What do you struggle the most when making a living with your camera? 📸 I hope I covered everything here in this video but pls feel free to ask below! 😍

I struggle to advocate for myself eventhough I have solid proof of the necessary skills for photography.

@ioancristianiosep6214 2 года назад

And I was about to close my Adobe subscription, close my site and give up. However, your video tells me not to do it and to try again, maybe one day I will succeed in overcoming myself and taking better photos. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Laura 🙏 for your motivation! Your videos are amazing and I am very happy that I chose to subscribe to such quality content. Good luck in everything you do!

@LauraBC 2 года назад

Hi Ioan! What a meaningful message! Thank you! 🥺❤️ I’m glad I made you think twice. I know it’s hard and overwhelming but it doesn’t have to be. We just need to take one step at a time and enjoy the process. Easy to say, I know. But I did struggle a lot in the past with the exact same thing as you so I totally get you. 🙏🏼 Just keep at it! Take it slowly and keep following that path. ❤️ Thanks again for your message, I truly appreciate it. Big hug from London! And same to you, good luck with everything you do! 😊

@Mega-knight_55 Год назад

How is it going? 😊

@ioancristianiosep6214 Год назад

@@Mega-knight_55 everything is going well, I had a few paid photo sessions, and I'm glad that my enthusiasm has returned.Every day I learn something new and I try to take as many photos as I can to improve my technique.And something else happens, I usually had a tendency to think too much when I had to take photos, but day by day it becomes more and more natural and that makes me very happy. I am aware that there are still years ahead of me and that everything happens slowly, but I try to enjoy every moment.

@wettsoggynoodles Год назад

Laura, I just want to take the time to write this and say, thank you so much for sharing everything you’ve shared on your channel. I’ve been doing photography for over 3 years now but lacked the confidence to take action on building the business and putting myself out there, even though I was/am confident in my skills and the quality of my work. After all the time that’s passed, I’m finally at the point where I took I decided to take initiative and start learning everything I can about what it takes to maximize opportunity in the freelance photography world. I’ve learned so much valuable information from your videos which is special to me because with most of all of the prior videos with the same purpose and idea of teaching me how to be successful with this, you’re the first that I genuinely feel that I’ve learned very valuable and applicable information about how to go about forming my business, being someone as clueless as I am. Thank you, and best of wishes ! - Markku

@saajanjogia 2 года назад

Thank you so much! You are motivating, indeed. Sometimes, just picking your camera and shooting randomly can remind you of how good you are 🙂

@stevebrierley9806 2 года назад

I studied art many years ago, but use none of the skills in my present working life Portrait photography does really interest me and although new to your channel, I am finding your videos inspirational and giving me the push I needed

@fremont111 Год назад

yes, me too! i majored in photography but couldn't figure out how to make a career out of it as i wasn't much into commercial photography. now with the internet, so many opps have opened up!

@loutrujillo9606 2 года назад

Hello Laura. I just discover you and you are a fresh air. Love the way you explain and deliver your message. Your video brought me down to the ground and remember to do step by step. We all get overly excited when we get our first contrat or we get "photo". this is a reminder to me once again, slow and steady. Muchas Gracias Laura. P.S. started following you on Instagram and Vero 😁😉

@LauraBC 2 года назад

Glad you can relate to this. That's been me for many years... so stuck in my comfort zone. I hope this video motivates a little! 😍❤️📸

@ajo9146 2 года назад

I'm going through the time like that you've already gone. I rent a camera and single zoom lens, and buy some snacks and shoot it inside my room for creating my portfolio. I also do architectural, product, fine art and street photography. It's the toughest time in the beginning. Thank you Laura. This video can be helpful to a lot of emerging photographers out there.

@LauraBC 2 года назад

Exactly! The hardest part is to shoot to grow portfolio and know what to shoot as well. It's all about experimenting, practising and choosing the best shots. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 😍 Thank you!

@whitedovenc Год назад

Thank you, Laura, for your videos. They are very informative and I'm working on my photography skills for a while now with professional equipment. I have been doing a maternity shoot and also a baby shoot with a 1-week-old baby which was very nice to do. I'm collaborating with a local photographer soon and looking forward to it.

Hi Des! This happens way too often right? This is literally me speaking to my younger self… I experienced so many obstacles and I really wanted to talk about them in this video to hopefully, motivate a little bit to those who are where I was before. I’m glad you can relate! ❤️ We are our worst enemies… I know… but we need to push and chase our goals. 😍

@AmaraARW 2 года назад

II like that you mention niches, I'll never understand why people who give advice stress so much on niches as if photographers can only make money in one area. The average person often doesn't even understand photography niches and will assume photographers are capable of shooting everything.

@LauraBC 2 года назад

Exactly!! I was so focused on finding my niche till I found out it was silly. It's good to have a main one you love but totally right if shooting within others. More possibilities to earn money, more fun and more knowledge. 😊
