Ahaha I was a true corporate slave, thought I could succeed there as a round peg squeezing into a round hole. Glad I bounced outta there ahaha annnnnd that you liked the french accent! Thanks for the support Mansour!!

...and very realistic!!

My man - big love ❤️ appreciate the support and noticing the efforts

What fantastic insight about being employed for who you are and not what you can do. Thank you for sharing Gary

Thank you dude! Hope it helps the gang on their journeys! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment ❤️

Thank you dude 🙌 glad you found it useful :) yeah I completely agree, learning to work with other creatives and accepting they may shoot something better than you is hard to over come. Took me a while too get over but has transformed my business too 🙌 thanks for sharing your insight

Glad you think so - Thanks for commenting Ron!

You are more than Welcome Daniel- If you have any questions, feel free to ping me a message over on IG

Glad you liked it Kenneth! If you have any more questions, feel free to message me over on IG

Completely agree with what you've said - Which makes me even happier that I don't make money directly from the sale of Street Photography images, which is the thing I find most joy from. What do you photograph now?

@@JamesParsons1 I now photograph landscapes mainly which goes hand in hand with my joy of hiking.I still shoot the odd motocross event but I’d like to try street photography.I have just got an x100v and love it,along with your channel.Thanks for putting the effort in and long may it continue along with more success for you.✌🏻✌🏻

I read your comment and I can relate to this as I was a musician for 40yrs playing on stage, I always said it was no different to the guy outside digging a hole, it was just a job and you got paid for it. Now retired I don't play any instruments and took up photography instead.

You're welcome! Hope the information has been helpful dude. Any questions DM me on IG :)

Thank you so much 🙌 glad you think it was helpful. Appreciate the support ❤️

Thank you man! Glad you enjoyed the video. A slightly different job to your passion is the dream 🙌🙌

Keep at it my dude, the efforts you put in now will compound and spiral into a business in no time. Keep me in the loop with how it goes dude

Thank you my dude 😎 did anything stand out in particular?

@@JamesParsons1 yes! The part about thinking what the client wants to communicate through the photos and doing the research on how you are going to visualize their brand to land the job is a great tip!👏🏼

Yooooo thank you so much

Glad you found it useful :) if you have any questions let me know

No worries my man - Hope it proved helpful :)

Thank you for commenting and supporting the channel dude 🙌🙌

Hope its sparked some exciting thoughts for you!

Thank you my dude! Glad you found it useful 🙌🙌

Me too dude! That’s something I’ve really been struggling with recently. Glad it’s not just me ahaha

@@JamesParsons1 100% mate, it’s harder still having a RU-vid channel to grow too! Keep up the great work, maybe we can hook up a street photo collab sometime 🤘🏼

Straight facts. Thats what's bene getting me. Feeling like I need to create for RU-vid, take on client work and try to grow business. Gets a bit much sometimes...

Thank you Michael! No need for you to get me a coffee

@@JamesParsons1 I can do that because I follow your work with joy, the joy of some great photos. 😊👍❤️

@@JamesParsons1 hi James been unwell so not kept up with what you are doing, anyway I will be back! Have a good Sunday Keep well and carry on what you do best with that lovely Fuji. ❤️ Michael.

YES YES YES - I LOVE TO HEAR IT. Been very happy seeing your progress on instagram. BIG UP MAN. You are doing it in hard mode with a baby and wife. Lets gooooooooo Aleks

Exactly that, these companies have access to many clients. So once you are in, you might get called up for a bunch of different work

I'd say you've misinterpreted my point. Work for free to get opportunities that are likely to progress your career, and perhaps you won't get if you were to charge. These are 99% of the time opportunities you've found/ want in on. But if someone asks you to work for free, and it's not an incredible opp, always say no. 99% of the time people who pay you in ‘exposure’ don't have a network of paying clients.

@@JamesParsons1 While offering work for free might occasionally unlock opportunities, it's not a feasible strategy for many artists who depend on their craft for a living. Your comment suggests a selective approach, which is reasonable, but the industry's over-reliance on unpaid work can unfairly benefit those who can afford to volunteer their services, leading to a skewed representation in the art world. This practice can undermine the value of creative work and make it difficult for all artists to achieve fair compensation and recognition.

Very interesting perspective! I think as people get into the business, exposure/ promised future work is often falsely-sold by clients in order to get free work, which is really poor behaviour. Whether I have been in a lucky position where i've been able to consume a lot of business podcasts and books, i've found that as my skills increased as an artist, these offers very quickly disappeared and I don't think i've received a cowboy business offer in a lonnnng time. I still stand by getting brands on your portfolio, shows other brands you are trust-worthy and worth working with.
