What if you were to turn your hobby or passion into a full-time job? Where would you start? Is there any help out there and to whom should you turn?
In this edition of OxTalks – sponsored by leading national law firm, Mills & Reeve – host Howard Bentham is joined by Paul Wilkinson, multi-award-winning photographer and founder of Paul Wilkinson Photography.
Many of us have hobbies and interests outside of work that occupy our spare time, playing an important role in our social life, as well as our mental health and well-being. But turning your hobby into a career is no mean feat.
Joining the conversation to tackle this challenge is Paul Wilkinson. Paul has been named the UK Portrait Photographer of the Year and boasts an impressive client list including Cadbury, The Sunday Times Magazine and Le Manoir – but he wasn’t always a photographer and left behind a high-earning career to pursue his passion. Find out how he did it on OxTalks.
OxTalks is recorded at the Oxford studios of Story Ninety-Four.
