What does it actually take to build a photography agency — and what can that teach you about building your own career as a brand photographer?

Harry Rose founded Darwin Studio, a photography agency and production company whose photographers have shot campaigns for Nike, Google, Visa, the BBC, and Airbnb. In this episode, he traces the thinking behind how he built it — and why he built it the way he did.

You'll hear why having a distinct photographic voice matters more than a packed client list when you're trying to get noticed. How chance encounters and voluntary work opened doors that cold outreach never would. And why the commercial photography world is far more insular than it should be — and what that means for photographers trying to break into it.

If you've ever wondered how the industry really works behind the scenes, this one's for you.
