Do You Feel Old, Commercial Photographer?

My friend and colleague who is a commercial photographer has most of his clientèle in London. He has been in this profession for good 10-11 years. Yesterday, I had to discuss a project on cars with him, so I telephoned him and asked him to meet me over a cup of coffee. Coffee binds us together and also lets thoughts get creative :)

We met and had few warm cups of our favourite beverage and discussed the project and its nitty-gritties. After having discussed the professional stuff, I asked him why he looked a little depressed, when he told me how anxious he is with the current trends in advertising sector and this world being youth oriented.

I realized, that the ad world is getting increasingly youth oriented but a deep thought on his cause of worry brought me to think that probably there is a chance of one sticking in this industry, despite growing age.

I told him that probably he should make good and optimum use of his experience. He can tell and convince his clients how important it is to have experience in this field and the clients do appreciate this. He looked a little cheerful and I was happy I could help a friend from the same fraternity.
