I think you have to be a bit of a shameless self-promoter to be successful as a pro photographer too. And I don't mean shameless in a purely negative sense either - I think a lot of introverts like myself unjustifiably feel shame when selling themselves at all. The photographer in the article has a travel blog at travellikeanna.com and I simply can't imagine myself registering a domain name like that. What business do I have inspiring people to do something like me? And why would I want to share so much about me, personally? But she's not only a talented photographer and writer, but she's built herself a confident yet approachable online brand, so if you were hiring someone to take photos of a far-flung place, she'd seem like an easy choice for the job.
