We talk about 5 steps to success that we just totally made up based on our own life experiences, so take it for what it's worth.

1: Define *your* success. What specific accomplishments will make you happy? Where do you want to be in life, for money, lifestyle, relationships, and leisure time? Which of those are you willing to give up?

2: Know yourself. Evaluate your own strengths and weaknesses; we all have a few.

3: Build a team. Surround yourself with people who complement your skills. If you suck at something, find people who are good at that, and trust them to help you.

4: Make a 5-year plan. Know where you want to be in 5 years. Then, make smaller steps at 1-year, 6-months, 1 month, and TODAY. Yes, if you're going to be successful, it starts today. What are you going to do RIGHT NOW?

5: Re-evaluate and reset. One thing we can promise is that your plans won't go exactly as you hope. The world will change without your permission. Your team will fail you. You'll fail yourself. That's OK; you roll with those punches. It's OK to change your plan at any point.

If you feel like you've already found some success, congrats! We'd love to hear your success story in the comments (including challenges that you ran into along the way).

We explain Fair Use which allows people to use pictures for free under some conditions. Specifically, it provides exemptions for commentary, search engines, criticism, parody, news, research, and scholarship. While it's never black-and-white, courts make fair use judgment calls based on four criteria:

1) Purpose of use (such as commercial, nonprofit, or educational). Uses can be more than one of these, such as both commercial and educational. Being commercial doesn't prevent fair use, and being educational or nonprofit doesn't give you fair use under all conditions.

2) The nature of the copyrighted work. The more creative it is, the harder it is to claim it under fair use. For example, a strictly informational picture of a skyline would be easier to claim under fair use than a creative model photoshoot or light painting.

3) The amount of the copyrighted work that's used. If you only show a small portion of a video, for example, odds are you can claim Fair Use. If you show an entire movie, you probably can't claim Fair Use.

4) The effect on the market for the copyrighted work. If you publish a movie for free and that stops people from paying to see that movie, it's almost certainly not fair use. However, if using a copyrighted work doesn't reduce the value of the work commercially, then it's more likely to be fair use.

Even if you stay the same, the world won't. My dad had basically the same job his whole life. As a pro photographer or videographer in 2018, you won't have the same luxury. Our jobs change every year, and if you don't keep up, you probably won't get to keep your job. If you're wildly successful today, you'll probably still be doing well next year - but in five years, everything you've built could be gone. My advice: Get comfortable being uncomfortable. Keep one foot firmly grounded in what's working for you today, but move your other foot forward. Keep track of upcoming trends by staying close to young people and watching how they interact with photos and videos. Experiment, jump on the latest trends and have fun.

Canon has been the #1 camera manufacturer for decades, and they beat Nikon, Sony, Fuji, and all the others with leading-edge innovation. That seems to have changed in the last few years...but Chelsea has a theory that they're just charging up for the ultimate mirrorless camera. Is it true?

Two years ago a company used one of our most well-known photos on the cover of an iPhone case without our permission. This was misleading in a couple of ways; the product seemed to advertise that it could produce the results in our picture (it couldn't) and some people assumed we were endorsing the product. The product was in some of the biggest stores in Australia and New Zealand, including Target, and selling for about $70 AUD.

We tried to reach out and handle it nicely without getting lawyers involved, but the people who stole our photo immediately lawyered-up and tried to ignore us.

So we sued them. That wasn't easy! We had to hire lawyers in Australia, and finding an attorney was REALLY HARD. The defendants tried to get off without paying a fair amount... but in the end, it cost them a lot.

How much did we get? We'll show you our bank statement.

The US Army has banned the use of all DJI drones. DJI is a Chinese company, and a US memo accuses DJI of giving YOUR secret images and data to the Chinese government to use to plan attacks against the American military and infrastructure like drinking water, farms, and power plants. That's a SERIOUS accusation! We dig deep into the privacy of your data and make surprising and disturbing discoveries.

Rumors indicate that Canon and Nikon are planning full-frame mirrorless cameras to compete with the Sony a9, a7R III, and a7 III.

It's impossible to view your own work objectively. When you look at your pictures, you remember the movement, sound, and emotion from the experience. Sometimes, you have to trust others to judge your work.
