True for any kind of business. I am getting into photography and Videography for my marketing and all what you are saying is 100% true and always valid.
Not a problem. I don’t want to work in photography. Somehow a few times I land a job. And remind myself why I don’t want to work In photography. For me, it’s a hobby. My work sucks. My ethics are good. I just want it to be fun.

"Why did you delete my comment?

Thanks for your video. I give you a thumbs up. This summer, I photographed pop and rock concerts. Last weekend, a man in the audience asked me: Why do they hire a professional photographer when you can get the same pictures with a cell phone? I replied: Because I make works of art, the others take snapshots!
Spot on! A lot of people don't realize that photography takes real work. Ypu just don't hang up ypur shingle as a photographer and then money falls from the sky. You have to have a portfolio. You have to go out and often knock on doors. I've seen photographers with absolutely sucky portfolios that are rolling in cash. They get business because they actually go oit and do the work to find business. You can't rely on just one platform to get yourself seen. Every minute counts. If you are not working at a given time then you should be working on finding business and improving ypur portfolio. But most people sit on their arse and wait for their ship to come in, which of course it won't. If ypur ship doest come in, swim out to meet it. Ypu have to do the work.
Valuing every minute is key, but so is counting our breaths to stay grounded. It’s about balance-ensuring we hustle without losing sight of self-care to avoid burnout. Remember, a calm, focused photographer produces the best work.
I started photography hobby in the 80's with good attitude. It's still a hobby but now my personality sucks. But that's ok because I made a decision long ago that I keep it just a hobby. Life is choices and you have to live with it.
I’m a retired lawyer and an enthusiastic amateur photographer in retirement. Nevertheless I find your videos about the industry compulsive viewing. Love the clarity and concise presentation. 👍
Came up through the ranks as a professional Press Photographer, after the original NCTJ qualification years ago. Had to work hard, and travel (obviously)….Still use two Nikon D3s, now 15yrs old….Still get commissioned, still get paid to meet interesting people, and am grateful to every photographer I learnt something from….Great video!
Over the past month I've been looking at my portfolio. Thinking about my work ethic and where I am focusing my energy when it comes to my career. This video is like an eye into my mind because these are questions I have asked my self. After having a deep conversation with my self I have acknowledged major errors as to why I am not achieving more then what I currently am. Ultimately I need to get my arse in gear. Get in the studio and work. Great Video Scott! See you tomorrow
I'm just a hobbyist, but I've learned from my own industry (which is also in visual department), you have to know how to sell yourself, high skill is not enough to make it if no one knows about. This is a good video none the less.
I agree with all of it. Just would like to add one small thing - Camera is not holding you back but making your job easier/harder (also depends on what kind of a job, and I'm mostly thinking about AF performance)
Appreciate your honestly. It's actually very refreshing and encouraging as a new photographer. Just like any industry.... it's about getting out there and putting in the work (both externally and internally)
I love your comment on cameras made after 2005. I bought two 5D MKII bodies a few months ago. What a great camera! If you can't take a good picture with a 5D MKII, you can't take a good picture. It's not the camera. I chose them over getting an R5. Glad I did!
Nice true points you have here, but as for cameras - I had 5DmkII, but it was with such a terribly narrow dynamic range. After switching to Nikon Df my workflow become much more easy - no more exposure bracketing needed, much better high iso raw files. And finally switched to Fuji - and again - almost no editing needed now, much more faster results.
BINGO!! Good on you mate! 100% There are those that will winge regardless. And I might add, so many out there that think buying the latest camera is going to make all the difference. I've been turning down work just because I'm too busy with what I am doing atm. One has to cut ones losses to what works and what doesn't. Even with the latest phone technology, one can shoot the most amazing images providing you have the right amount of light. Stop winging and get out there and just do it :)
Truly location matters so much for a lot of genres. Depressed economy, regional attitudes, competition from "cheap but good" or convincing liars is real, and that really does ruin the attitudes and expectations of the customers. I suck or my work sucks is a definite consideration, and one that few people are willing to accept. It's also conditional. You can be a great product photographer, but suck at people or anything that moves.
Haha! Love it. Stone cold truths and 💯on point. I'd also add...Hustle. If you don't hustle, you will eventually be forgotten. This also applies to pro's who are repped.
I know photographers that have horrible work horrible personalities but they still get work reason is because they’re a good talker ! They know how to BS!
I love your brutal videos, telling it how it is. So I need to work out if my work sucks or if I'm not fun to work with LOL There is probably a bit of "I don't want to move to London" going on too.
Hard truths are not easy to swallow. Yet we need to face them and push through and do what needs to be done if we want to achieve our goals. Otherwise we can sit on the sidelines and watch the others get them.
In the mid eighties, my dream was to be like Terry O'Neill. However, I ended up on plan B. I've alway been a photographer and yes, it can't be denied my pictures suck. Well, I quite like that! 😊😊 Now, I do what I gotta do. I don't have to make monetary value. Although it would be nice. 😊 If it's meant to happen it will. Being financially successful that is. If it doesn't don't let it destroy your photography.
I liked this video; there's a lot of wisdom in it, but you're mistaken that there are as many jobs for photographers now as there were, say, 20 years ago. I live in Los Angeles, the epicenter for entertainment and media. I've been into photography since the 90s, shooting Kodak and Fuji film on a Nikon 8008. Major photo studios have closed in Los Angeles. Print media is not nearly at the level it once was (lost jobs), and more ad spend is put into influencers taking their own pics than paying someone like Herb Ritts (RIP) to shoot Cindy Crawford. The market has definitely declined, and it's more difficult to eke out a living in photography than it was 20 years ago.
I like ALL of the points because they are the hard truth... and I equally like your channel for the same reason... you don't hide it from the public... hard truths, brutally slapped in the face, take it or leave it LOL 💥💥💥💣🔥
In my late teens I considered a career in photography but then realized that an enjoyable activity would become work so I went in a different direction to earn a living. If my photos suck I can still eat and have a roof over my head. Now retired I can take photos to please myself.
I'm going on a 10 day trek. Nothing crazy, no snow, no rain. I have a 5d ii and a panasonic gf1. Really wanting to keep my pack light because the trekking is around 4-6 hours a day. Think the gf1 will be enough or should I take the 5d ii? I remember your saying "any camera made after 2005 is a good camera."
I suck, simples 😂 i have the go get em attitude but my work is genuinely nowhere near good enough to be successful. It will be one day though, I will make sure of it.
love this video. like said i would love to relocate and make a go of it but the reality is that im happy where i live so i just suck it up and do what i can. how much of it comes down to networking and pitching to people compared with pure right place right time luck?
Don't know about making it or otherwise as a pro-photography but what you say makes sense. I'm an old crusty so grew up on 35mm film. And no, I'm not going to harp on about the good old days because digital cameras have made photography affordable for all. They're brilliant, so I don't understand this desire for film cameras. Completely agree with you on digital cameras, I use a Pentax K70 myself because it suits my needs and it was cheaper than similar spec alternatives.
Same here (growing up on 35mm), but I'm a graphic designer so became an 'end user' of photography. Learning photography was a major part of my graphic design art education though. I've really enjoyed the massive strides in technology in both photography and design. One thing hasn't changed though! I've still got the camera bag that housed my Pentax ME Super and lenses, but now houses a Canon 5D MkII. It's just heavier. 😁😁
Nobody would knowingly want to spend 'repeat' time with anyone who wasn't beneficial to be around. So your thesis make sense. But if your work sucks then it's only friendship getting you work and that won't guarantee you much of a living. IMO you have to be both good and fun to be with. I also think that applies to most work genres. I was told by friends and colleagues who saw my amateur photography, that I could probably do it professionally. Complemtary, as they were I knew they didn't know much about photography. I didn't live in London and I already had a good paying day job. So kept it as a hobby. I did a few 'pro' assignments as a sideline, hired by some who liked my work. But knew there were better more secure ways to earn a living. But good luck to those who can make it work for them.
Thank You for this video. I did freelance in my younger days, days of film and darkrooms. freelance for newspaper . years later I helped with a Reuters photographer covering the Grand prix that was in Phoenix Az. Now any photos I do is for me. I have had some come up to me with ego trips oooozing out the butts, saying I am a photographer. My reply to them was you are not until you are dead that is when you stop learning. I have had photographers tell me that I can't do it that way, it won't work. I have proven them wrong. I did a shot, and put it on a photo share page. (just for giggles) Had a lot of "photographers" how I got that shot it was so good yada yada yada. So I put a photo on that showed my set up. The set up was 4 flashlights and copy paper. Either reflecting or going through the paper. to soften the light. Majority of the replies was YOU GOT TO BE FKING KIDDING!" ( when you are poor you make do with what is available}{ anyway back to your video well done well said!
The hard truth in photography is that it's rarely just about the process of taking pictures. 80-90% of the time is typically spent on supporting activities. While the final product is crucial, ironically, it's often the easiest aspect to adjust or fix.
When a company deliberates between 2 photographer choices and both have equally good work and good personalities, they will usually go with the one with the lower price. And you say, "you can change your prices", of course, but that company has already made their decision and you don't know how much the other photographer undercut you, and next time around when you have an opportunity to give a quote- do you listen to the people who want to stop the race to the bottom and stick with your optimal rates, or do try lowering prices because you're tired of losing work for pricing reasons, or just remain confused...
As someone who shoots with a Leica, can we add an exception for digital Leicas in the "cameras from 2005 onwards" haha. Subtract 5 years or more from the age of a Leica when comparing.
I have to disagree with you on your opinion of camera bodies not mattering specifically for wildlife photography, not that I have any inclination to make money from photography but my R7 gets way more hits than my old 5D2 But I do agree in principle and still love the old dslrs
Another true story, learn, learn learn. A golf pro is not no.1 just because he owns golf clubs. He needs to learn every shot and master it. Photography pretty similar. When you think you’re good. You can be better. Composition, concept of image and light always more important than the equipment or mega pixels. Experiment, fail, learn. And be better every shot.
Well, come try be a working photographer in a damn small soviet town in the poorest and most corrupt country in eastern Europe - Bulgaria. You'd be broke in 3 months, I can bet. Hence I transitioned to bird videography/photography. Still broke with huge loan for my gear but at least I still have the hobby 😂😂
So to make good money you need to have about 60+K subs, and manage other photographers starting out so you can make real money while they start out. LOL. A photographer that is good, and I think you are, does NOT make a living managing other shooters, nor have any ffffn time for UA-cam. Photography business is NOT the same as it was years back. It has change DRASTICALLY.
Truth again. I see why you say you like working with young people. It's primarily the older (not in age, in years of photography) that refuses to acknowledge this.
I should add, I am guilty of ALL of these ....
True for any kind of business. I am getting into photography and Videography for my marketing and all what you are saying is 100% true and always valid.
That's why you actually know these truths so well … 😁 They do apply in other areas, too! Well, not necessarily this big-money part … 😉
Not a problem. I don’t want to work in photography. Somehow a few times I land a job. And remind myself why I don’t want to work In photography.

That beginning about me , hope work not sucks but probably personality sucks
I think a nuance of point one, is that you do work that the market does not want. Maybe good but it’s not needed.
Move . . . but make sure your work doesn't suck and/or you have a good personality first! :) (and be willing to work!!)
I am definitely getting out of the house RIGHT NOW and going to do photography. Oh look...cookies.
Agree with one exception: If you're in sports or wildlife autofocus does matter. It has come a long long way since the 2010s.
Recruit for attitude, makes it easier to train or help develop their skills.

I'm guilty of both these things - But hey, I think I'll start a UA-cam channel 🤣😂😊
As someone who shoots with a Leica, can we add an exception for digital Leicas in the "cameras from 2005 onwards" haha. Subtract 5 years or more from the age of a Leica when comparing.
I have to disagree with you on your opinion of camera bodies not mattering specifically for wildlife photography, not that I have any inclination to make money from photography but my R7 gets way more hits than my old 5D2
But I do agree in principle and still love the old dslrs
I also have an ex-assistant who’s doing well, alright photographer but possibly a psychopath. Being a psychopath is another useful tool.
i dont contact agancies i get work from calling and being good at sales and deliver high end stuff.
the thing is; I know that my photos suck.. how do I improve?
How's about my works good but my anxiety is so hide I don't share any of it
I. Fucking. Love. You.
Agree
just bought a 6d 😁
My personality is absolute garbage, and I'm getting work, so maybe my photos aren't crap!
The thing is you have to be me

Nah, marketing is important . Without no will know you are out there irrespective of the quality of your work
Another true story, learn, learn learn. A golf pro is not no.1 just because he owns golf clubs. He needs to learn every shot and master it. Photography pretty similar. When you think you’re good. You can be better. Composition, concept of image and light always more important than the equipment or mega pixels. Experiment, fail, learn. And be better every shot.
My opinion is stop gear chasing. Work on improving, not expecting 50mp sensors to magically fix your framing, compositions and light balances.
