Tools for growing a photography business
Metamorphosis is the word that comes to mind. John attended an 8 day silent retreat to meditate on his situation brought about by some bad financial decisions, debt and whether to ‘throw in the towel’ with his photography business.
The answer came to him. Stay in the biz. I personally have had similar events in my life, just not as intense as John’s.
I see this all time. And it’s a huge mistake. I think also, it’s human nature.
Example, years ago I knew a lady. Let’s call her Jean, cuz that’s her name.
She sold gold and jewelry, in people’s homes. You know, a home party. Like Tupperware and such.
Someone on Quora ( one of my favorite places) asks: “How can a novice photographer level up?”
I answered:
You need to be more clear first off. What do you mean ‘level up’? I’ll go with get better at photography and answer from there.
My three points to consider:
Last week we had an 1.5 hour powerhouse presentation with Edmonton photographer Robert Bray.
If you joined us you know what I’m talking about. If you didn’t, the highlights and member replay link is below.
I was chatting with Robert Bray yesterday while running a tech test for tonight’s webinar. He, like many of my guests, is a webinar newb.
We set it up and made sure all systems are go vs trying to solve any tech troubles at the last minute.
I also thanked him for offering to join us and talk about his success and struggles as a photographer.
Can you still make money in photography?
Can you “still” make money in photography these days? Asking for a friend.
Some nights haunted for a long time. One night, back when I was 17, was such a night.
I had flashbacks for years.
My friends and I had been partying, drinking and smoking some wicked weed.
