With what do you need help the most from the business side of photography? Let me know below for future videos! 🥰
Hello Laura.
Thank you for great value.
Can you please create a basic blueprint on how you
plan and organise money, saving up to invest in photography and videography equipment
for serious professional work as a career.
Thank you.
Thank you for always keeping us focus on key essential instead of trying to do too much. Work on these keys and success will follow, gracias! 🤜🏾🤛🏼
You're most welcome Will! 😍 I do my best to keep it focused. I know how overwhelming it can be when starting out. Big hug! 😊
Yes, please, make the video about transitioning from a full tine job to your photography business!
Oh yes... balance is soooo key. I can certainly work myself silly, forget to eat and sleep, and suddenly have little left to give. Balance between work and play has always been such a tough nut to crack for me. Lol... the first sign of imbalance is usually when a close friend says I am grumpy and no fun. So then I step back, breathe, and re-evaluate. Hello, I'm Tami, and I am a creative workaholic! 😂😘
Hahaha you made my day Tami! I can totally relate. It’s so hard to keep the right balance. I’m a workaholic too. 😂 We need to get better at it! 😄❤️
Laura, I love your work and your humor. Thank you for everything you do. Your information is so useful and helpful.
Great stuff Laura!!
Such great advice, on social media talk to your client, not other photographers. Thanks for sharing this gem of a tip Laura.
You're most welcome! Glad you enjoyed the tips. 🥰🙏🏼
Thank you for the video, Laura!
I watch your videos every single day for the last week or so. As a beginner photographer, I really appreciate the tips and all the explanation with great details! Cheers 🥂 from South Carolina!❤

Muy buen vídeo y la información es crucial para fotógrafos que estamos empezando! Gracias!
Muchas gracias! Me alegro de que te haya gustado! 😊
Very useful information Laura! I'm currenly learning a few different topics and video is one of them. Thank you for always providing such a valuable content. 😍
You’re most welcome! It’s always good to know that you enjoy my videos Sara. 😊 Big hug!
Me encantan tus videos! Tienes toda la razón. Las cosas han cambiado mucho y ahora hay que aprender a adaptarse. No sabía nada de Skillshare. Voy a mirar! ❤ Muchas gracias Laura.
Muchas gracias! 😍 Me alegro de que te haya gustado el video. Echa un ojo a Skillshare, te va a gustar porque tiene muchos cursos relacionados con la creatividad! 😊🙏🏼
Cinematography and photography are are tricky enough. marketing is useful skill, Clients (for video are quite difficult to gauge some want short form etc, comments have gone up recently. very informative video Laura hoping to use the sony A7C mark II at some point one. challenge is to find the team so video is not doing too difficult role all at once. useful content.
Totally agree John! So many things are needed to grow. Some more difficult than others. That Sony A7C Mark II 😍 I love it!
I love your tips ❤
Thank you! 😊
Thanks a lot 👍
You're welcome! I hope you enjoyed the video! 🥰
Thanks for the vid Laura. Are you also to be found on Skillshare? I would love to follow a Photography course made by you there. 😊
You're most welcome! 😊 For now I don't have any course there. But I'm thinking about it and I may create some. 😍 Thank you so much for your feedback. It's good to know that you would like some of my courses there. 🥰
I want this too Laura! It would be great to see your courses there. 😍
Very informative, Laura! Thank you! Would you mind sharing the new course that you just purchased to help you with video? Thanks, keep up the good work!
Thank you Bastien! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊 The course is from Sam Kolder, an incredible filmmaker. You can find it here: bit.ly/3EzNUr8
Thanks so much for sharing, Laura! I’m curious to know what you think about the course. Are you enjoying it?
Sorry @@bastienhuet656 I've just seen this! YES! Sam Kolder is one of the best filmmakers out there. I recommend you to check his UA-cam channel. His course is very high quality and there is an amazing community as well. I've just started it because I'm learning DaVinci. So far I'm very happy. 😊
@@LauraBC Thanks Laura! I actually just signed up yesterday because I’m learning Davinci too. Keep learning 🔥looking forward to your next videos.
Silly question, does every photogpraher use photoshop? is light room sufficient enough. What are the first steps to take to get into brand photography
Not every photographer but it’s the most used. You can perfectly edit with Lightroom only. 😊 I like to use both. First steps to take: Build a portfolio first within the niche you want to get into. This can be doing collaborations. Build a website with your best shots. And then start approaching clients. It’s a very broad topic. I have a few videos on my channel that may help you but I’ll do more. 😊❤️
Yeah, I need a website 😮
For me it's a must. 🙏🏼 You can try the platform I use for free here: laurabc.com/squarespace
