3 years ago you answered my question in a Q&A as to why you’re not gate keeping, glad that mentality hasn’t changed even though SO MUCH has in these three short years. Loved these tips and the lighting, stay warm out there!
"Always be kind, friendly etc, don’t be a jerk, you’re selling yourself" - that’s the best bit of advice anyone can use and it applies to any form of business and life itself. It’ll take you a long way. Great content and advice here - thanks for the post. 🙏🏾
Don‘t be a jerk is the best tip ever! I had contact with a popular landscape photographer in my country and out of nothing he was a jerk to me. Of course he is doing workshops etc. I am not talking shit about people, but if someone asks me I would never ever recommend him. Or book a workshop from him. He has damaged his business without realizing it 🤷🏼♀️
Awesome video, man! I'm not an automotive photographer by any means but I can definitely say that tips #1 and #5 are hugely beneficial to ANY kind of photographer, or entrepreneur in general. It's a long road and if you don't have the passion to get you through the difficult times you'll probably burn out real quick.
Amazing! We have a particular challenge here in Canada that they don’t have in some of the more southern places… it’s called winter! Haha. Slows us down a little but we power through. 👊🏼 Thanks for watching!
Love your work mate, great perspective on the Automotive Photography world. I've watched your channels grow over the last few years and you've really inspired me to make some changes that I know will impact my path going forward within the content creation space. Your engagement with your community is something that stands out to me, willingness to share your insights and overall transparency with just how tough this industry can be. Keep doing what you're doing, I for one can't wait to see where your journey takes you in the years to come. Keep at it brother!
Hey man! Thanks for an intentional comment here. It’s stuff like this that keeps me, and creators like me excited to create content that helps others. I don’t gain much, sometimes nothing from sharing stuff like this other then growing a likeminded community. Just glad to play my part and help someone else along who wants to do what I do. 👊🏼 Excited about this years potential. 🙌🏼
Dude… absolutely awesome video 🤩🔥 And I 100% agree with all of these lessons, insanely valuable advice! It was so awesome to hear that you and I think about this whole photography and content creation space in such a similar way as well! Thank you for all you do and for the mention at the end! Hope to meet you and create some cool content together in the future! If you’re ever in Melbourne or Australia in general definitely reach out 😊🫶
I love the way you approach this stuff too mate. Thrilled to see you succeeding in a different way then I am, and would love to connect and be able to share your insights with the community! If you wanna come to Canada too you’re always welcome!
Really glad YT suggested your stuff. After watching a few of your videos today I have definitely learned a few things that I need to change. I did see that I already do a lot of what you suggest (have been doing this as a hobby for quite a while now) which made me feel good. Your IG tip about how the car lands on my IG page I definitely need to fix and work on going forward. Until I saw you point that out in this and your other video about IG I didn't notice or think about that. Would love other critiques on my work if you do another video like that in the future.
Another great, informative video Alex, thank you. You've helped me immensely over the last few years and its great that you keep giving these insights and tips
so grateful for your channel, especially this video, im a big car guy and im getting into photography. thankfully its my passion and wanted my camera for a while just for me, and i am not super interested in making it a career, but rather as art
Amazing! Make sure to go watch the podcast I did in my last video also! Great for setting up your Instagram in a way you can actually make money! Start early and you’ll be set up for success in the long run.
@@TheCarCreative Thanks, will do! Its also hard for me to get out and look for shoots on my own being only 15 and not having my license yet so as of now, I have to rely solely on car meets. And unfortunately, where i live, they don't start until march. :(
"Fantastic tutorial on car photo editing! 🚗✨ The techniques you shared really enhance the car's visual appeal. Thanks for the insightful tips! 📸 #CarEditingMastery #AutomotiveArtistry"
Is there a vedio where you talk about starting off gear? I've been looking at cameras and so many options. What would be a good recommendation or requirements for automotive photography?
Amazing tips as always. So it's not bad to draw inspiration from others in professional work? Or try and recreate or "mimic" what others did in the early stages?
I wish I could do photography as a job but it seems impossible realistically atm... Of course I won't stop because it's my passion but idk how to start a real career and it's depressing... (btw the music is a bit loud but nice video)
