In today's video, we're going to be talking about something very important - photography has changed. Yes, that's right, we're not just talking about the rise of AI here, we're talking about the fact that photography has changed.
So if you're a photographer who's been sitting on the fence about shooting videos, this video is for you. We're going to be discussing the advantages of shooting videos, and showing you some of the ways that shooting videos can improve your photography. So be sure to check it out!

"We're not creators, we're not gear heads, we're business people" 👈 THIS!
Wrong, you need to be all three.
I found the part where you did the ventriloquism at 7:05 most entertaining
😝
Seriously though, keep up your great posts.
Glad you enjoyed! haha
I'm not a native speaker, so an overlay of English over more English is too much. What did Scott say? "So, what you have to do is...?"
Just that little bit about the camera cage is worth it's weight in gold to me.
I get hired by photographers often as a DP. I do stills as well but in 2015 I saw how important video could be and I started learning everything I could about it. It's a good spot to be in
Yup, I'm seeing this just in posting to my own Instagram channel recreationally. Did some tests and saw a spike of 83% more engagement on average with the video content, even when it's just short form, small action content of birds. The industry has 100% moved on to video.
My one other thought around this is, are clients looking to try and save money and put all of it onto one person? I ask this because what used to be three people (photography, video, direction) is now being sent to just one person. As someone who came from VFX, this is sounding eerily a lot like how we were slowly forced to wear more and more hats until we find we're doing the job of 5 people just to remain hired. Which has now pushed for a lot of my colleagues to try and unionize.
Thanks for keeping the good industry info coming! I loved how the audio that was supposed to be at tc 7:11 slipped to 7:07! (maybe you're just checking to see who's paying attention. snark) It's what happens when we're busy and churning out tons of content. Good BTS/outtake kinda stuff. Thanks for keeping' it real!
For food vids and stop motion work, a studio stand would be more practical than a video tripod.
I must admit I've changed. In my 20's I used film. In my early 50's I went to digital and video, 5 years later I've gone back to 1850's technology with full plate, wet plate photos. Can I make it commercially (well I make enough to order a beer), probably not, but its fun 😂😂😂
directing videos and movies and photography is quite different, but directing a short clip is similar to photography, moving ads are close to photography
I wonder if the hybrid/video roles will fill the middle market. Scott often talks about there being extreme polarity in the jobs (very high end or very high volume). Could this actually be a new opportunity for jobber photographers?
@@kenmorrisproducer I don't know, but it's not difficult to learn
You took something I care nothing about and made it both entertaining and fascinating. Thank you.
Quick heads up, a little sound problems at 7:10 and for a bit. Not sure if you can fix it in the youtube editor after posting?
Thought it was just me! 👍
sadly not, it plays fine in the back end, not sure how the audio has done that as its literally baked into the clip and its one cam only haha. Ah well, I think you can still understand the last point from the words that remain
@@TinHouseStudioUKYes! It crossed my eyes for a moment but the point you were making came through.
Yup, this is exactly right. Bang on Lockdowns I kept getting video requests, so I pivoted and have offered either short form video or short films since as well as stills. Bumped up the income too.
I have that same Smallrig video tripod and I can't recommend it enough if you're finding yourself in need of an entry-level video tripod (i'm thinking of picking up a second for my B-cam setup and second shooter). I picked it up after receiving increased demand for video work at my tiny little photo business. You just don't know how much the right set of sticks under your camera can improve your work until you go from trying to shoot on a stills tripod to a well-built video tripod. It might not be the best thing out there, but it's already paid for itself. IMHO it's value is much greater than the cost of purchase.
@ 7:05 sound issues..love the information
Welcome to the world of video! By the way, that IS a parabolic softbox but you are correct in that when adding the honeycomb to it that you are defeating the purpose of a parabolic softbox. Understand that this is one of many types of parabolic modifiers such as a parabolic umbrella or a parabolic reflector which is probably what you are more accustomed to in your line of work. The key in videography is having soft light hence the SOFTBOX portion of the parabolic softbox. The honeycomb while counterintuitive to the purpose of a parabolic softbox is simply to prevent light spill in situations where you don't want... light spill over! But you probably know all of this however some people in the comments may not so hopefully those that do not have a better understanding if they read this!
For light to be parabolic it cant be diffused as its the opposite of parabolic. It is also the wrong shape to collimate the light source. By adding the diffuser you don't make the light softer, just more diffused as the size of the light remains the same.The bit about the grid is correct though. Hope that helps
All the comments about the audio glitch at 7:06 mark illustrates why traditional photographer becoming hybrid video pro is challenging. Moreover, career videographers can probably dabble in photography more easily than photographers migrating to video. I don’t deny the premise of this video, but for those of us that don’t make their primary living on being a creative we can probably stay devoted to photography until they pry our Nikon Df out of our dead hands 😂
Yeah, it's about having the right clients and being busy to stay a still photographer. Also, most of my photo shoots involve lighting in multiple locations lasting 10 hours. When would I find the time to do both? Plus, when I'm not shooting the talent, then the video production team (if needed) is videoing them somewhere else while I'm moving to the next location, and setting up.
Scott, thanks for your content. How does one develop confidence to enter into the commercial/ATL world? Some of us have the talent for that work, but let fear/self-doubt get in the way, how did you manage this stage of your journey? what helped?
Good question! I will see if I can work out a way to make a video about it.
This gets a Lot more complicated for lifestyle shooters who find themselves pulling that double duty or without enough time to do their thing behind a motion crew. You should talk about it being a separate rate for directing & how licensing stills vs work for hire goes for motion…
INSANE INTRO. I feel the production improvement
I see the same happening in wildlife and nature photography. It is a completely different world than commercial, but all of the socials (which is where for me at least most of the contacts come from) you need a lot of wildlife video as well as good stills. Preferably in 9:16, which is why I suddenly appreciate open gate capture a lot more.
Might want to check that audio sync at 7:14
Thanks for the tip on the lens "detachment" for stop motion. Hopefully this will speed up editing in DaVinci so I don't have to use the deflicker fx.
Happy to help!
the hard thing about being a content creator if you're shooting for restaurants is how you juggle shooting photo and then video, so as a cost effective move, buy a hybrid camera. but yeap, video is a big part now in the client side marketing due to reels so that you'd still appear in the feed
thank you!

hahaha, not sure whats gone wrong there, ill ask the guys. File on desktop plays back fine, file on youtube back end plays back fine, video everyone can watch garbles up. Had this happen about 6 months ago too. EDIT - its also baked in audio rather than synced.
@@TinHouseStudioUK that's so frustrating, I'd imagine whatever compression algorithm utube is using tries to break the video up into chunks and it has messed up it's own syncing. This is one of the reasons youtubing is harder than people think, so much unexpected faff and tech babying
Yeah, a year ago I would have been horrified and re uploaded it, but it kills the videos growth so I just have to live with it now. haha
@@TinHouseStudioUK for some creators (I don't know how you get the privilege) you can do a 'reupload in place' that doesn't effect the existing views etc. I think you need a youtube insider contact though
Hey Scott! Always appreciate your videos, great education source! Would love see how so you edit your gif or moving images...(getting confused how to call them).
God I love watching your stuff - two months ahead on this one, I am!. My latest concerts are produced in combination still/motion. See the wave and surf it! You are so affirming when you aren't just outright informative.
NO FLUFF> thank you!
I was "only" a photographer until 2020. I even left money on the table in the years before that because photo work was good enough. Since then I've totally embraced all video and all formats of media. Even balls deep in after effects and guess what, I love it all. Pigeon holing yourself isn't going to work in this new era.
Very interesting. But the audio got messed up at around 7:13.
Running a business hasn’t changed, just the environment you work in and your customer. Like horse farrier when the automobile came along, newspaper printer when the internet delivered news etc.. Smart people adapt.
I have the B version of that light.
I use it with a cheap godox 90cm octa
Does the job
Photography is hard enough 🥵, now I need to learn video 😮!!?
Adding a cage also allows us to charge more 😂
Are you expected to do the full video from pre to shoot to edit as a normal"we want to hire you for video" job? Will they still hire you if you said I can light, shoot and direct but someone else has to color grade, process and edit the final? Or would you just budget a post process editor for that and bill the full package and freelance outsource the other work?
What happened at the 7:06 mark?
very informative video! your hack for stop motion works only with dslr or with mirrorless cameras too? thanks a lot
Is the cage you got for the 5Ds or just for the 5DMark IV as they're identical bodies? Had trouble finding a 5DS cage
7:05 😂
@TinHouseStudioUK - those guidelines for video billboards you mention - is there like, a list of those, somewhere? I'm building a portfolio to try and make a start doing product photography/videography and it would certainly be helpful to not have my portfolio showing off "non compliant" work when hoping to impress someone!
Been offering hybrid shooting and closing rates increased
What the hell happened to the audio at 7:06 ?
At 7:06 of your video you have some sound problems
i thought i got a heart attack 7:00 .... i d like to have a better explanation of this cause i m not too smart sir :D
Couldn't disagree more. It's like getting a plumber over and asking him to fix the lights 'whilst you're here'. Don't waste your time learning video and neglecting your photography skills, just hire a videographer and do a proper job. Jack-of-all trades etc etc
You should get robot.
Thanks for my daily Reality Check
No, just no. #bringbacklonghair hahaha
I would if I could
