When Jeremy Cohen was just 15 years old, a trip with his family at Yellowstone National Park unexpectedly sparked his love of photography.

"My dad bought me a digital camera point-and-shoot," Jeremy shared with . "My sister began taking pictures with it and I thought they looked awesome, so I was eager to test it. I snapped a lot of pictures of nature and it inspired me to enroll in an film photography course at my high school as an elective once I came back home."

The initial desire to document the world around him set the tone for his career as professional photographer. From the Quarantine Roof Culture series through his everyday Today I Photographed portrait project, Jeremy went on to make use of his camera to "uplift and amplify untold portrayals of humanity." The world took notice: Jeremy has built an audience of more than one million people on social media and has even been able to scale a successful freelance photography career.

Turning to freelance using a website

That strategy paid off: "I started to get accepted for small-scale gigs, and gradually progressed to eventually go full time as a freelance photographer."

"I have multiple uses for my website ," Jeremy says. "It's my primary portfolio that allows visitors to look through the absolute most impressive of my work, no matter if it's my personal work, clients workor other miscellaneous photos."

A website can also help to build the trust of freelancers. "In my experience," Jeremy says, "a strong website is essential to any photographer who wants customers to believe in them."
