“The Five P’s: What It Really Takes to Become
a Successful Photographer”
Description: Mastery doesn’t come from gear or some magic setting. It comes from the grind. In this keynote, Erik Kuna shares the five things that separate successful photographers from the rest—not talent, not luck, even though those help — but, it a mindset and habits that fuel long-term growth as a professional photographer. It’s a dive into the relentless pursuit of craft: learning constantly, failing forward, making adjustments, and pushing through the plateau. If you’re serious about making your mark with a camera, this talk could be your wake-up call and maybe even your roadmap to success.
