#2: Tsour Lee Adato, founder of Product Photography Studio:

We chatted with with Tsour, founder of Product Photography Studio ($45K/month). In our interview, Tsour says:

Learn the business, hone your skills, and figure out what makes you stand out so you are not playing the copycat game and not simply just one of the herd.
