I suffered immensely when I first started, you know, just like everyone that goes through it.

There was no difference.

And I made my opportunities.

I took advantage of them when they were there, but it took a long time.

I've been doing this for 20 years.

And people can sit there and wonder, why am I not?

Dude, that dude, I could, I could do so much better than, you know, and sometimes it's not so much

better that's being it.

It's not just about what the picture is.

There's so much more to it.

And that's the thing that I think people, when they get into it and really experience it,

Whether it seems easy or not, there's still nothing easy about it.

Brian Bowen-Smith is a legendary photographer known for his celebrity portraits. He shot key art for movies, television magazines, and everything in between.

If you take a couple steps right outside my apartment here in Los Angeles, you'll see three

billboards in the city with his work on it.

His portfolio is prolific.

He's worked with everyone from Miley Cyrus to Martin Scorsese, Kevin Hart, Nicky Manage, and Dwayne the Rock Johnson.

We talk about Brian's past and his humble upbringing, how starting out with nothing gave

him an outlook and a perspective on life that still carries through to this day.
