You're right it definitely takes time. I lost my job in March due to the pandemic, so that gave me time to focus on photography. I'm just now getting my first few clients
studio space video!!! ceiling height... square footage.. rental fees.. building your cove.. do you work your studio space rental into your rate?? anything studio related would b rad :)
thank you! i learned photography by myself as well, and also videos, and I'm so into fashion photography. recently I'm doubting myself for my abilities, but now I think that I just need to work harder and smarter and keep LEARNING! THANK YOU
I’m going to a school for photography, I started really early with making photos but it really helps with technical experience and it’s really fun working with people with te same passion :)
I think one of the best things about going to school for photography is being exposed to new styles, techniques and history that you might try on your own. Plus, access to equipment and studio space beginners won't have THE best thing has to be critiques of your work! Who has ever hung up their photos in front of a professor and 10+ other photographers and been torn apart? Haha. I can tell you, the average self taught photographer posting on social media has not. Having hundreds of Instagram likes, high numbers of followers, and clout chasing, they probably only ever heard glowing reviews of their work and can't handle that they're not perfect I was a member of a Facebook group where people would dam near come to blows over CC. "Your rim light is a little hot" or "the skin retouch is too plastic" was met with "I meant to do that!" School teaches you how to detach yourself from your work; to listen, and come back better. Also, it teaches you how to GIVE a critique with respect and to defend your work when necessary
I really love all of your videos. You are very articulate and I feel like I can relate really well with your photography journey. Which feels good cause this career path can feel very lonely sometimes. Thank you for sharing your experience. :)
I'm a photographer and am thinking of starting a studio and renting it out, too! I would love to see how that works for you, how you do bookings, what you looked for in a space, cost breakdown in regards to hiring out the space (eg do you charge for a cleaner afterwards or whatnot). Any and all info you give about how you run your studio for yourself and for hiring to others would be greatly appreciated!
@@danielg7216 How do you figure out how much your photography is "worth"? To your point it seems that some people will only take you seriously enough if you charge higher rates.
Thanks for these pieces of advice. I didn´t go to any photography university (in fact, because of family pressure I studied Electronics, and years later I quit that thing) and I can confirm that the really useful stuff in photography is what you learn through research + practice + analyzing your images + fixing errors... and then repeat. Sure, you need things like photography history, light physics theory and so things that teach in school... but... you can also learn it by yourself ;). I´m not against the school, but the most creative people I´ve ever known has been self-taught. Coincidence?
Cool video bro 🙏🏽 Was nice to hear your story. I am at the same place with my own studio and business. Just in videography. Keep it up mate your work looks really good 🔥
How did you find your studio space to begin with? I'm wanting to follow a path similar to yours with no idea where to start haha. Could you do a vid on how you got off the ground with your space? Love your content and your pics are out of this world! Cheer! :)
Hi. I am a big fan of you. I am learning many things from your videos. I have a question. When I use a vivid colour background I am scared of the colour repletion especially on a model’s face and clothes. Would you give me tips?
thanks a lot for those very personal and very helpful informations 👍 How do you calculate your prices and how do you orient yourself with these calculations? Maybe at the prices of other pros in your region?
I wasn’t expecting That gasp when you’re talking about that you wouldn’t recommend university. I was alone in my room it scared the shit out of me 😂😂😂😂😂😂 hahaha
I'm a new photographer and did a free shoot last weekend (3hrs, 380 photos down to 8photos) and worked photoshop, your work got me excited to start up. So if I can get free publicity from her, I'm hoping to get paid jobs. My photshop is shyat tho lol I'm trying, I just think when i do photo shop, did i get their hair line?... is this worth the 5 pounds? lol Thanks dude.
If you're going to do a lighting course - you may want to consider making it an official paid online course just like the guy parker walbeck on youtube, imho. That'a great monthly income and you deserve it. All these lighting guys are running ads to your audience for their courses on your channel as I watch this vid. It's totally worth it and can be a little more of passive income after the initial set up.
how did you learn photography? can you please mention the exact name of 2 people that you said in this question because i cannot understand properly that 2 names please
I never earned a single penny from photography. Photography only costs a ton of money. I spend about 70 hours a week doing shoots and editing shoots (mostly editing). All on a TFP basis. How the hell do you find time to look at all those things you said you get your inspiration from?? I spend like every free minute editing images.
Hey Ian, new subscriber here! I've got a silly question about gear, which I know isn't THAT important, but in the world of high end fashion portraits I was sure: I've got a Sony a7iii with an 85 1.4gm and REALLY want to start shooting fashion portraits. You've inspired me! Is there specifics you look for in cameras that would be "industry standard?"
A video about having a studio space and how all of that works would be really helpful !!
YESS AGREED
Yesssssssss pleaseeeeeeeeee 💗💗💗
pleeeeaseeee
yes
THIS
You're right it definitely takes time. I lost my job in March due to the pandemic, so that gave me time to focus on photography. I'm just now getting my first few clients
Sorry to hear about the job, but glad to hear things are picking up!
I just found this channel. I’m hooked how humble this guy is.
Thank you for your inspiration
I’ve been doing pro photography for a year, I love it!

“PHOTOGRAPHERS MAKE MONEY?!” I felt that to my soul 😭
Travis Wallace some do but the majority are making ends meet.
@@sexysilversurfer I was a struggling photographer until I raised my prices alot. My avg sale is $2200 a shoot.

Are we going to get a tour of your studio?
I need to get UK Visa
What advice do you have for somebody that does not have a camera but a lover of photographing!
can you talk about test shoots?
How can get the best focus on my camera...i feel like i I often gets slightly blurred pics on my 5d mark iv using a 24-70 aperture 4?
Could be a number of things, including - but not limited to - poor technique, bad lens, back/front focusing issues.
What type of floors and steps do you models step on?
What background are you using?
he is so so cute 😦😊 great video learn about of tips how to take my photography further.
what's your age bro ? at the what age you started photography professionally ?
God I learned a lot😇,
I wish I could connect with you personally 😔.
Great info thx Ian
What lav mic are you using?
how can I tag Rihanna here???
I don’t know how I knew he was gonna say “Rihanna”
How did you learn editing? Do you edit yourself or send to outsource?
watched photoshop tutorials on UA-cam! I still edit myself at the moment
What happened to the editing video you had up? It was great!
