    Man, I would love a video on how to price or create a pricing structure for shooting products/lifestyle for businesses. I swear you made a video like this before, but I can’t remember lol.

    1) Flat Lay
    2) Action Candid
    3) Macro / Fine Details
    4) Backdrop Product Shot
    5) Environment Photo
    This is helpful. Places like Amazon need 7 slots (including a video), so for the 6th one you can do the mandatory white background and upsell a product video.

    Ohh and kudos making this awesome video! I watched some prod photography courses and most start like "we're gonna use a 3 light setup with studio strobes that cost 5K a piece". I LOVE that you used natural light and a single light and some basic color paper. Photography costs a ton, it's hard to justify buying lens for 700-1,2K a body and some light, backdrop, tent, table, props, etc for another 2-3K so nice that you don't need to have all that right at the start 🙂👏

    My biggest question: what if I don't have a hobby outside of photography (digital, analog)? I like movies, books, some gaming, walking, traveling (although nowadays that's not easy), but there isn't a thing I know like you know sneakers.
    What could be a decent subject to start practising product shots (especially without the heavy use of models)?

    Can I ask how you go about reaching out to these companies? Or these companies reaching out to you rather. I’ve always wanted to work for specific companies or ones similar but its not like I have a following on social media so people see my work and I feel like emailing some companies a portfolio just seems too forward?? Idk! Would love to hear about that topic if you haven’t already. Great video btw!
