Answer:
My top three professional photographers whose brand I would like to align my photography business with are Annie Leibovitz, Mario Testino, and Steve McCurry. I am drawn to the way they capture emotion in their photos and their ability to tell stories through their work. The top three most important steps for me to become competitive with these photographers would be to practice and hone my skills until they are at a high level, to create a unique style that would draw attention to my work, and to build networks so that I can collaborate and learn from other professionals in the industry.
