We were lucky to catch up with Kushagra Jain recently and have shared our conversation below.
Kushagra, we’re so excited for our community to get to know you and learn from your journey and the wisdom you’ve acquired over time. Let’s kick things off with a discussion on self-confidence and self-esteem. How did you develop yours?
After dedicating twelve years to my craft within the industry, I’ve encountered a myriad of life’s situations. Through unwavering commitment and persistent effort, I’ve unravelled the mysteries of success. It dawned on me that true fulfillment stems from pursuing my passions, rather than being swayed by external perceptions. Each encounter and circumstance along the way has contributed to the nurturing of my confidence and self-worth.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
As a fine art photographer hailing from the vibrant landscapes of India, I now find myself immersed in the creative pulse of Los Angeles. My lens traverses across a spectrum of photographic genres, embracing the elegance of fashion, the behind-the-scenes allure of film, and the evocative realms of abstract imagery. My passion deepened following my tenure at the esteemed New York Film Academy, where I now proudly mentor emerging talents. Among my accolades, I had the honor of capturing the essence of Miss World America 2023, an experience that further fuels my artistic journey.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
In the grand narrative of my journey, it is the harmonious symphony of consistency, confidence, and unwavering practice that has resounded most profoundly, shaping the very essence of my creative odyssey. Like the steady rhythm of a beating heart, consistency has been the guiding force, anchoring me amidst the ebb and flow of life’s currents. With each stride forward, fueled by a reservoir of self-assurance, I have navigated the twists and turns of uncertainty with unwavering poise. Yet, it is through the crucible of relentless practice that I have honed my craft, chiseling away at the rough edges of potential to reveal the polished gem of mastery. Each moment seized through the lens of my camera is not merely a snapshot, but a testament to the ceaseless dedication that propels me ever forward along this journey of self-discovery and artistic expression.
Alright, so before we go we want to ask you to take a moment to reflect and share what you think you would do if you somehow knew you only had a decade of life left?
Navigating the landscape of the Los Angeles photography scene certainly presents its share of challenges, especially when vying for a permanent position amidst fierce competition. While securing a stable foothold in this dynamic industry can be daunting, it also offers opportunities for growth and innovation. By strategically showcasing your unique artistic vision, networking with industry professionals, and continuously refining your skills, you can carve out your niche and rise above the competition. I always try to remember one thing though that every challenge is an opportunity in disguise, and with perseverance and determination, we can overcome any obstacle on your path to success.
