The word "career" always scared me, it repelled me. Perhaps this is due to a generation I belong to, which some say is outdated, and believed that seriousness does not align with careerism. Thus, for me, the word "career" had a negative connotation. If this holds true for any profession, one can imagine how much more it applies to me in the realm of art or the realm of intellectual devotion generally. It is as tragic to say that someone is a successful priest with a significant career in the church as it is wrong to say that a painter or a director has a very successful career. In my view, the concept of career as it was traditionally used emphasized social and economic efficiency and success over the genuine contribution and true success of an artist. Therefore, I would advise young photographers to focus on the quality of their photography, to engage with the success they can achieve in communicating with the world, and perhaps then what are considered elements of a successful career, namely fame and money, will accompany their artistic success. I believe taking the opposite path leads to adventure. On this note, I would like to say that if we prioritize career, then automatically all the significant and substantial aspects of our critique, the introspection with which we take, choose, exhibit, and disseminate our photographs, must be subordinated under the shelter, under the roof of a career that presupposes that the opinions of many come first since they secure fame and money. If an artist begins to think about what captivates the audience in his era, be it the general public, the specialized audience, the affluent audience, or any audience, then he stops engaging with his inner self and seeking the reasons that led him to engage with any form of art. Then he becomes merely a careerist, someone who prioritizes success, fame, and money above all else in his life, which clearly are not bad if they follow personal success.
