I posted this question on my personal facebook, but was curious if I could expand this specifically to the photography/modeling industry. 

So, what is the best advice you've ever heard?

Chris Piecht: registar guard photographer "When looking at the frame, check all four corners".</P>

Sam Blackwell(Stock and commercial photographer and former LCC instructor) "When composing, think about what you are communicating to the viewer"</P>

Comstock agency: "Don't you comprehend guidelines?..Stupid!</P>

Stephanie (co cordinator of "unlimited talent agency) Your portfolio is as strong as your weakest image.</P>

Image State (stock photo agencie) "Don't reproduce, produce!!!"</P>

Sam Blackwell (LCC instructor) "Ah, you are showing everyone what the world looks like."</P>

Bryan Petterson (Commercial photographer and author) "If you can not shoot a solid image in your back yard, how will you perform in an awesome atmospher?"</P>

Chad Boutan: "good models look well, great models move!"</P>

Maria Piscopo (Author) "Plan the work, work the plan"</P>

 </P>

 </P>

 </P>

Paul Carter (Editor of photography for the Registar guard) "Stock photography is a tough way to earn income".</P>

A photographer I met at the Painted hills shooting medium format with black and white film: "I produce gallery art imges, but how many buy art?"
</P>

Bryan Petterson (commercial photographer and author) "shoot in good light and everything will look better".</P>

Karen (very stern co coordinator at talent unlimited) "be skepticle of your work because eveyone else will be".</P>

 The only photographer you should ever compare yourself to is the one you used to be.
