5 Reasons Why You're NOT Booking Photography Clients

[@Ohsogrande-d1c]

These were brilliant, especially the part about not saying "Just let me know".

[@AdrianLardPhoto]

Preciate that David. Dude that never works...they will never get back to you lol. You have to push things forward while you have the opportunity. People get distracted and forget easily.

[@staceyraubenheimer8691]

This is how I win most clients and also have them coming back. I just have a good time with them. Spicing up the shoot more

[@deontreyreddish9622]

Man, just want you to know your videos have really been helping me. Keep coming with the game because I need it all!

[@AdrianLardPhoto]

Thanks bro! That's great to hear. You know I'm gonna keep it coming✊ What videos do you want to see from me? Anything specific that would be helpful to you?

[@otisrobertson3086]

Whew...that, “Just let me know” hurt. Those words will never again come through my lips again, concerning my business

[@AdrianLardPhoto]

So helpful. Thanks 😊

[@simonabergerphotography]

Cool tips, thank you for the bottom of my heart! I want to share something with you to remark the importance of Tip #3: I am a Fine Art Portrait photographer that specializes in children and young adults. I like dressing them up super fancy and pose them like adult models. The little girls especially love it. One time I was shooting a group of 4 girls, about 6-7 years old, and I was having a hard time. They looked bored! So I started mixing up their names on purpose, and the more I kept my face serious, the more they laughed. Long story short, I've got a few super cool photos with good poses and a ton of them laughing hard, and the moms loved them all. So yes, be yourself, but especially, have (or make it) fun! :)

[@bunmispeakstv]

This is getting to me at the right time

[@cedricwebb5576]

I love your vids bruh. You are an excellent teacher and photographer. I notice you have few to no dislikes and that's the proof in the pudding. You keep it "one hundred". Stay on the scene sir. God bless you and your business

[@AdrianLardPhoto]

I appreciate that!

[@jasonbestphotography]

People skills is most important , it's the grease that keeps the wheels moving. Introverts have an uphill challange

[@gailware3779]

Love all the knowledge you shared. Thanks a lot.🥰🥰🥰

[@AdrianLardPhoto]

No problem😊

[@romiemiller7876]

I still use an old Nikon D800. I get results that are just as good as I could get with a Z9, but I have to work harder to get the same results

[@AdrianLardPhoto]

Nice. I've never used Nikon before. I only have experience with Sony and Canon.

[@ShawnLPorterPhotography]

I’m not feeling you right now Bro... You are on my street with #2. There is $3000 lens that I want, probably don’t need it, but want it... but you are absolutely right, that lens will not bring me more clients... Damn you A-Train. 😂🤣🤣😂

[@ShawnLPorterPhotography]

Maybe I'll start with #2 after I buy this lens. LOLOLOL

[@AdrianLardPhoto]

😂😂😂...man it's some lenses I've been wanting for a while now...been holding off and just using what I got...it can be a struggle sometimes lol

[@ShawnLPorterPhotography]

Facts! Always good, informative content.

[@tbeiber09]

The one that hit me hard was the "just let me know". I do that all the time lol

[@AdrianLardPhoto]

Haha...they will never let you know lol.

[@duhitscharmsz]

[@AdrianLardPhoto]

Lol. And you're welcome...thanks for watching🙏

[@Fifthimagez]

Thanks soooo much for this video bro 💯

[@AdrianLardPhoto]

You're welcome bro..preciate you for watching🙏

[@p.burley4533]

These looked like such great tools, I bought it. It’s a steal compared to the costs of my gear.

[@AdrianLardPhoto]

Aye! Thanks for the support🙏 Message me on IG @adrianlardphoto and tell me what you think...I'd love to hear your feedback.

[@emiliovmusic]

Very insightful video! Gonna remove “let me know” out of my vocabulary lol. How do you personally go about greeting your clients when you start a photoshoot? It’s kind of awkward now that we can’t shake hands. What are some things you talk about when you’re walking together somewhere or the moments leading up to the first photo?

[@AdrianLardPhoto]

Haha. That's a great question. We communicate a good amount before the shoot so it's not awkward at all when we meet up. I usually just ask them questions and get to know them a little bit. People love to talk about themselves for the most part lol. Don't go silent. Talk the whole time.

[@newtonkamuyu1661]

Thanks A-train 🤜💪💪

[@AdrianLardPhoto]

No problem bro✊✊🙏

[@hankjonkman1893]

Really solid information. I know I'm not marketing my business enough. Having a hard time figuring out what works. Too many options, from Social media to direct mail and everything in between. Could use some guidance on how. What is your marketing plan? I've done some Facebook paid ads, Yelp paid ads, Pinterest paid stuff, not a lot of response to any of it.

[@MonroesArtStudio]

Have you done IG ads?

[@hankjonkman1893]

@@MonroesArtStudio Not Instagram ads yet, but just paid to promote a blog post there, and have gotten good response so far. So that may be my next move. As long as I can narrow the reach geographicly.

[@luxurybuzz3681]

It depends on your niche.

[@MonroesArtStudio]

When it comes to the sale, my issue is when getting the sale, they wanna dumb it down to a free shoot or a TFP and I'm like....

[@AdrianLardPhoto]

Are models doing this or regular clients? You could just be targeting the wrong type of clients.

[@MonroesArtStudio]

It's never from the client side. Clients understand. On the modeling side it's always iffy. Maybe it's my area, I never figured it out. I do modeling things on a different level 80% of the time because modeling and client work isn't the same all the time. I'm always upfront about pricing though, so it never makes sense for them to come back at me after getting pricing to then decide "How about Free/Trade".
