I hope you know that videos you posted 3 years ago are still helping people. This video is amazing. I can't tell you how many times I have said "Nah, I can't do a paid gig. I'm too new, too inexperienced, too whatever...". You're so right. You have to just go for it. Thank you Joanie!
I so appreciate you being kind to your beginner self. I've watched these kinds of videos and thought, "wow that looks like what I do now" and feel crappy when they make fun of it or rip it to shreds.
Thank you for being kind.
I'm so amazed how I've just stop by on your channel because of a RUclips recommendation and you've just said exactly what I needed to hear! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and encouragement!
Very candid, honest, and encouraging content! Wonderful tips... Truly appreciate your channel and thanks so much for all of the helpful links, I'm diving in right now. Be well, stay encouraged, and an Encourager!
I absolutely adore your understanding that everyone starts somewhere, I can really see that you have nourished and honed your skills with care to grow organically like a little tomato plant.
I love the tone of your content / your self talk / encouraging spirit. I'm learning to be more kind to myself. Thanks for your time and energy making great content like this.
I appreciate how encouraging and kind you are to yourself!
Great information, thank you! I've done a few paid gigs knowing nothing.I'm now assisting a pro photographer who had a production company for 27 years and learning a TON every shoot. Lighting is one of my responsibilities on shoots and I have no background or real understanding about lighting other than natural light. I learn more every time we go on a shoot. We're doing a big project shooting environmental portraits ... so much FUN and a lot of work. I'm so happy to have found you!
Keep on rockin' it!
Joanie, you are a true inspiration for beginners and people who intend to persue this as a profession. Love the way you cover each topic and don't make people feel lonely or embarrassed for not knowing what they don't know. You are absolutely "The Best". Thank you for taking timing to cover such important topics and the other food photography related content. Your images rock!
My first wedding photo gig I used the kit lens on my SL2. Don't despise your small beginnings :-)
Awesome! Loved it! It has given me some more confidence. Thank you so much and lots of love 💛
I am a person who just love taking photos of foods and the table with dishes, and this video is so touching and I am so grateful for you to cheering people (including me) up. I have not thought about being a pro even though I own quite decent gears because I have been thinking 'being a pro' needs to be something more special and outstanding in the start-line. Your video gives me hope! Thank you :)
What a great video Joanie! Always appreciate your honesty and positivity!!! ❤️
Oh my! I love you! So much honesty and passion!
I really appreciate and admire your honesty about your own work and learning experience. Too many artists want to tear into each other during a critique because at some point in their own career it happened to them and it was called a critique. The fact is critiquing is also an art form and not done properly it can stunt an artist growth.
Thanks so much for all this great information. Trying to decide if this path is right for me and your videos are great at providing real world info. Really helps me get a feel for what I would need to consider. Can't wait to watch some more of your videos and check out some of your resources.
Love that you showed this and even more impressed that you talked about how and what you've done to get better. We seem to be so into point and shoot and click a preset these days that to see someone actually make the effort to become better technically is fantastic!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've been battling with the "voices" in my head about my first paid gig and You've just helped me shut them down!
This video was perfect timing for today! Awesome!
I have JUST started my business this week and this was SO needed. I do headshots and portraiture and it is TERRIFYING to feel like you don't know everything yet still are handing out contracts and charging booking fees and being official! Your video had me cracking up in places because man... do I know those feelings! I had been holding back for so long, thinking I needed to know way more than I knew... my first two headshot clients actually got me onto the recommended photographer list for the top acting agency in town. I literally cried when I got that news because the voices in my head, man... it was validation, and so is this video. I have a TON to learn, but had to trust that I actually know enough because at the end of the day, when people see my images, they're delighted. Me? Still shocked to know people can be delighted with what I do. Ha ha ha! Thank you for the great video and the wonderful encouragement to those of us out here just putting on the wings.
HI, Your videos are so much fun to watch and learn. They are so so crisp, coming straight from the heart.
Simple awesome and full of Life.
OMG, I really love your videos. Thanks for all the help you have given to us. You are so inspiring
Your videos are spectacular, along with your portfolio. Thank you for sharing your experiences for free. Very helpful.
I love this video so much. I watched it a few years ago and am revisiting. I love your advice of taking the leap.
I love your videos! Entertaining and I learn so much!! Thanks :)
You have come a long way Joanie! It's really an inspiration for others who follow your steps....! Thank you
Thank you so much!
Thanks for being transparent and showing the success you had despite errors you now identify. Your critique definitely has generated a personal checklist for me when planning a shoot. Thank you for the references to resources.
Going to a job interview tomorrow for a social media job that also requires to take photos of food, and I'm so glad I got to watch your videos. Thank you for being so encouraging!
Thank you so much for this video! Seriously so helpful. I'm currently in that stage you described as having those voices in my head that are keeping me on the fence about valuing my work more and starting to charge for my photography. This video definitely gave me a push in the right direction and I greatly appreciate it! :)
Jump in!! You got this!
I'm astounded with the progress you've made in three years. Dang! You give me hope.
Hustle 📸
wow so much value! Love your energy.
Loved hearing your insight. Thanks for taking the time to make the video!
You inspire me so much! Keep em' videos coming. I love the entire work and the whole you.
You’re amazing. This was really reassuring. I’ve been feeling like I’m not super knowledgeable/seasoned enough to charge. So I’ve been doing a lot of free work..but I feel like I should branch out. Thank youuu!
Great video, Joanie!! Thank you.
Thank you so much for your videos they're very educational and inspiring at the same time. You're a godsend.
The most useful and motivationel video about photography that I've ever seen on youtube! Keep up the good work! Thank you!
The folder "raw", that was cute.
Thank you for keeping it real and backing up with examples! Its easy to understand. Thank you again for a great video!
This video is truly valuable and so extremely helpful. You ARE so in my head with thoughts in my head. Very much appreciate sharing your experiences and how to help us.
Thanks sooo much!!
Thank you so much. Love your enthusiasm and energy. You motivated me to get into my hobby
You are literally that one amazing food stylist and photographer I feel I can look up to as a role model!! As a newbie your videos really give me alot of perspective to things that I really didn't about!! Thank you God for you and your amazing channel!! Sending you loads of love from India ❤️
me too
Candid, honest and refreshing. Subbed for that.
Thanks so much, great inspiration for us newbies!
I enjoyed listening to you - love your energy and the sheer joy while you've been speaking about your photos. I am most likely not getting into food photography but still will I have found your video useful and subscribed and see what's up. :)
Very helpful and encouraging. I downloaded the ebook too. Love, love love your videos. Thank you!
Joanie I am impressed by your honesty and openness. And props to your 2015 self for having the guts to take that leap. A great lesson for folks who are just now finding their way.
Gotta start somewhere, right? :)
Wow. What a fascinating insight on how you got started. Thank you for the inspiration to just go and do it.
Thank you so much Joannie for this video !! 🙏 It gives me à lot of motivation and precious advices to start my professional food photographer journey !! 😍
Thank you so much, about the online storage. I really needed this video. Thank you, your knowledge is amazing, and very appreciative.
Love your vids! Thanks for sharing your food photography origins - not everybody would do that with such a charming way! Wish you always good jobs! Cheers form Germany. I definitely stay tuned for your channel!
Bang on exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you RUclips for recommending this video to me. I've now gone ahead and subscribed to your channel. You have a fantastic style that captivated me into the video straight away.
I applaud you for sharing your story, especially your ability and courage in being vulnerable because that takes a lot. I’ve been sober 15 years, I can relate to your story and wish you many more sober years ahead 💜
"You don't know what you don't know" is literally what I've been telling myself since I started wedding planning 😂😂 THANK YOU for such an informative video, and for gifting us your personality!! I really, really appreciate that you don't disown your beginning pictures. Every other photographer I've watched talks badly about their beginning photos and their beginner selves. Thank you for showing yourself some mercy- it's all the more encouraging to us. ❤️
I needed to hear this. Thank you 💕💕💕
Great honest talk! Thanks! Always nice to hear something with the heart.
I love your style of explanation. It is so humble and clear. You’ve got a subscriber! 👍
I love this! I'm just starting on my for-pay gigs, and I feel like you are speaking to where I am at curently. thank you so much, subscribed!
You are incredible! So inspirational, love u!
What a video! Thank for honesty, thanks for pushing forward. Big thumbs up for what you’re doing!👍👍👍🙏
Thank you so much for being such a nice and warm mentor. I got so much energy and hope from this video. I can't thank you enough, I am at the same stage as you are talking about and will love to know more. best of luck for you.
Really nice job providing useful info for those of us still riding with training wheels! Thanks so much for taking the time to share what you've learned.
Your videos are so relaxing and comforting to me when watching. You make me feel calm.
Thank you so much for sharing this video! You have inspired me to start exploring food photography! My first shoot is this week and I'll certainly be keeping your learning experiences in mind. Your channel is amazing! Thank you thank you for producing this content!
We enjoyed this video very much. Thank you for sharing.
I cannot thank you enough for sharing your newbie experiences. It makes me feel better! :)
Thanks so much for making this video! This definitely brings back memories of my first photography gig 😁 I was super nervous but I had so much fun!
i love love love loveeeee your videos!! so much informative!
Super helpful. Joanie you are inspiring.
There are a lot of photography folks out there, some insanely goofy, some condescending, and others just plain boring. You are approachable, down to earth, friendly, informative, and your production quality is top notch. Love this video!
I needed to hear those kind words about not beating myself up and valuing my work, thank you so MUCH for this video
thank you so much for this video! very inspiring!!!
This was so helpful. Thank you. Truly
You are an amazing human
So happy I've found you! Great energy/videos/ thanks :D
Love this video, your jacket and your haircut. The photos were pretty good to be honest , which shows you were serious and passionate.
Awesome! Literally did a gig for free for our friend's wedding, loved taking photo's all day (I think it was 10 hours) and both me and my partner where like... HELL yeah, we are doing this again! and getting paid! (next time). SO we have another potential client lined up, we just need to go to a meeting, so this IS PERFECT CONTENT. Now I know WHAT we will need to pull together when we to the first meeting with the wedding couple... So excited!! Thanks for the extra boost of confidence! Much love from NZ
Great Video. I love the honesty and tips.
Thank you so much Joanie! You're such an inspiration! I quit my corporate job in October, moved to a new city and jumped both feet into photography full time. It's scary and exciting and I believe in myself and my work. Videos like this just further that feeling.
So awesome!! Go get 'em!!!!
Great video! Lots of valuable information
You've got a great eye for editing Joanie! Thanks for sharing!
Love this! Thanks so much!
Thank you so much! This is such a great encouragement!
Amazing, crazy story. Love what you share. So humane ❤
This was great to hear. I'm getting back into hobbyist photography after many years away and the number of photogs (and wannabe photogs) who expect that "EVERYTHING BE DONE THIS WAY OR YOU'RE NOT A REAL PHOTOGRAPHER!" has grown exponentially!
The experience you shared in the first few minutes are very precious, thanks
I had some good chuckles with this video, Joanie. I can relate so much.
This gave me so much hope. Thank you for sharing.
jam-packed full of tips and wisdom. Thank you.
I came for the tips, I stayed for the incredible host. Your personality is fan-tas-tic on camera. An absolute delight to listen to. Awesome!
Holy cow! That “name the file raw” thing had me in stitches! Thank you so much for sharing that, I have done similar things (and still do) but feel so dorky for asking. I am not alone in this crazy food photo biz, haha. It can be so isolating at times. You’re the best, glad I found your channel XOXO
Very informative and awesome video at the same time! Thank you!!!!
You’re such an inspiration 😭💙💙💙🙌🏻 I love you 💋💋💙
Joanie, THANK YOU, this video is very inspirational!!!!
I'm at a crossroads in my life, I love photography and getting paid is certainly something I'd like to try. When I see images produced by people like you, James Popsys, Adam Kappa and others I follow it makes me think paid photography is way outta my league. And yet (with respect) I know more than you did at your first gig, which has given me a confidence boost to go further. Thank you.
This is inspiring! I have been holding back for years because I feel inadequate but this has really helped. Thank you so much for your knowledge, you are awesome!!!
Thank you for this video. This is the stage that I’m at right now in my photography. This weekend I will be taking photos this weekend for a friends event and i am super nervous! But your words have encouraged me to not be scared and just stay focused on what I’m set out to do. Thanks again!😊
You got this! Go get 'em and have fun!
I'm more into portrait and landscape photography but this video really made me feel like I could relate. I came from a Nikon entry level D3400 and it was an amazing camera but the wife decided to surprise me with a Sony Ar7iii which is hands down...WOW. My point, you hit a lot of topics where I know I was thinking one way and my camera decided to shoot another. I come from an IT background but I feel with any career path, you never know it all, you're always learning. I think thats what hit home with me the most, Ive subscribed and not because Im interested in shooting food, personally, I am more a taste tester but I love you ideas and how you relate. I look forward to watching more of your videos to give me the inspiration I need to do what I do. Side note, I'm still anticipating that first paid gig. Not that Im not trying, Im honing my skills more but I think you may have pushed me into the direction of...lets give it a go and Ill do my best and learn from it. Thank you!
I’m actually starting to build a portfolio with my own cocktails, and your videos have opened my eyes so much!
I almost cry. THANK YOUUUUUU
