This NEW Approach to Photography Will Change Your Career FOREVER!

Surely the only probable genuinely honest confession, motivational speech of and for who pursue photography. No products promos, exactly the creative necessary elements. Great indeed.

[@LauraBC]

Thank you so much! I’m so happy to know that you feel this way about this video. All of this is what I’ve been learning through all the years I was trying to make a living with my camera so I’m very excited to know that it helped you! Thanks a lot for taking the time to drop such a meaningful comment! ❤️📸

"You learn a lot through limitations -and don't put limitations on yourself." Well said.

[@LauraBC]

Thank you! I’m glad you agree. I learned the hard way and then I realised how much we can grow when we have to push through limitations. ❤️

[@BGTuyau]

@@LauraBC Add to this your enthusiasm and positivity -on which others have rightly commented- for your very inspiring presentation. All I might add [from my experience] to your "success formula" is the importance [and, often for me, the challenge] of perseverance.

I am so happy I stumbled upon your channel. You professionally opened my eyes to so many things. Thank you so much for the video-it is an eye opener for me.

[@guerrothecookout3096]

You are such an honest photographer, I’m deeply grateful to have come across your channel. I was mortified this week because I got the chance to photograph with models and I had NO STUDIO! That thought started flowing into “what if my camera isn’t good enough”or “how am I gonna make these look cool and different” blah blah blah. Unproductive thoughts! I’m gonna figure this shoot out like I always do, make the pictures beautiful, and you’ve given me much needed reassurance. W videos and channel. Eres genial🙏

[@LauraBC]

Thank you so much! So nice to know that this video made you feel better. Our thoughts and self-doubts are our worst enemies! 🤦🏻‍♀️ You’ll do a great job. Once you start shooting, you’ll feel way better. Every new photoshoot is a new challenge so we get nervous. It still happens to me with big projects. 😅 Go for it! And best of luck! ❤️💪🏼📸

[@NotSoAngryScot]

I will be the first to admit that even this early on, I was starting to fall into the Gear Acquisition Syndrom for sure, but the only thing I ended up doing was swapping my APS-C body for a full frame (because my hobby aspect is night street photography, and my camera really wasn't holding up for the shots I was trying to take) But I fully understand that was a want more than a need! Now I run my 35mm + 85mm primes and all in the pursuit of starting a portrait/lifestyle photography business, I finished my second shoot with another model last week and I have another lined up for next week to get my portfolio underway! You have also inspired me to try more self portraiture to experiment with my style, my first studio flash arrived today so that will be an on going theme for the next few months! Thank you, thank you, thank you for the REAL + Raw rational you bring to your videos, you have pushed me forward so much since I found your channel a few months ago and I have gotten very comfortable and super happy with MY work! Big Love from Scotland, enjoy your travels!!

[@LauraBC]

Hi Scot! What a joy to read this message! It makes me super happy to know that my channel is been helping you! ❤️ And everything I read makes me so proud of your choices. I think a full-frame is a must! And more with the night street photography requirements. It's super easy to fall into the Gear Acquisition Syndrome... We all become a bit "geeky" about gear and we always want more and more... 😅 Good choices with the lenses for lifestyle and portrait! the 35mm is sooooo versatile on a full-frame and the 85mm is spot on for portrait photography! 👌🏼 Also, well done with your photoshoots. Building a portfolio is the most important step before start approaching potential clients. A portfolio is our best introduction as a photographer. Again, THANK YOU for your comments because knowing that you feel that way, really really motivates me to keep creating. 🙏🏼 Sending you a big hug all the way from London to Scotland! Looking forward to knowing more about your next steps in your new business! ❤️

Laura, you are a Godsent! This video is for me, and I put my learning on hold for the past few years (and now a baby arrived to my life). I was on the other, extreme side of spectrum - I lived in Canada for 5 years and spent a LOT of money on my...well, a hobby. I even purchased studio lights and stands and some backdrops, always thinking I needed more. But I never spent time to learn to use what I already have. But this video put a lot of things into perspective, it's time to take a step back, take a deep breath and go back to where I departed. Subscribed!

[@LauraBC]

Thank you for your amazing words! And I loved to know your story. Congratssss for the baby! 😍 Totally agree with you, time to take a deep breath and take the time to nurture your passion. You already have the gear! 😍 Big love and best of luck with your come back! 💪🏼 Thanks for subscribing! :)

[@roman2374]

I also really like the advice to find clients that are at the same “level” and realising that just because you can’t charge the same as a full professional doesn’t mean you can’t make some money. And this is also a spiral - once you start having an income with photography gear will (literally) pay for itself

I thought that I could learn everything on KZbin. KZbin does help a bit after the person in front of the camera talks and rambles on for 8 minutes and then gets to the point. I started listening to a photography podcast because I thought it would be like lessons but in a way it wasn’t. The person on the podcast did have courses online and I decided to give it a try and the difference was night and day compared to learning on KZbin. What makes it the best experience, in my opinion, is that there is no ads, there are no sponsors taking video time, it just goes straight to the point. I would highly recommend that if you resonate with a photographer/videographer and they offer courses; take them. It will literally be life changing. Wish you all the best, I know we’re all trying to learn. You guys stay safe and keep on learning.

[@LauraBC]

I TOTALLY agree with this. On KZbin you have to do a lot of research to find the right videos. You learn a lot but through a lot of research. When getting a course, they are very well structured, straightforward, and well produced for anyone to learn. Plus we get to support our favourite creatives. :) Thanks for being here!

[@katisbouquet]

Five years ago when I started professional photography, I didn't have a studio or expensive equipment. I had the cheapest camera on the market, a Nikon kit with an 18-55 and a 200mm lens. The camera has been with me for almost nine years now, and even though it's starting to come apart from wear and tear, I've managed to take some of the most beautiful photos with it. Although I now own two other cameras from different brands, I prefer to continue using this one because I know it so well. In the beginning, I had a very small room where I set up backdrops for themed photoshoots, like Christmas and Easter. But mostly, I would take my clients out into nature, near lakes, and look for natural backdrops like flowers, since I'm also a florist. I can only say that this week I'm selling everything from my living room, even my dining table, to pursue my dream. Thanks to Laura, I've gained a deep understanding of how to create a professional home studio with minimal resources but good equipment that I can afford. I've photographed hundreds of families, but I still feel like I haven't reached my full potential. I'm sure my clients are happy with my work, but I want to reach a new level and start doing portrait photography. Thank you, Laura, for everything you do. You're a true artist and inspire me every morning when I drink my coffee. Because I work two jobs a day I don't have a lot of time at the moment. I've never met anyone who can explain things the way you do. Thank you.❤

I love the idea of street and architectural photography, but my dream with photos is mock ups for products. Got the cam for filming after selling my fs5 ii for $800 😩 and my 18-105mm lens for $100 😩😩 (returning from Vegas and Erie very much defeated) because I needed the money badly. I got rid of gear people would kill for, but I'm over it. Grabbing this camera, these lenses, and junking out on KZbin has put the spark in me that school couldn't.

@@FriesyRider Thank you! I thought it would be helpful to show how I started. Everything is low budget and messy at the beginning. 😅 Thanks for being here! :)

Excuse me, first off I love your accent. Second I’m glad I came across this video and your content. You did hit the mail on the head. Thank you so much for sharing. What stood out to me “ don’t put limitations on yourself” thanks again.

Every word you’ve spoken rings true,,,so often negativity sinks our ship before it leaves port!

Right?? Mindset is super important. We tend to sabotage ourselves before even trying. 🙏🏼
