We recently connected with Cam Malone and have shared our conversation below.
Cam, we’re thrilled to have you sharing your thoughts and lessons with our community. So, for folks who are at a stage in their life or career where they are trying to be more resilient, can you share where you get your resilience from?
I would say I get my resilience from experience. Experience shapes you. You understand and comprehend conflicts better when you go through it first hand, and the more you go through it, it becomes easier to overcome.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
My name is Cam Malone, I am a 22 year old film photographer based out of Atlanta, GA. I specialize in portraits but also do cinematic scenic work as well. The most exciting thing I would say about photography is the first hand visualization of every photo I take. The moment my dopamine levels take over and I think to myself, “Thats it! take the photo!” is absolutely surreal. Its an unexplainable feeling, Ive been doing photography for about 4 years now. This year I’ll be traveling a lot more both domestically and internationally so everybody should expect me. Im also big on music, all types.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Consistency, Compassion, Awareness. Divulge that however you would like but all three are essential. For all the people starting the journey to whatever their passion is, I implore moderation in every aspect, never over work yourself, but never scrounge yourself.
How would you spend the next decade if you somehow knew that it was your last?
Right now I found myself creating endless time constraints in my head and living like that. When you make a habit of keeping time, you will always fear that time is running out. Its okay to be on time when you do a job, on time to keep an obligation, on time to honor your word, but moving strictly based on time constraints is a recipe for disaster. It inadvertently keeps you locked into commitments you cannot control.
