That’s what I did, I took pictures of anything and everything and then send them to the right person to see them. And that’s how I take photos now for the city I live in. Go out and take photos.

@robertmawdsley7 ай бұрын
Early on I asked if I could photograph rehearsals at a local theatre. The lighting was amazing (it’s pretty much already done for you) and this got me some work then with the actors, doing headshots and lifestyle work. Actors alway need new images! What actually got me lots of work was learning to design websites, just using platforms like Squarespace or Wix. Then approaching a business with the offer of BOTH photography and web design as a package. I can now travel and do photography with design. I love it!

Can't tell you how inspired I feel Laura after watching this video, thank you ! I have been really wanting to and trying to get back to photography its been almost 4 years since covid that I haven't touched my camera. I recently bought a new camera sony A7iv to jump back as the the gear I previously owned was almost 14 years ago. And I am so happy I took that step and now it's about taking the 2nd step of putting myself out there. I'm in a new city, don't know the language (french), no friends, have been going out to shoot but having hesitation will I be able to do it.

I successfully got my first gig, one of my friends needed photos for his comedy routine because he got a brand deal with a clothing company! So cool. I will keep watching your videos and taking notes.

Hey, Laura, you're such an inspiration! Keep going forward, I'm glad to be a follower to your channel. I have noticed you haven't written what's the mic you use, and i know from before that sound is very important for you. Can you tell us what is the lav mic you use?
@LauraBC7 ай бұрын
Thank you so much! 😍 So glad to know that you like my videos and you're enjoying my channel! ❤️ Thank you for pointing that out. I added the wireless mic I use but I forgot to add the lavalier mic I attach to it. Below you can find the combination I use. I sometimes use just the wireless mic because the mic transmitter, comes with a clip and with a magnet. But depending on my clothing, I sometimes add the lavalier. - Wireless Mic: geni.us/taYBl - Lavalier Mic: geni.us/sPxp I hope it helps! 😊

Thanks again for another amazing video Laura! Muchas gracias!! I was wondering if you have any particular thoughts on selling prints online??(in addition to stock photography I want to actually set up a store for my prints and then I want to use some ad service to market them) beginning while having a 9 to 6 day job is very hard, so I’m thinking about automating some part of it. Have you tried this before? I’m using one of those services that fulfill orders as they come, but I haven’t sold anything yet, just started xD Anyways, thanks for all the videos again!

Hi Laura, love your videos! Is there anyway you can give information about the steps of how to get paid legally by clients and businesses with out getting in trouble with the IRS (contracts, taxes, copyrights, apps, etc.)?. I feel like everyone is talking about how to make money with photography but can’t find proper videos that go through the legal steps. I know you’re not in America but I still think it would be helpful to know how it is where you are. Thank you! 🙏
