The term content creator has become almost as ubiquitous as the term photographer. No longer are we defined by a one-word definition that conjures up images of darkrooms and tripod carrying. Rather, we’re explorers of the world, using our camera, lenses and social platforms to share stories of the people and places that we experience.
In this feature 10 professional content creators share advice from their respective fields, from modelling to drone flying to planning landscape shoots. There’s nothing quite like finding out how the pros hone their craft, expand their career opportunities and collaborate with others first-hand. So sit back, and soak up 50 expert tips from some of the world’s leading social media movers and shakers, all of whom share their advice on a new education platform called Creator Circuit.
