I interviewed Addie Mannan,
a fashion and portrait photographer based in Portland, Oregon. I had a very
good experience with my interview. Ms. Mannan was so excited and
"honored" to be interviewed for my project. She gave me a lot of very
valuable information for the career research project. In addition, she gave me
some advice for the future. She said, " Learn to take criticism
constructively and not take it personally. There will be a lot of
disappointment and learning curves in this business, but keep at it.
Experiment with different avenues and be willing to try different things with
your photography, you might be surprised at what you find you are good at or
that you enjoy doing. Collaborate with other artist, you can learn a lot
from other creative people. Look at other photographers as your
colleagues, not your competition, [it’s] a smaller world in this industry than
you think and having good relationships with other [photographers] leads to
recommendations for work. " These are a few of Addie's photos
