worth investing in. Within my first month, I landed €10,102 in paid work- all without relying on followers.

Since then, I’ve scaled my business, worked with global brands, and even expanded into influencer campaigns- and I’ve learned that whether you’re a photographer, UGC creator, influencer, or content creator, the real key is knowing how to charge what you’re worth (and it’s usually more than you think).

That’s what I’m here to help you do too.
