How To Market Commercial Photography On Instagram 

You are one of the few real photographer on the internet that makes money selling his photographs and not his workshops! I totally agree, having millions of followers who wont never be your clients is useless! Posting something that represent who you are in person and how you work is a great idea too!

You can't even imagine how grateful I am for your content. Follow all your advice! Time to start changing my perception. Greets from Poland!

So refreshing seeing real info from a real Pro's POV. Thanks for posting these.

In the beginning, I was completely disappointed by the IG numbers and slow grow. After a while, I have noticed I got views from the important players in the industry, that they are using my IG as part of their daily routine. I have started to get likes and follow by people I am interested in working with... I started to considered that if you are serious in your job, and not searching for just some easy money on IG, not the number of people following matters, but the quality and importance of your followers. Great video as always. Thank you for keeping me sane at the start of the road.

Nice to hear someone talk a lot of sense about photography and the realities of being a professional.

You are the man Scott!

Great video man, completely agree with you!

Your simplified, straight to the point way of teaching is very engaging and inspiring. Thank you for that.

Quality over quantity. Great advice 👌🏼 and love your raw to the point thoughts

These video and content is so on point!!!! Really love channel

You're a very smart chap! thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Your videos are really helpful; I like this, you look at Instagram in its simplicity, it's a connection, a place to showcase both sides of ourselves. I've never really embraced social media as a "social thing" - I remember the days when we'd go out and meet people to make contacts. This topic, how to make contacts is often neglected in all the how to do something articles and videos; the toughest thing in marketing is creating a starting point for conversation/ negotiation, and that is beginning a dialogue with a potential client - the big question is , how to meet new potential clients on a regular basis in a world hell bent on putting everything we do online? Great, helpful videos, tons of honesty and straightforward advice. Cheers.

Great video mate. This opened my eyes about having the right people follow me instead... Much appreciated!

very first useful video, thanks!

Still on your channel. Really enjoying it. Thanks 👍

Always so amazing content, very inspiring, cheers!

love your video

Hi Scott, thanks for your perspective! I fully agree on using instagram as a portfolio. How do you use it to attract ad agents? Is it using hashtags or what? I'm happy with my current photography skills and look, but I am having a hard time "breaking into the business" and getting my first paying client. Thanks again!

Great Video!

Thanks for the info!

Hey man great video! I love your channel and you taught me so much!! crazy value in your videos. Id love to hear a critique from you of my portfolio!

Your content is great, keep it up! You can still prioritize the cat though ;)

Great suggestions. Also, utilize hashtags too, just to widen your reachability. So many clients and people follow hashtags (#blackandwhite #photo, etc). It all helps.

Good points made... I was wondering how you get creative directors to look at your Instagram page?

Spot on about the followers numbers. Engagement and who actually follows you is more important. That being said, how did you go about gathering art directors and art buyers?

Natural approach. Keep some of the people (that matters) happy most of the time... Did I get it right?

Hey, I am wanting to start my own product photography business and I'm setting up my studio at home. I was wondering what is the best way to get the products sent over from the client? Are they added in the price or do they send them over and you send them back? Much appreciated for any help!😊

Hi Scott do you use a Regular profile or would you get a Business profile.

How does one get the 'important people' like Art buyers and Ad Agencies to even follow in the first place though?

Great video! What the best way t get in touch with you?

Catch #22 No art buyers in my country... :(

Every time I come across a premiere video and it says premieres in 6 or in this case 19 hours, I get the urge to unfollow. You see a title and thumbnail that shows you something you might want to check out and watch, then when you click and can’t watch... Just upload the damn damn video. Or if you do a premier, make it like 30 minutes to an hour.
