Italian Greyhounds are interesting dogs to have! They have what's called a "greeting disorder"......when you come home, even if you were only gone for 10 minutes, they jump uncontrollably when you walk in!

[@SalCincotta1]

haha very true!

[@gburgMD]

Love the video/photo & audio drop ins. They make the video entertaining.

[@emu256]

The hardest part is getting clients.

[@FilipLjungberg]

I appreciate you creating this. Exceptional content.

[@gemini2261]

Brilliant advice, thanks Sal. Greetings from Roleystone Western Australia. 🖐

[@valdemarcaballero5298]

SAL, thanks for this inspirational video.... it was fantastic!!!!!

[@jrfsailing07]

Thank you Sal!

[@stevelmoon]

Thank you for doing this series. Very good stuff.

[@luissalazar2159]

Thanks for sharing, I am going to do it now . ps. Your Energy is amazing bro! I’m your student

[@jameldecasseres8638]

Great information Sal! This is what separates the professionals from the hobbyist.

[@jessicabramern488]

I absolutely love this! I know you're talking about me! It wasn't until I started to make this comment that I realized I have a very outdated phone photo on my email. I am just starting out, and I jumped in way sooner than what I had planned. I knew that I needed to focus on the backend and creating a portfolio that displays the work that I really want to do first, But I got sidetracked. The way that I found your page is actually because I I decided to take a little step back and make sure that I'm actually doing things right when it comes to the back end and creating the correct image and portfolio for my brand. I was looking at venues to rent to stage weddings for my portfolio, and you actually did a series at the STL venue. I was shocked when I looked at your page and saw your work. I was very happy to see that you do these tutorials because what I want to focus on is the backend of my business as well as creating a portfolio using creative lighting techniques and my theatrical background. I'm so excited to watch more of your content!

[@SalCincotta1]

You got this!!!

Come to shutterfest.com right in our backyard.

[@jessicabramern488]

@@SalCincotta1 I am going! Any opinion on the R5C versus the R5? Vanessa had me sold on the R5, but the R5C has its perks. I am willing to invest.

[@SalCincotta1]

@@jessicabramern488 awesome! ... r5 vs r5c... comes down to your needs. are you doing heavy cinema work? then the C. if you are more photowork... the r5 is my personal choice. does that help?

[@ImagesbyCeciSnow]

Excellent intro to professional presentation.

[@000CloudStrife]

Great video. I feel a lot of photogs forget to tell people starting about these other important things. Register your business and Get your tax license. This is why we see so many bad photogs and videographers. Not legitimate and can provide super cheap prices because they are not a legal business.

[@SalCincotta1]

of course!

[@josediazh3890]

Muchas gracias.

[@dblackmarketing5947]

Thanks for the video. I'm starting a agency helping local business with their online presence. I'm no photographer lol. But I would like to offer it as a service to small business owners. Plus it would help me market my own bussines and services aswell as theirs. Just don't know where to start or how to go about it

[@hiramgarcia21]

Thanks a lot!!!

[@karlweb1]

Good job Brooklyn My first go round my partner was my ex Yeah did not end well Thank you for your transparency

[@PBKB]

[@sonidaso127]

[@SalCincotta1]
