- Happy Friday Guys! 😊
Today I finally have another Freelance Friday video for you all!
In this video, we're going to talk about the do's and don'ts of running your own photography business, and some specific photography business tips for beginners.
It can be quite difficult to find out how to run a successful photography business, and sometimes you don't even know that you may be making mistakes along the way! I know I've certainly had times in my career where I have done the mentioned "don'ts" and hopefully if any of you are finding yourselves in these traps, this video may be beneficial! 😊

Amazing video thanks so much 🙏🏾
Thanks for the advice. Great video.
Always happy to see your videos
Thanks Sara! :)
I’m loving the videos coming in!!!!!
Thank you! 😊
Great video though was kinda hoping for a little bit more advanced tips and specific do's and don'ts, perhaps more about standing out of the competition and marketing yourself, you know? This is more for beginners that havent begun if that makes sense. thank you though for repeating great points that everyone in the industy should know!! Love your work :)
I love these tips! Bought the ebook right away :) thank you
Thanks Lisa! Glad to hear the tips were helpful 😊
Dope!
Great video really interesting 😊👍
Thanks for watching! ☺
Can you go more in depth on the dos. Like how to do such things like pitching
love your work so here I am :p
Hehe, thanks so much! :)
well said this is such an "ePIC" talk regarding on running a photography business! LOL :P keep it up! 🙏
when I'm older I'd like to be a commercial photographer specifically product dont mind me asking got a passion for fashion! LOL :P what is the brand of your top? let me know
Great video ! As an amateur fashion photographer, Ive been learning a lot from your channel ! So thank you so much !
Aw that means a lot! Thank you so much for watching! ☺
There's certainly a lot more to learn! The learning curve is very steep and one might feel they're at the top after climbing 10% of the way up.
Agreed 100% 😁😁
Loving the Audio and Lighting!!
Thanks so much! ☺
Also is it necessary to go to college for photography?
Im struggling so hard to get booked. Im pitching to so many people every day and making great concept PDF files, i just get told they've just done a shoot, cant work with me because of where Im based, or just only want to do free work. Ive been trying for MONTHS and only get nos and i feel like im not getting anywhere but im doing everything everyone says to do
Where are you based ?
thx for .....
Do you have a recommendation regarding contracts with companies? I'm completely confused with this topic 😅 Do companies have a contract or do I need one? If I need one what's important to clarify etc?
Oooh this is always a tricky question! I'm always a little bit hesitant to offer advice on contracts as I usually recommend that every freelancer find a solicitor or seek legal advice for their businesses. However before I signed with my agency I'd usually have something in place in terms of payment or what was specified in the brief/job outline. It can be very different for every job that you do though, so I'd recommend seeking personalised advice 😀
So how can I do this. I want to do portraits, product, food and nature photography. Do I need a separate Facebook page for all 4 genres? This is why I wish I knew someone to talk to.
putting a dislike to her videos is pure witchcraft. keep it real
🙂
**Hears first tip
Welp, I’ll just see myself out now. 😂
Need to start pitching, something I hardly ever do 🤦🏾♂️
You won't regret it, I guarantee! 😁
Do not build up equipment TOO fast, but you will need most of it down the road. Do not underestimate the power of a white piece of paper to bounce light. DIY everything until you can afford the actual object! Expect crickets for the first few years unless you are already rich, and are a socialite.
