How to Start a PHOTOGRAPHY Business in 2024

[ElMeach]

Wtf? I wanted some tips about how to be successful as a photographer and you gave me a guideline on how to build a business from what I love doing. Also you don't mess around, you went straight to the point. Thanks man.

There is some sage advice in this video. I picked up a camera twenty-five years ago and started shooting professionally (portraits) in the last five - all while maintaining a full-time career. Taken in steps and with moderation - you can and will succeed.

That is one of the very transparent speech, on photography I have ever watched, thanks to you Mr.Kevin Raposo...keep up the good work and stay happy.

[Tiger-gzyn]

Yes, you're right. People shouldn't be dropping their regular job to focus on photography. Nowadays, cameras are affordable to anyone and the competition is just too high to succeed fast.

9:15 Can confirm, I've been on this earth over half a century and I've seen a lot of people that most would consider very successful that have very good paying jobs, own a nice property, drive a nice late model car and have all the intelligence and imagination of a common house cat. But they are motivated, dedicated, and persistent and they suit up and show up when it's required.

I have recently been on a youtube photography channel binge. You are the best so far. You are quick, concise, and informative. Thank you for your fill agent work. Your work ethic bought you a new subscriber 👍

Thanks! I liked this video and the conclusion about the "passive participant" quote. I have had this problem forever about pushing back because this or that was not perfect. Now I constantly remind myself that "done is better than perfect". After 10 years of practicing photography as a hobby, I have become professional (as a side job first because it is possible to register officially and have a day to day job here). Allows me to grow this business at my own pace with less pressure.

I’m glad you decided to create this video. I’ve been wanting to take big steps to add that pressure to myself, so that I’d finally turn this into an actual business, but felt like I was aiming too high and doing it backwards. For me it’s a total ADHD thing. If I don’t have that pressure then I’ll never get around to it. Need the fire under my butt. Anyways, I’m glad you suggested it because I feel more validated in my plans. Thanks again.

This is the best youtube tutorial i have ever encountered.

[freihy]

Genuinely needed this. I'm currently working a software job and always question if I made the right choice to take photography as a side hustle rather than make it my everything.

I’m beginning my journey into photography and this video was amazing. Thanks for the grounded advice and burst of inspiration!

2:47 I think that all camera brands are great...it's just what suits you and your style, that matters.

HAHAHAHAHAHHHAA lolled hard at "nah this isn't sponsored by squarespace" part. Cheeky humour, great editing choice

[nicolepeterson]

this is the video ive been looking for! thank you this helps soooo much. i had no idea where to begin!

[sanjay]

Wow, that was a roller coaster pep talk session. You speak so well, so to the point, that I can't feel relieved enough for how well you've made this video. I keep pointing out to other youtubers to keep their videos short & to the point. They should learn from you. And anytime I need to lift up my mood and get the blood and adrenalin rushing around inside me, I'll watch your video. That is how effective it is.

[annawiman]

One of the best videos I‘ve seen here! Thanks for the straight and crispy infos!

[flaashj]

Straight to the point. Love the video.
My only problem is getting consistent clients and a lot of clients here are super cheap here compared to everywhere else

[simarettienterprises]

Thank You Kevin.
Great content.
You earned yourself a new subscriber!

1:14, as you said initially, find your niche. But in case one has an interest in portraits, street photography, landscape, like travelling and taking photos and at home like to learn nuances and do photography of still life and products. Then, what should one do? What you will suggest!!

I arrived here from grace torres channel. I am a web developer webdesigner for photographers, so it's nice to see your channel
