Hi Luke, I’m turning 55 this year and I’m returning to wedding photography as it is my passion. I started in early 90s shooting medium format and 35 mm. I was away from photography due to medical reasons but last year I was able to shoot 8 weddings and this 2024 I’m ready to do what I always love to do. Document weddings through my camera. Keep up with your good work Luke.

Thank you so much for sharing so generously, what you are saying here is a life lesson and it is really easy to understand why clients feel relaxed in your company.

I wonder which photographer you met at the conference!! Would love to follow her work. But also I love binge watching all your videos as I edit :)

I found your page a couple of days ago and I find your content so incredibly helpful and encouraging. So much of it resonated with me. One of the hardest parts of being a photographer for me is how competitive, and then unkind- photographers have been to me through out my career. I meet people expecting the kind, friendly faces I see on their pages and then in person they are very different. It's been discouraging & lonely. I've been burned so many times, watching this video made me feel less alone. Thank you.

Hey Luke! I've also seen a lot of successful jerk photographers. I think ego is one of the curses around the whole photography industry itself. I mean, not only weddings, but other genres too. I know also I don't want to be like them. As that lady photographer you met, I want my business to be abundant and generous in the inside and the outside as well. Maybe this sound too "utopia"-y but it's how I feel about it. What you give it's gonna be returned to you twice or more. It's simple karma. Being a rockstar photographer maybe is cool and everything, but that shouldn’t make you change as a person. At the end, most of the photographer out there come from nothing. Humility should be one of the most important soft skills for anyone aspiring to be a photographer in my own opinion.

Really great thoughts here. And no I totally agree, I love what you said - humility should be a skill everyone should learn and continue to use!! I was just talking to a very successful tech CEO, and he said a lot of arrogant, jerks can be successful, but in his experience the MOST successful, are humble and generous. Thanks for watching, and for sharing your thoughts!

Just stumbled across your channel a few days ago, and this video was just what I needed to hear. I am in those early stages of my business, and your advice really connected with me. I love what you said about not wanting to be a jerk and about advertising. So thank you!!

Very interesting share, I'm in international wire service, nevertheless, I fully sympathise with your own experience as a Pro, and how you feel about the industry you're involved in. You have shared your honest opinion with your peers.

@BoxingTunes 3 месяца назад

Great video! Thanks for all the honest advice. How would you suggest ways to build a portfolio if the option of friends getting married isn’t there?

@zakcole2229 4 месяца назад

So good Luke. Hugely helpful me as I begin my journey as a professional photographer and videographer here in Hamburg. I’m a Kiwi who met a German girl…

@lukewtcleland 4 месяца назад

Awesome! Exciting journey!

@julierings4882 10 месяцев назад

Hey Luke. I saw your interior photography on your website and would be so curious how you managed lighting in different interior situations. Maybe a future video?

@lukewtcleland 9 месяцев назад

Hey! I've thought about doing a video on that for sure. I've also though about putting more extensive work into that and making a course about it. It's something I really enjoy doing, and there's lots in that topic!

@lukewtcleland 9 месяцев назад
