Film Photography Inspiration

"Being free is a lot like being lost – lostinagoodway
My name is Tim and I started photography only two years ago. I grew up in a lazy, boring small town near Frankfurt, Germany. There was absolutely nothing to do other than to be creative to get out. So, I started playing the guitar in a pop/rock-band; it never quite fulfilled me, but it led me on the incredible journey to photography.
In 2010, the band arranged a photo shoot with a lovely and talented American photographer, my dear friend Allister Ann from Nashville. From that day on, I was hooked! I joined her Euro-Trip, bought my first camera in Berlin, and soaked up everything I could possibly learn from her on the road.
There was never a question about analog vs. digital. I just fell in love with film – the grain, the leaks, the perfection of its imperfections. I soon got my hands on an old Canon AE1 and tried out Polaroids, Lomography – pretty much everything you could imagine. My artist name ‘lostinagoodway’ is truly my story: photography set me free and I got lost in it – but in a good way." ~  Tim Dechent

I got my business license in January. It has taken me just 2 months (using your helpful information) to land my absolute DREAM job. I've contracted with an international company to shoot their 4-day Masters golf tournament party, and I've been hired by a professional golfer to shoot him playing the Masters, along with one of his private Masters parties.

The foundation your information laid for me really helped establish the right environment for these types of contracts to happen. So, thank you!!"
-Sharon Flinn Wilson

"Although I had been studying photography for a over four years, my lack of knowledge on how to start up my own business and my fear that I would fail was enough to prevent me from turning this passion into a career. It was all of the information, resources and ideas in Cindy's lessons that gave me the confidence and the tools that I needed to finally launch my own photography business. Cindy taught me that success in this field is not based on talent alone, but to a greater extent on how effectively you market yourself. In her courses Cindy teaches you how to market yourself and provides invaluable information in a step by step fashion that is so easy to follow and she does not hold anything back. She also provides references and resources so that you can get started so much faster without all of the confusion and frustration of researching everything yourself. Cindy presents so many wonderful marketing and promotional ideas but also goes into incredible detail on how to implement these ideas with samples of her own promotional cards and brochures which we can adapt for our own use. Shuttermom University is a one stop shop for those wanting to get into the business of photography and also has so much valuable information for those already working in the field."
