Great talk. Been enjoying your videos. Business First. Photographer Second. This is where I started and am still learning: Created a Business Model (Focus Area(s))
Name, Logo, LLC, pricing strategy, customer relation management system (Honeybooks), money management system (Quickbooks). A good lawyer to write contracts and a good tax professional. Website (WordPress/HostGator - I can sell art, has a direct booking option, and can get paid through the website). Started a professional email account, and Social Media (Mainly points to Website). Finally, now I can work on photography and improving my skills.
Hey this is really good information. Thanks for making this. Brand Identity and Niche is REALLY Important which I find a lot take for granted
Thanks Jonathan. I should have some more videos like this up over the weekend :D
This is really useful Scott thank you- I am now asking myself all those questions!
I appreciate your advice man, big help!!
Thanks Scott, invaluable no nonsense information from you every time- very refreshing! Thank you
I don’t do any food photography at all (and probably never will!) but the general ideas and thoughts can be used across many genres of Photography
I’m mostly music and headshots...
Thanks David. Hope you enjoy this tomorrow evening :D
So glad I came across your name. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Glad it was helpful!
dude i love you, can't wait to learn all you have to teach. trying to launch my brand and photography career off the ground
Thanks, sure you will enjoy the journey.
Great video! Help to clarify things as well, I´ve just started my photography business, since I´m still looking for what could be my style and trying out a little bit of everything at the moment, I guess I made the write decision by going for a company name at first rather than my personnal name...can´t wait to see what´s coming next, keep posting !
That sounds like you are doing all of the right things :D I am going to edit the next video this evening and try and get it uploaded in the next few days.
Thanks scott for good & valuable content
han naftali thanks
Good stuff
I'm Starting as an independent photographer, I have always been an editor or work behind the screen because the situation forced me to. Because of the damn virus, I'm probably confident to say I'm broke. (might not have enough for rent next month) F
So your videos are a really nice guide to know how to take proper actions to start working.
YOU NEED MORE LIKES.
thank you for giving us so much value!
Thanks for watching Nicky. I should have some more up soon :D
Yes, finally hahaha! Funny, I think I have started to get and idea on what my style will be, I seem to be leaning to hard lighting as well, particularly trying to use shadows as much as I can.
After years of loving soft wrap around light, I have done a U turn. I shoot a lot of my work completely bare bulb now.
@@TinHouseStudioUK Yeah I am using a 7" reflector haha
Finally I know how to pronounce your last name. Been saying it (mostly in my head) all wrong the entire time!
Aaron Verleysen hahaha. It’s a nightmare of a name
Good advice! Must be nice to have your own studio of that size with 24/7 access :)
Thanks, it has its pros and cons. If I lived in London I would just rent them as and when, but because I don't I have to have my own space.
This is amazing content, I feel like I’m in a class room.
haha thanks Ben.
Hey Scott, I really enjoy your videos! Which monitor would you recommend for working on photo editing? Which monitor you use?
Also. Best description of cloud uploads ever.
Uploady cloundy doo dahhh thing.
🤣
All about that IT tech life!
Super. Im only a year late - ha ha.
Hey Scott, thank you for the great insights, I’ve been learning a lot. Before the lockdown, I’ve been aiming to become a contemporary portrait photographer, now I’m steering focus to food photography. What are your thoughts if I run only to those 2 genres?
OMG i have been saying your surname wrong for ever.
Richard Bradbury 😂 everyone does
