Yesterday's Magnum Blog post gives advice to those starting out in photography from several members. Many provide the same basic suggestions but I think what Mikhael Subotzky had to say works for those aspiring to be a Magnum-type shooter:
Q: What advice would you give young photographers?
A: Stick to one project for a long time. And keep working on it through many stages of learning, even if it might feel finished. It's the only way to break through what I think are some vital lessons that need to be learned about story-telling and how to combine images.
What do you think is a long time? At what point do you quit a project if it isn't panning out or something better comes along? Should you have more than one project going at a time in order to create portfolio diversity?
