- Proverbs 22:29 – “Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will stand before kings…”
Proverbs 22:29 says that skill opens doors to influence and opportunity. It’s not about chasing status. It’s about faithfully developing excellence in what God has put in your hands.
When a photographer masters product photography, they learn precision.
Lighting, composition, clarity, and how to make an item look valuable and trustworthy.
When they master editorial photography, they learn storytelling.
Emotion, mood, movement, and how to visually communicate a message or identity.
A photographer who can both sell a product and tell a story becomes someone brands, publishers, and leaders trust. That’s what Proverbs 22:29 is talking about. Skill positions you in rooms you didn’t have to force your way into.
