You are the magic: what an advertising legend can teach photographers

A few years ago on holidays I read a little gem of a book by advertising legend Paul Arden “It’s not how good you are, it’s how good you want to be.”Arden was a creative director at London advertising agency Saatchi and Saatchi, and was responsible for some of the most famous British advertising campaigns of all time.I read this little book about once a year, it’s funny, insightful, and full of snippets of advice and inspiration for creative people.Much of the advice in the book is aimed at copy writers and people working in ad agencies, but the book also contains many pearls of wisdom for all creatives from all walks of life.In this episode, I've taken nine quotes from the book and interpreted them in a way that you can apply to your photography.Buy the book 🇺🇸 Amazon USA: “It’s not how good you are, it’s how good you want to be.”🇦🇺 Amazon Australia: “It’s not how good you are, it’s how good you want to be.”🇬🇧 Amazon UK: “It’s not how good you are, it’s how good you want to be.”🇨🇦 Amazon Canada: “It’s not how good you are, it’s how good you want to be.”Buy Matt a coffee!Support the show by donating to my Ko-Fi page!https://ko-fi.com/mattlovescameras Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts.Matt Loves Cameras: film camera reviews, instant camera reviews, everything analogue photography related.Music used in the show: Casi - thEnd [Free Download] by Casi is licensed under a Creative Commons License.
