ADDITIONALLY :P
Link your photography businesses below - I want to check out your work. :)
Critiques are welcome!
I'd love to hear any feedback you might have!
Thanks for the info, it was very helpful. I'm actually about to buy a new camera and I'm wanting to start a photography/videography business.
That logo thing... I definitely need it!
@ericdavismedia
How about a video on how to get photos to start your first portfolio for building your business.
OutdoorJack904 easy steal them from insta
I've been sending my instagram as a portfolio or youtube links.
Go take photos. Of anything. You have friends? Ask them to model. Like buildings? Go take pictures of some neat ones in your city. Go outside in the rain and take pictures off the reflections on the street. Try taking some close-up shots of some small items or insects or whatever. Hope that gives you a few ideas!
I've only been taking pictures of my friends and family and I don't have a website yet because I haven't started charging money yet but my Instagram has built about 50 pictures in a year, which is not a lot for a professional but I'm just starting my journey yet so yeah. My name has been spreading in my town but I still haven't gotten jobs so when I buy my new camera this month I'll start contacting local barbers/pubs/.. so I get my first jobs. Don't be shy to go on multiple shoots with the same friends
Before the E-mail address, before the logo, before an invoicing system and before the business cards you need far more important things.
1: An accountant to handle your taxes, particularly if you(wisely) incorporate to protect your personal assets. Trying to do 'bussiness' taxes yourself is foolish unless 'tax preparer' was your previous job title. Either you'll get audited for incorrect deductions or end over paying by not claiming some.
2: INSURANCE. No ifs ands or buts about it. Nothing can destroy your business quicker than a lawsuit. Whether it's because a light fell on someone or they slipped and fell on a shoot, even screwing up a job(lost the files on the way home?) can get you sued. That leads us to-
3: A lawyer that knows both contract and liability laws. You don't want to be shopping for a lawyer last minute, it generally costs you a lot more.
4: An operational budget. Just because you made $2K on a shoot today doesn't mean you'll do that as often as you need, like or even hope. First and foremost you need to put all of your income at the beginning of the month towards paying your accountant/insurance/lawyer/marketing/web hosting/etc BEFORE you pay yourself. I don't take a penny of income the first week of the month until I've made enough to cover my operational costs.
How many aspiring photographers/creatives or any other entrepreneurial endeavors don't make it a year because they spent money on the business peripherals(logos/cards/website design) and gear rather than the universal things EVERY business needs?
Thank you. I know that he's mentioning all the fun stuff it sounds like but this is what I, and many others here, NEED to hear. I need to seriously consider if I can afford this investment because I know I've got the heart to put into it.
My logo was free, it was made by my girlfriend. So proud of her
Nice! :)
Vince Capino saved a fortune! ...
@@70mjc fiverr u can get logo for like 10
Nice
This is great bro! 👏🏽
Thanks friend! :)
Chris, you seriously are one of the most inspirational content creators/photographers that I've seen. Always love seeing your videos, and wish only the best for you and your business!
Literally the video I needed to see. I’ve been struggling to really get my business fully in motion. I’d say things I wanted to do but I just never do them. I’ve gotten myself so lost on just the process of getting started. I’ve got the gear, I’ve got the time. I just need to do it. I was telling this to myself earlier actually so I’m glad I came across this video right now. I’m going to do it. I’m going to stop procrastinating and just do it. No more fearing the unknown. I’m going to take my chances and accept that nothing needs to be perfect and that failure is a part of the journey to success. If I fail at anytime, I’ll get back up and learn from it and keep on pursuing my passion. (Sorry this is kind of a thing for my self lol) I just gotta put myself on blast and call myself out for holding myself back. I’m going to do it. Im going to fully commit and establish my own media business. It’s something I’ve always wanted. No more excuses. I will become the best I can be in my field and I will learn and grow everyday. I will succeed.
Thanks for the video Chris! And all you do
LOL I love the client impersonations. "lost your invoice" *gasp* Fiverr well spent on that logo.
No Jimmy Bob! Thanks Chris.
Good tips for someone like me who's starting a business, thanks Chris ✌

Thanks for this great video! I really appreciate your energy, enthusiasm, and spot-on targeted subject matter. I will be checking out the sites you mentioned, and I will be using your links! I've just recently been transitioning to working more and more for myself, and I appreciate your help and encouragement (even though you don't know me haha)! It was because of your earlier video I found Blackbox and am now a "card-carrying" member. I appreciate that you gave me a bit of focus on the entire "package" of my business and will be re-visiting this NOW. Thanks again!

Thanks. This one is amazing and super helpful for me 😀😅✨✨
Hey Chris! I’m a big fan! I’ve recently gotten into photography, and started taking it seriously, and I was wondering if you have any good tips for those just starting out? If you see this, thanks for your time 😁
super awesome video man! where did you order your cards from? they indeed look great.
I actually smiled, hahaha. These tips are SO good. I got asked if I had business cards on me the other day, so it's definitely very relevant.
haha YESS! Got you. Glad you see value in it :)
I don't come to Chris for the Info but more for the motivation! Love You brother my energy is strong
AutumnFallCrew why not both my G 🧐
Chris what company did you use for the odd shape business cards? Thanks!
Thanks for the video. My wife and I have been loosely discussing starting a company so this was helpful.
Good luck! You should do it :)
What are your thoughts on going from a hobbyist to creating a business? Love photography, but unsure of how I transition it from a hobby to charging people and making a legit profitable business.
I AM watching this on a Friday! And I'm going to fire up the BBQ tonight! Cheers bruhhhhh
This reminds me, I need to update my business cards. Thanks!
Hello. Please give me an advice...Should I buy the pack Canon 80D with the lens EF-S 18-135 f3.5-5.6 IS USM or Sony A7 II with FE 28-70 f3.5-5.6 OSS?
Thank you very much!
some amazing tips here cheers chris
Great video dude! Super helpful.
Great Video man
Great video with lots of good advice. As someone who gets a lot of business cards the 'unique size' is brutal and is a huge turn off.
The intro was the best. I actually smiled. subscriber as of today...
I learned about these business cards in b school ahahah. Thanks Chris
Nice, great into, thank you.
I thought i'd ask here since you are always so helpful. I am looking to buy a camera in a few months.I was thinking about a new Canon 5D Mark IV but saw a very legit camera store having a used Canon 1dx ii for around the same price. I mostly do runway/studio and I am looking to start weddings. Would the canon 1dx ii used be a smart buy?
Hi Chris! Really love the business side of the video and would love to see more of these, maybe even some for people who are not just starting out? I get all your points and agree with them for someone who is starting out. But being a designer it kind of comes across a bit conflicted for me. When you're talking about a high quality business card, but at the same time are getting a logo done with 50 dollars kind of devalues what a designer can actually do for you and your business. I'm totally with you on the aspect that when you're starting out and don't have a budget you should look at all your options, but there is a reason why brands spend thousands and thousand of dollars for logos.
This is really helpful
Awesome Content! Thanks!
Very informative video bruh!!
That's awesome always wanted to know about logo design's and the reason why you choose a certain logo,
What is the story behind your lion head logo that you use to use in your older video's?
Thnx man... For this piece of knowledge
Dope smile hack! Adding this to my camera bag! 0:20
nice little hau to... good points :)
which camera should first capture this video? i need that camera .
Great Video ⚡
100% on the email address thing. As you said, especially when inquiries come in. Also about the "additionally" thing...been there. Went back to the edit, was like wtf, and pointed it out in the video haha mine was "back and forth"
I've been using Wave for 5 years and love it, it's been amazing for what I need.
What are the rates.
@@libraalibaba I only pay for credit card processing which is pretty standard, 2.9% I believe
great video!! great tips. i appreciate when people we look up to share personal tips instead of just vague basic tips that we already know. also some video suggestions that go along this topic: business video on what SEO is and how to improve it in your business. also at the end when you were semi joking about the algorithm of youtube, you should in depth explain it all on why our thumbs up are important! see ya
Hey Chris! I was wondering where you got your business cards from!!
Thank you!
Can you tell us how you do marketing for companies? Like how do you promote them on different social media platforms?
what website/portfolio creator do you use?
i reeealy liked that video !!!! thanks
Thanks for the content
Hey Chris what website do you use to create your business cards brother?
From the ad pic, i was expecting you to be talking about equipment.....but biz sense is good as well!
I like to think that the idea of know hau media came from my comment back in the day on one of your videos. I’ll never know. But I’ll always take credit 😂
I painted my own logo :) And the previous one, I designed myself. One of the perks of being an artist and designer :D
Please keep doing the business videos,! Very interesting and informative.
Additionally,
Do you think it is better to market yourself as a photographer or videographer... or both
Always wondering this... Like should you niche down in the beginning or go for both just to get you going also you'll learn faster....
awesome video Chris ...where did you get the business cards...
