i don’t understand shit fu.k acent
Was quite a thrill when I told my first paying client that I’d charge $100
ph and we should meet, so they can review my portfolio, before they hire
me. That was a wedding shoot. The couple looked through my images and
accepted the $100 without flinching. Made me feel really good. My training?
Mainly YouTube videos by Matt Granger, Jared Polin, Dom Bower and hours and
hours of shooting and reviewing the images on the computer…
Thanks so much,it is help me so much …
Thanks, it was useful for me !
He’s got some pretty good ideas no doubt.
Hi Sir ,
Iam from India and i wan to work with u can u please allow me to join in ur
team?
Great vid, thanks man! And love the T-shirt! Dutch here! ;)
Why does the shirt say “don’t forget eat frico” in duch?
@deceptikhon haha, nope
thank you!
Of course that explains the shallow DOF with him always in focus despite
the movement…
Matt, thank you for your channel! Videos are really inspiring )) I’m going
to sell art prints and have a question: when you want to print your art
work in a photo lab, you never send them the digital files, right? You come
to the lab, wait till it’s printed and ask them to delete the copy? Or may
be you sign “confidentiality agreement” with photo lab and send the files?
I live in Ukraine and this niche is quite new, there’s nobody to ask for
advice. I’ll be very thankful for tips!
If you’re having to make a living out of it full time then you have to
account for the cost of living, otherwise you should just keep it as a
hobby. That’s the point Matt is making. Also one thing he sort of missed:
When you take a job like a wedding. You have to make sure everything works.
You probably need backup gear as well. Because that wedding happens only
once and if anything goes wrong you have to be ready for it. The liability
of messing up is also there.
Damn good advise.
nah, aussie
I normally do price discriminiation. 3 packages for 3 types of client
group. This way I don’t trash the market because my cheapest package is
simply not the same product as the more expensive package competitors are
offering. It would require less work from me and they get what they pay for.
Of course not for a wedding or major event, it’s just when people have
hundreds of descent pictures of their kids, spouse or who ever, I think
people are less likely to pay for as many pro shoots.
not sure sorry – Uniglo I think
Your background is so pretty
Good job Dutchie ! Groetjes !
is 20-25 for 8×10’s an alright price?
haha ik zie het nu pas lol
You do the best videos by far. To the point, and I love it.
First and foremost, you really need to be looking at simple things, like
your profile icon as an example. You may have spent well over 10,000, but
gear doesn’t make the photographer, as I’m very sure Matt will agree –
personal image and networking is key. Having a “flip-off-nuke” screams
amateur, juvinile, and most importantly, NOT professional.
you seem offended?
