Could you make a tutorial on how to take these photos? Like what type of things should you be looking for and what things you should take photos of?
Great question! I used the 35mm Sigma and the Sony 24-70mm 2.8 for those shots. You want to look for natural lighting when shooting around a cafe to get even lighting across the subject you're shooting.
Try take photos of the barristers making the coffees to show the process, photos of the whole establishment from the outside and of course shoot the actual coffee and dish (if they make you one) themselves next to a window for natural light.
The owner or manger of the cafe might ask for you to take photos of the customers sitting around, before you shoot ask the people sitting down if its alright for them to be in the photograph.
Good luck man! Go make some money :D
North Borders Thanks for the tips man!
Quality post man, thanks for sharing your insights. Did you edit the pictures in Lightroom as well? Maybe make a tutorial on that for us to see how to create an end result like that!
Fucking hell ahahahahah you guys are creating monsters...poor photography.
Love the hustle boys
This is literally the first video I’ve seen a photographer go out and make money in a video. Rather than just saying “hey you can make money this way...” and taking about it in a video. This video is 🔥
Tyler Hansen literally bro I said the same thing
Tyler Hansen *cough cough... Peter McKinnen *cough
Totally agree.
If you think that this is going to make you the big bucks the long run, good luck.
@@oxymoran1931 no dip shit but it teaches you basic selling skills. How to build yourself and your brand from ground up.
"I'm ready to get rejected a hundred times".
I need this energy.
me too
How about this... you go out & do a free shoot for a cafe... print the best 15-20 pics & put into a smart folder in say 10x8...
Now, go into cafe's & ask for the manager. You want his professional opinion as a cafe owner on your work....
See's your doing this for other cafe's to market to local customers & now ask if they'd like this work too...
Once these business owners actually see how awesome your work is & making other cafe's in competition look, you may find it easier to sell them on the idea of having an on the spot shoot... deffo worth a try, props for hustling 100%
Scott Mathieson yeah, agree they are doing it without really selling their skills.
@@tory6733 personally if I was to try this, I would set it up in a system. I would do it as I explained but instead of trying to sell them on the spot, I would offer one cafe or whatever in the city the chance to win a free shoot...
Go round with your work to showcase... say what you would charge, example $200. Explain it's a free to enter prize draw for local businesses. Do the draw, then go back to the businesses and offer a discounted rate as a gesture for entering so they still get a deal. Make sure the the discount is if they take you up on the offer in the next 48 hours.
No money on the spot negotiations, potential clients have been offered a chance to win your service for free and then been offered a good discount just for entering if they use you in the timeframe you lay out. Use the reason why method of offering a discount so you eliminate the 'what's the catch' question in the mind. For example...
"Mr jones, thank you for entering my prize raffle to win a free photo shoot for your business worth $300. As a gesture of goodwill for entering, though you didn't win, I'd like to offer you a steep discount and do the service for $200 if you take me up on the offer within by wednesday morning 12pm.
The reason for this is because I do this service on a city to city basis, if I can get a few of you guys to use me over the next 5 days, it will save me a shit load of travelling back & forth different places and cut my fuel costs. I can also structure my work week more efficiently than driving here there & everywhere..."
Make sure you get a pic of you with the cafe owner outside the establishment for your testimonial use for yourself. If other local businesses recognise local owners who use you, it may prompt them to also use you as they will know they are making a concerted effort to gain market share.
Scott Mathieson exactly what I was thinking. Also might figure a way to set up these cafes who aren’t up to date with social media with accounts and give them a basic walk through on posting and etc.
Maybe even come with your normal pricing and say but if you them today I can get you this deal. Ex, I usually charge $300 for these kinds of shoots but I’m in the area so I’m able to do them for you for $225 plus a coffee for me and my buddy 😂
But props on getting out there and grinding guys.
Great video.
@Max Sharpe ye of course, but there's something about seeing quality photography in quality print than seeing lower quality pics on a little phone screen that can easily be scrolled over in less than half a second per pic. It is also positioning... a quality smart folder with nice print gives an impression of a premium service instantly. Also opens up an opportunity for multiple dialects to build rapport, that isn't going to happen on instagram. Also have to factor in the human element of forgetting your IG name or being too lazy to check you out at the end of the work day etc.. or they may end up looking at your stuff a few weeks down the line.
Everyone has an opinion, there's zero pressure to sell or be sold for each party, you are asking for an opinion from another professional in his field. Sometimes people don't realise what they want until they are shown first hand something they have never seen. Happens to me everytime my mate links me to some cool tech gear 😂😂😂🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
For anyone interested im on IG @esm1987 I recently started shooting american bullies and the like for dog breeders. May end up being a nice little earner, already have plans for a seperate page setup with a dedicated service for that kind of stuff.
@Enfim cc... ye could even setup their social media and run it for them if they feel it is overwhelming
Scott Mathieson one thing happened to me that really opened my eyes.
I run a remodeling business and I’m a realtor and aspiring videography and photography creator (barely getting started and it’s a hobby for now)
But my daughter was born a few months back and the second day in the hospital a photographer came by and asked if I wanted to buy photographs so I declined to purchase them seeing the pricing but she said if it was OK she could take some pictures and after she took the pictures she could show me the work and see if I liked it and if I change my mind so it was crazy it was maybe a 10 minute photography shoot and once she was done she pulled them up edit them a little bit and show them to me no joke first I had declined and after I bought a $200 packet of pictures. There’s nothing like seeing the finished product in hand. I’m used to my type of business model I never rally tried doing just that. Sometimes you have to give samples so people see your talent and once they see it they are willing to pay you your worth
“We’re really behind the times” then wouldn’t you want a photographer to help you step up your game? If you’re behind the times get with them.
Same thought popped in my head at that moment...
jhjjhg1 yeah i thought she said that because she was welcoming the idea.
jhjjhg1 at least they’re being nice.
And instead they could be rude and tell these guys tp “f*ck off!”
Would of offered to bring them up to the times. Most business owners I've dealt with have no idea where to start or what to do. Normally too proud to say it though Haha.
It’s not their fault this photographer failed to show them just what kind of value he can add to their business and how important good photography is for their business
What this video taught me is I need some bussiness cards 😂
Business cards can be good but at the same time so many people hand out business cards. Where is your point of difference?! Metal business cards can be a good alternative since they feel and look nice so places/people are less likely to forget about them or throw them away.
@@NorthBorders I've been playing around with the idea of a metal business card that the potential client can just snap a picture of on their phone. Give it a name, website, Instagram and a QR code which takes them to your site. It's a real shame that girl said they were behind the times with no social media, could have sold them a complete setup. website, pictures, Instagram, facebook etc.
Start it online, maybe pay for some ads, website, or Instagram
I went to 20 places one day, got rejected by 18, left my card at 2, didn't get any calls #hustle
TheBrandonS! Then you went to 20 more places and 5 of them said yes?
@@menkaureburns5039 No, unfortunately I don't live in an area with lots of places so if I went any further than I did to the other places it wouldn't be worth the gas to potentially come home empty handed again
TheBrandonS! Use that as fuel! And continue the grind at another business.
@@thatmanbran1811 bro i feeel this its dope for photography to live in a rural place but not when mu are trying to make money with it.
unless you have a good social media following
When I first made my business, I went through 28 different business in different cities and I only got 1 call back. But it was a client that got me lots of work in the future. You must make rejection your bestfriend
CESAR RODRIGUEZ MONTIEL it’s also a sales piece. We all need rejection answers and questions we can ask our customers that say no.
$150 to spend on the next episode of editing photos drunk featuring Mike, Liam and Hayden.
Awesome video man, I think Liam put it best when he said he’s ready to get rejected a lot of times. Once people accept the fear of rejection, the sky is the limit.
AHAH sounds good man. And YES be prepared for alot of rejection, but at the end of the day its a numbers game. If you've got a good pitch and you're willing to spend and hour taking some photos, eventually a cafe will say yes.
North Borders that’s it man, it’s also important to not take rejection personally, once people are able to not take rejection to heart they’ll become more efficient and professional
Walks into Dunkin’ Donuts and asks for the manager
Asks if they need photos for Instagram
Manager says yes
Gets a multi-million dollar contract photographing for Dunkin' Donuts nationwide
Gabriel Porfirio GOAL
no one:
literally no one:
North Borders: Hey, what the fuck's going on
Flippin'Bass I WAS GONNA COMMENT THIS😂😂😂
thats pretty tame for australia aha
I like how instead of talking about it, you actually put boots on the ground and showed how it’s done.
Exactly! Love it too 😃
Incredible video by North -- great to showcase the hustle
1:35 First location visit - rejected
1:55 Third Cafe visit - rejected, didn't show number 2
2:12 4th Cafe visit - rejected; said they're behind the times
2:53 5th cafe visit - places that look more modern are nicer to him
3:30 8th cafe rejected
3:42 9th cafe rejected
4:10 10th Cafe - Success! - Manger invited him into the back, decided he'll make him a coffee for photos. At the end made $150!
5:25 Review of gig - 1 hour of work and 40 photos, now he's got another job for a recommendation. It's about the connections.
5:57 Song - Come Around By Da Today, drone shots
6:06 Learnings from the day 1. don't come with standoffish appearance 2. never mention the price 3. get yourself out there and meet new people 4. You need passion 5. There's no method, just do it 6. Everyone's human and everyone makes mistakes
how much for you to spark note long texts
I feel like it’s easier to handle all the rejection he received because he had someone there to support him in his ups and downs and just joke about the rejections
Kalvin Hernandez photography business is the tough one and requires lots of upfront costs for gear to begin with. It’s not appropriate for broke unemployed folks to begin with
Dude, this is one of the best photography videos I've seen. Photography hustle. I love that you showed the rejections, that's important. And I loved how you talked about stuff you learned at the end. Seriously, one of the best videos I've seen.
Michael Seneschal appreciate the support brother 😁🙏
"We have our own marketing division"... one dude who posts stuff basically haha.
Lmao
I get that from time to time. Makes me want to say "Oh really....I couldn't tell." lol
Thomas Gurchiek
Yeah. Sometimes it’s REALLY BAD.
LOL, right
It’s probably his daughter that runs his IG.
It takes BALLS to get out and do what you did. I have held off just walking around asking, for a while. Thanks for the video and push to wanna be more driven.
bro you straight up have to send it hahah the more you think about it the less likely you will do it. this weekend, don't tell anyone what you're doing and go into 20cafes (and make sure its 20+) don't just walk into 2 and giveup. this is a numbers game. the more places you go into the better you will get at selling your service. over the next few weeks if you walk into 100+ cafes/restaurants you will be a fucking beast bro hahah good luck man DM me on insta if you got any more questions! I will see your message
@@NorthBorders Thanks for the MOTIVATION!!! Keep the videos coming!!!!!
Quick tip: just print yourself some business cards, this is really not expensive and it would be much more professional. Also they have the option to call you if they need you
Hannes I avoid giving out business cards. Get their cell number and call them. Have them save your contact info on their phone.
" No Passion, No Money" I like that.
Mad respect G, not a generic video where you just talk and say “this is how you can make money” but you actually went out there and did it, showed photographers that it’s not hard also not easy to make money doing photography
This was actually really transparent and rad to watch! I'm not a photographer, but I work on commission being in the real estate world so I get the rejection for sure. Inspired me to start making videos that document the process and hustle! Keep it up dude!
Revisiting this 3 years later, this video legit spurred me to hit up all my local businesses 3 years ago - found clients and still benefiting from referrals now. Legit one of the most impactful videos on making money with freelance work I've seen.
Rule #1 : Never accept a no on the first spot.
Rule #2 : Ask them why till you get the real answer.
Advice #1 : Use your story and background to add authenticity to your pitch.
Advice #2 : Get referals (mentionned in the video).
Advice #3 : Prepare a counter argument to a potential ''NO'' (If you don't see any customer inside or just a little, check on google maps first, check Tripadvisor and so on...).
And apparently, get cards made.
@@mountaindew267 I don't think any of them planned on calling them back even if they had left a card - it was probably just to get them to go away without further conversation like 'why don't you want the photos' etc.
Also I think they could have benefited by having an icebreaker, or staying inside for a while, so the workers don't think they are being sold something. People say "No I'm good" for stuff they have no idea what it is.
I don’t think I would appreciate if you ask me why I refused your services. If I don’t tell you a reason, that’s probably because I don’t want to give you a reason. But that’s just my take on it. To each their own.
Most people that ask why you refuse their service, is always a sign of a hustler. Not someone I would want to trust. Do different approaches rather than outright asking. Talk with them. Buy a coffee first. Show your skills. But don't ask, "Uhm why say no?"
This is badass....I only came across this because I am a Freelance writer, writing over 100+ descriptions about photographers on RUclips for my client. So far this is my favorite one bc they legit just went out, didn't give up and still ended up making some money! Talk about the motivation to make connections! Yasss! BTW thanks for sharing the name of the song...it was bangin'!
And at 9:21pm on 19th June 2019 this Cafe has already had 28k pairs of eyes...$150 very well spent!
heres a question though. do you know what the cafe is, where it is?
MrPhantomShade le Clec, 727 Glenferrie Rd
Hawthorn VIC 3122. It’s called google.. 😉
@@pablohirigoyen4558 you won man ahhaha
Not even lying here, I made a list of local businesses I want to call/speak with about freelance work (before watching your video). Found this video at the PERFECT time. I feel much more confident now thanks to this. Wish me luck :/
This is incredible love all the advice
Hi Kon
Try out FROZ ENP A. C 0 M
Hi kon
Big up Kon
Here's a tip: Come in with a portfolio ready to view. This doesn't have to be printed. You can have a gallery ready on a tablet so you can show them. I also noticed a few asked for your business card and you didn't have one. Directing people to IG is awkward. You can have business cards printed with your email, phone, and IG handle on them for like $10 for 500, maybe even less. Having business cards makes you look more professional and established.Good job on getting out there and building connections.
as much photography as he has done at the point the vid came out, he shoulda spent 50-100 (or less) and get a photos printed and physical portfolio ready. having something for the client to hold and touch while looking at your shit makes a world of difference. and def biz cards like you said
Mike - bro this is so sick - such a good idea man. And for everyone thinking of doing this - once you've done one successful shoot you can literally go to other cafes and say - "XYZ cafe already hired me and when they posted the photos they got double the amount of likes they usually get and X more followers in a week - and I can do that for you too". Prospects love hearing the success you brought for other clients and makes them way more inclined to hire you / value your work.
Exactly right man! even walk in with a laminated piece of paper of your photos and what you're capable of1
“No passion no money”. I love that. That is so totally true.
This is the shit right here! I respect you guys for doing this the Old skool way and showing people how it's done. I did the same thing online. It's even easier to reach more businesses, but also a bit harder to get them to say yes on the actual same day! Tons of people can learn from this video. Keep them coming! 🔥 I subbed!
Awesome! So true about investing in the connections. A couple of months ago I had no connections, and now I just shot a $1.8m property, on my channel too. Thanks again for a down to earth vid!
You should definitely make an awesome business card to hand to people with your information on it. Doesn't have to be super formal, just something to quickly give them all your info!
Perfect example of no matter how many times your told no, you going to get a yes. Grind dont stop!!
Here with "No Views" before notifications fire
Awesome vid btw. If you do the math - if you manage to hit up 5 cafes a week, by the end of the month you've made 3 grand and payed your camera back. Great way for beginners to make some cash and get some connections
Yo thanks for the support man!
And you're right bro the amount of people you can meet is ridiculous, and don't just stop a cafe's... Bars/clubs, used car dealerships, startup retail stores/clothing brands, etc, these places all need photos done! Money is just a bi-product of your hard work. As long as you're passionate about taking photos you have no limit.
I know EXACTLY what it feels like to go door to door to businesses, getting rejected time after time. It was all worth it when I got that single yes late in the day that turned into a 2 month video project. This helped me relive those days. Awesome awesome video. New sub.
Do videography for the clients as well coz your vid skillz are on point too mate. Keep up the great work!
So many people talk about how to make money and they make it look easy. You got rejected and it was real. Great job. Please keep it real and continue the good work.
Gotta love vids like this because when you go out and do it on your own, it's so easy to think 'fuck it' by like Cafe #5 or think youre doing something wrong but watching this is just a big reminder that youre doing the right thing and its just finding a business that clicks with you on that. Reminds you to enjoy it and not let the rejections get you down because they happen to everyone! Also 150 from one shoot is more than id make on a 10 hour shift in retail so thats well worth the time investment!
This is so different to other photography videos. You know, actually going outside and doing stuff instead of someone sitting in their basement talking at the camera. Love it!
People always talk about how to make money but you guys just launched it haha😂 really inspiring to actually see people doing it cheers mate✌🏻
Gotta love the small shop owners who appreciate hustle and entrepreneurship. That owner with the car knows how to succeed and pass on success.
This is what I needed to see. First weekend off in a while and I’ll be pushing out my photography woohoo!
How did it go?
Miguel Afonso not successful, a few “we will call you” “no thanks” but the occasional browse and snaps here and there
This is a great video. Aside from the good editing and music, I love that you guys didn't make it some theoretical video about how to go out and do it, but you filmed yourselves going out, getting rejected time and time again, and then having the actual discussions with different managers about it. Well done and keep on the grind!
i really liked the concept of the video , i think this should become a series :)
I admire your mindset and courage to enter so many businesses and get rejected. Although if you entered with a printed portfolio your job woukd be much easier. I only get rejected due to cost. Also print some damn business cars. It looks proffessional and not like some random dude with a camera!
Ideal scenario, call manager, ask for 2 minutes of his time to look over some photos. Go through your photos highlighting the advaantages of said images and that they are necessary for this day and age. Then you go from there! Done!
More of this! Love this type of content, super valuable for someone getting into professional photography 👍👍
Maybe you don't see this comment men, but i need to tank you, i saw this video time ago and i was in bad bad time. Before watch you walking in every cafe inspired me and now i'm monthly working for a coffee shop. Thanks men for everything
Niiice 127k In a week. Keep it up dude
So many lessons in a 7 minute video. I don’t know who you guys are but I’m subbing because this video is straight facts.
I love how mike was acting normal for once. The eggplant got switched off as soon as he went inside. 😂
AHAH
You are an actual legend mike. No wonder your channel is growing so fking fast.
Yoooo!! This is a banger video! Swear I’m going to try this next weekend!
I like this a lot because it was raw & it was real & it’s exactly what you can expect in the real world of photography & marketing. Something a lot of new photographers need to see & know.
I appreciate the grind bro. I’ll be doing this soon with the 1,000s of restaurants here in California 🔥😎
Solid video! Loved the full transparency of it! I just started my business and got a client this way! Went in one day to get coffee and brought my camera and liked the vibe of the shop and snapped a few photos as a reg customer. I shared them on IG and tagged the shop and they reached out!
Will def utilize this tactic to reach out to other shops/brands in the area! Cheers from Texas!
I really love that video. It's the type of video I've been waiting for so long, thanks man
I LOVE this video! I have seen comments here thinking and saying the same thing I am. You see all these videos of people says "you can make $1,000,000,000,000 taking photos" and the video not showing nothing. This is raw and 100% how life goes! You are going to have to work and take losses. If you got passion then you got something going on for you, and a possibility to make money! GREAT VIDEO! #Fire #Passion #WorkHard #MakeMoney
This is more a Networking tutorial. Which is way better than doing one off money ;D
You should do a second one!
What great idea. And you could do this not just with cafes, but you could hit up all the small businesses in an area. Thanks for putting yourself out there for the rest of us, and showing up how to do it!
bruh u killing youtube and thanks for the tips to make money i really appreciate it..
aye thanks bro and you're welcome man! Good luck
Bang on... good vibes from toronto. Any business, if you got passion, u know ur shit, u gotta prospect, get rejected, and then make a sale, and a relationship. Follow up with these clients, you never know what else you will land from one client. Big Sales Mantra: People buy from People they trust!
Great job! $150 and you didnt get your hands dirty!! This is by NO WAY a critisisim but you could get a lot more people to say yes if you change your questions..
Hey man! I absolutley love your videos and would love to help out with how you approach those café’s.
Here are a few tips:
1. Don’t give up if they say no, ask them why are they thinking the way they do because you want to know, then you can maybe work out a solution.
For example they say they don’t have social media. Then you say that it would increase their numbers especially if the social media and website photos looks professional and that they are missing out if they don’t take this opportunity.
2. Show your portfolio and show how much your photos increased the businesses numbers you helped.
3. Show your instagram and your youtube channel. That fact that you teach people photography and yo’ve been able to build up a pretty big audiance is pretty cool for any business owner. You will gain trust aswell.
4. Show them how you are different from other/the most photographers and why should they take the opportunity and what they are missing out if not.
"only made 150 dollars in 1,5 hours" im happy with 1 dollar lmao
i love how you actually included the ones you get rejected just to prove to everyone that shit will happen at the beginning, but hopefully shit will turn great
Your awesome bro keep it up❤️
love ya man
Hey thank you! Instead of talking about how to make money. You actually go out of your way to do it in person! Good on you!
Respect the hustle! Great video!
I watched one of your videos for the first time yesterday. It popped up on the related videos area. My first thought was "Are the F-Bombs really necessary?" But I kept watching anyway and I'm glad I did. You don't just tell people how to make money. You actually go out and do it. And you record it. Rejections and all. I've never seen anybody do that. And you also show your price negotiations which is really helpful for someone like me who has trouble figuring out how much to charge for these services. Great videos.
Hayden: Hey! What is going on
Mike: Hey! Wtf is going on
This is what a hustler looks like. Super inspiring
It would be dope if you could give some tips on product photography. Love the vids man 🔥
Man, that's exactly what I did when I moved to New York for a year and needed to make extra money. Just walked in everywhere and asked if they needed photos of their coffee's and food. I ended up making some great connections, and also ended up shooting for 2 clothing lines in a studio where they paid me some real good money. You just gotta hustle everyday. Great video bro.
Really nice idea. Keep up the good work
This video is so good, teaching people how to make it by actually doing it. Just great. I feel you can make more by knowing how to sell yourself. Don't just ask them "I was wondering if you guys would be needing some photos for your instagram..." instead let know the benefits they'll have if they accept and the great perspective people will take on it when found online. Don't make it feel generic, make it feel like you really want to let people know about them sharing kinda like a personal 'experience' too. Instead you can say something like
"Last time I was coming from a long day, came accross this coffee shop and ordered a cappuccino. I really enjoyed it you know. My [friend, roommate, etc.] and I have been ordering almost every weekend ever since and we've been getting it just on point every time! Last time I had the chance to have my coffee at this actual place and i just really like the experience you guys give to people. I gave you guys a check online and realized it's not telling others the cool you're you know. Some fresh sweet [26.2MP, 35MP, you can decide to tell MP] pro photos can really get those online searches find you quicker you know. Specially when nowadays everyone searches online ofc. We are actually photographers/filmographers, we provide with professional photos to restaurants, coffee shops, turistic places, etc. and give them a really good price. These are some of our previous shots in previous occassions [make sure you show some good samples downloaded in your phone not placed in your cloud to avoid data reception failures. You can even make like a follow and let them know the sales on those places have increased by an specific percentage or number]. So right now, we have a promotion going on to help coffee shops like this stand out; 30-40 photos for $250 however for this promo it's at $150 (notice to mention the good quality work they'll be able to use anytime, anywhere, and with no expiration) [you can even build like bundles including probably a nice 20sec video and discount for next requests like seasonal shots or just more shots if and only if they call you after 1 month only for example.] If it's ok for you lemme take 3 trial pics and show you how they look [take 3 photos and with some examples in your phone show how it can be looking after post-processing]. So if you got time right now we're ready to let people know more about you."
Not this specific script but something like THIS can rrrrrreeaaalllyyyyy change someone's mind instead of a "So do you guys want some photos for your facebook, instagram..." If done correctly, it can show great results. 💯
"Ready to get rejected a lot of times" = Me on tinder 😋
Passion is literally the key to everything.
Great video topic.
Interesting that there wasn't any extra lighting or a reflector ready.
Ken’s PAD - photo audio digital probably why they shot it outside
This is one of the honest realistic video I have see every on you tube!! Thanks guys 😉
Bruhh, shoulda dropped business cards when you were there
It’s always about the relationships. Love your hustle! Keep rocking!
2 Hours work, 150bucks....i would be so out of my mind 😂
I love this video bc you showed yourself actually going out and doing it. No other video I’ve come across has shown the rejection part of the job. Thanks for this man
Early Notification gang
I love this guys! Love it when people hustle and make it happen for themselves instead of sitting around hoping for things to happen 🤘🏼
Thanks for the advice 👌 but what lens do you use to shoot cafe photo?
Big aperture like 2.8 and 16 -35 mm or 24 70mm is cool ! but you can do it with 50 mm 1.8 or 35mm 1.8 its really nice too !
@@hugo_cmt Thanks I appreciate👍
cool guys!! I have just run into your videos by the youtube algorithm or whatever and find your videos very motivating... I watch this about coffee shops and the one about car dealerships. How about if you make one about real estate and architectural photography?? or hotels??? that would be so cool!!
2:33 made me laugh so hard 😂😂
I did this before once and I stopped asking shops after about about 20 no's that day. I think one thing that helped him was he brought his camera in with him! I might have to try that next time
Any other filmmakers/ photographers interested in supporting each other's vids?
I haven't gotten my channel actually started yet for posting. But I love abandoned places so I subbed immediately lol
beckertastic appreciate it 😂 subbed back, can’t wait to see what you create
Bro your work is amazing cause you dont keep on only how to take a good pic or use the gear, you are teaching to the guys like me that are starting in this world to create opportunities, congrats, only an advice, in the firsts stores, you say they dont know the potential of a good photo for their social media pages, i know thats part of the vblog, but maybe a good thing to show is the importance of show the potential client that. Hugs from Argentina, continue for that way!
Notif gang 🍆🍆🍆
Bro, love that pasión you guys have for photography, like you said is not about the money ..but the connections..inspired to go out there again...thanks .
I just to go place to place to help small businesses to join a website, so the community will know about them. But did not work out and I gave up...
Dude, if I was the cafe owner ; I’d be mega happy with those snaps ! I worked in hospitality for years . I think the real cost of a cup of coffee was around 30-40c .. the guy paying you guys $150 if it’s a busy cafe ain’t shit for him .. this post was mega dope . There are so many places that close down in Melbourne because they’re run by out of touch people . They have no idea the power of social media . That one chicks like ; we don’t have Facey ! 😂 bankrupt in 3 months ! It’s shit to say but that bitch needed some Northborders more than she even knew . ✌🏼ya Ill c👻nts
hahah cafe's and food industry can be hard but the good thing for us photographers is that any industry is our industry. We can legit make money anywhere we go. And social media is probably one of the most important things nowdays other than word of mouth and having a good product for a reasonable price.

Mate I rarely like videos but damn I’ve seen 3 of your videos and had to like them because they’re so much knowledge and it’s just genuinely good content. Cheers mate!
Gets rejected 9 times....Tenth time hits 2 birds with one stone. Presistence is key
I truly enjoyed this video because it showed the true grind of hustle. They guys went out and straight-up asked people without fear of rejection. I wish there were more videos like this rather than just people saying they did it...Show the work.
Out of curiosity did you spend a long time editing, colour correcting?
Awesome work guys :) Love seeing the opportunities around Melbourne to those who know the value of high quality photography
