How To Land Your First Client
I remember the anxiety I felt when I first opened up my photography services for business. I wasn't completely sure of how to find my clients, where to find them, or how to entice them. What I eventually learned is that I needed to do everything I possibly could to be heard--I needed to put my name out there so that potential clients could see me! In this video, I put together a few tips on how to put your business out in to the world in order to land your first (of many) client.

Why and How to Decline a Client
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.4 года назад
During the beginning of my professional photography career, one of the hardest things to say to a client was, "No." I know it's so tempting to take on every client that comes your way. Trust me, I've been there. But you'll come to a point in your photography career (or any business for that matter) where meeting every demand will drain your resources, time, experience, and overall quality of th...

The rule of thirds allows you to play with harmony, balance, and composition while visually telling your story the way you see it through your eyes. Hope this video encourages you to try it out! Remember, you'll o...

      Hi Michael, thank you for viewing the video. I'm glad you enjoyed it! I did not get any professional formal training and only learned from the school of RUclips ;). In my opinion, formal school is a nice to have but not a need to have.

    Hold up. I saw the whole video and saw the whole shoot and you didn’t upload the resulting photos??? I even gave this video a thumbs up… you can’t leave us hanging like that. It’s like the projector breaking at a movie theater right before the end of the flick. We need closure!!!

    I have a problem with starting a home portrait business doing environmental portraits out doors or in public venues.. I live in a very small studio apartment that isn't suitable for meeting clients. So, there is a problem with the initial consultation, but I can get past that. But the sales meeting after the shoot is something I haven't been able to figure out. Billing isn't a problem. I can do that with my web site and in person with Square card readers. However, I haven't figured out where to meet clients after the photos are edited for the sales meeting. I can't afford an office. Any ideas?

      Thanks so much Terry! I'm shooting on manual mode and always at a low f-stop for portraits because I love that shallow depth of field (anywhere from f1.2-f2.0). I adjust the aperture and ISO around that.
