"Most potential clients don't know the difference between good photos and bad photos, they will read the quality of your work on your price tag"
Amazing insight right there, didn't think of it that way.
PM, it’s so true. And the clients looking for the cheapest price are often the worst ones to work for.
sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the account password. I would love any assistance you can give me!
This is the most useful and honest advice I have ever come across for deciding if and how to go professional. I started and owned an ad agency that by luck was successful enough to support myself and 14 staff for 25 years. The one thing I did differently from Sean’s advice, was after an initial pitch meeting, I called the potential clients every one to two months with a very brief reminder of who I was and what work we had published recently. I repeated the calls until I was told specifically that the client chose not to work with us, or they gave us an opportunity to prove our skill. One client required four years of those calls before giving us a chance, but went on to be our biggest and most appreciative client for the next 20 years. Perseverance and commitment are key, in my experience.
Well written friend.
I'd add the once every couple of months frequency was well judged. I was once on the receiving end of such calls and one photographer rang me, or tried to ring me every single day. After two weeks he'd ruled himself out of ever working with us and sworn at the receptionist in the process.
@@Tom_RUclips_stole_my_handle yup, its all about tact and timing
so many professionals just ignore the power of the "follow up"
Sean Tucker. I have just " discovered " you today and I must confess this channel is the best thing that happened to my Photography journey. Regards from Kenya.
Left the job, got married and Four years into photography as sole career now, yes i am struggling to get any client, in this whole process got only two pay shoots, for a baby portrait and a wedding. Got a family to feed, still depending on my parent to feed my family as I dnt get clients, deep inside I feel ashamed to tell others that I do photography for career. Yet I still say so as i am a photographer. It's almost dying but today you motivated me again. Thank you Sean Tuck, you are into true art of loving photography, look up to you as a mentor, all your video are great lesson and also makes me emotional as a struggling photographer.
As a working photographer, this is incredibly valuable advice (that I wished was around when I was first starting out) great content as always Sean, thank you
Wonderful content, Sean. Back when I was a full time portrait photographer, I was shooting nearly 500 portrait clients and about 25 weddings every year. It is imperative to do photography that your clients want, find flattering, and are willing to exchange money for those images. Sean, you are a portrait photographer at heart. You have the desire to bring out the best in people. That’s the purpose of this channel, and your portrait work. Excellent stuff.
Sean, you provided a very thoughtful and well thought out approach to the key elements in beginning a freelance photography and video career. What differentiates your approach to others that are out there is your deep emphasis on connecting our professional work to our inner life - how we can communicate commercially despite being an introvert - how we must not mistake commercial setbacks or failure with our intrinsic value as a human being. As you rightly say if we have prepared ourselves as well as we can and done our best even if we don’t get the gig we have succeeded anyway by doing our best. We can keep moving and try another day. Well done.
Thanks Roger:)
Lots of good advice here Sean. Can I add one more suggestion? Photographers should look for clients that have an ongoing need for photography, where it’s critical to their business and they understand its value. So your e-commerce product shooting is right on target, where shooting individual headshots is a harder row.
"Don't take it personally and just keep moving." Great insight!
Where did those 25 minutes go? You exemplify the very best of the advice you give, Sean, by making your video an exemplary pitch in and of itself. And your honesty and eloquence are so convincing that you hardly need any images as "proof".
Great work Sean! Thank you!
As always FANTASTIC! Thank you.

Really man !!!! your really very inspiring . This video helps me in many things. Thankyou so much for making.
Thank you. Your honesty is your greatest asset in my eyes. And you take some outstanding photos as well!
After 3 years travelling with a van in South America, we have decided to take a break ( mainly due to the covid19) and start and photography business in a little city of Brasil. Its definitely a tricky time to decide how much to charge, we mainly do real estate photography, and hotel and house owners may decide to not spend much money in photography because of the crisis on the tourism sector. But as your said, investing in good photos means they will sell/rent easier. Thanks for all the tips Sean, and big thanks for all your videos! I am sure you know, but you are helping and cheering up lot of people that love photography! We really appreciate your work! we used to live in London years ago! Who know, one day we go back and we join one of your photography meetings :) cheers mate!
Change my idea of starting photography seriously, thanks mate!🤘🏽
quality content from a quality man! bravo!
Excellent presentation Sean, you have a very calming manner of describing life. Thank you for taking the time.
This vid came at the exact right time for me starting off building my portfolio as an amateur. Awesome as always Sean. Thank you.
This is the best answer to this question. I really appreciate how you answer it.
Best lecture on "photography as a business" that I have EVER watched and heard. If they watch it and take it to heart, you have done alot of amateurs(including me), a great service. Thank you Sean Tucker.
