Year late to this video but you made so many incredible points that really resonated. Ive heard so many stories from models of photographers being rude and intimidating and it makes me so sad. I always go out of my way to make every shoot fun and comfortable. Seriously love all of the thought you put into this video!
Thank you for posting you are so sweet! Topics: Basic studio setup (where to start from?) & Must have gear Flashes Capture one (basics) How to export pictures and organise them
Happy to hear you these tips helpful! Thanks for watching this video. As far as branding, when first starting out. While is important, I think I would prioritize relationships, and building a core network of creative that you can work with. Your work with time will have its own specific look/vibe which will by default become part of your brand.
Great video and tips! Thanks a lot! Halfway into the video I subscribed and hit the bell button and now I'll see all the other videos you have made. Cheers.
i just subcribed to your channel.. i love it.. you are very informative.. i like how your explained the the 5 things.. im struggling with 4 out of 5 .. i don't have a team. im afraid to reach out to model. etc. thanks for sharing this video..
Thanks for this! There are a few models that I'd love to shoot with but they've been in the game much longer and have achieve more success. I always feel like I am starting over, lol!
Great Video. I too struggled with reaching out to models for that same reason. Thanks for the encouragement/confirmation to reach out. Question: In reference to the point about "photography being a team sport" I noticed all the ppl you had on set. Who paid them? Did they volunteer? Was that a paid gig? And how do magazines typically pay the photographer? Do they give one lump sum (fee for photography, editing, staff, wardrobe, etc) or is it divided up?
In regards to the team sport reference, I shared that specifically to Fashion Photography. As you will need multiple creatives to pull a vision together (i.e.. Make up, hair, wardrobe, etc). Depending on the type of shoot, that may dictate how everyone gets paid. If is a commercial shoot for a client, their fees are included in the proposal to that set client. If it is a collaboration or TFP at that point creative may often work as trade. Even though I have sometimes paid out pocket if there was a vision that I really wanted to put together and wanted specific individuals to be part of the project.
My biggest struggle now is, if I am going to collab with a MUA or hairstylist or even model, do I offer to do a trade for portfolio or do I have to offer to pay for their time?
It depends on their level of experience. If you are both at a similar level and can benefit from adding the work. I would offer to TFP. But if the MUA or Stylist is more stablished and adding their work to your book will be primarily beneficial to you, I would offer to pay for their time.
This video it's like gold, very informative cuz you speak based on experience🙌 My struggle is once I have a good portfolio, what do I have to do? Talk to the brands I want to work with? And something else: what advice can you give me to make a good fashion portfolio? THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS AND ADVICES🙌🙌🙌🙌💯
Thank you man, really appreciate this comment. I'll try to answer your questions, even though there can be varying answers. To start a good portfolio, I would start by identifying the type of work and brands you will like to work for in the future. Then make sure that your test shoots and portfolio building shoots are in line with what you see from those brands. As far as talking to the brands, I would say don't focus on the brand as a whole, but focus on finding the right person within brand to build a connection with. I would say LinkedIn is a very underutilized tool by photographers, but it is an easy place to find the individuals in charge of hiring photographers for many brands. Hope this helps!
Start off with one light, and more if required, and shoot tethered.
So informative, love it! Would like to see more about creation and uses of mood boards.
Thanks for the tips. Did some personal work. Wish you great success this year.

Who paid them?
Did they volunteer?
Was that a paid gig? And how do magazines typically pay the photographer?
Do they give one lump sum (fee for photography, editing, staff, wardrobe, etc) or is it divided up?

Why dont write those 5 things in the Infobox to help us to save time?
