Welcome to Mind Your Own Business, the podcast that helps photographers improve their business and their lives!

This month we chat with photographer photographer Jim Graham. In our discussion, Jim discusses the top lessons he’s learned over the years, as well as the importance relationship-building has been in his career.

He also shares thoughts on what his next photo venture will be, as well as helpful advice for photographers just starting out. Get ready to be inspired!

Jim was named Southern Photographer of the Year and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. His work has been recognized in Communication Arts Photo Annual and was named in Photo District News’ Article, “50 States Fifty Photographers.” He was second in The Gannett Chain in Color Photography and won Society of Professional Journalist’s Best News Photograph of the Year.

His work was often lauded by the Pennsylvania Press Photographers Association and was recognized regionally and nationally by the NPPA.
