I appreciate you doing this video. I started to believe that I've already put in the work and the clients should start just coming to me. But you're exactly right. Reaching out to people is how I got started to begin with, and I need to keep doing it every day. Because the truth is really in volume. Thank you again

LOVE this video, so true, and finally I get to see photographers not being afraid to tell the truth :)

Once again, I don't know any youtube photographer shooting global campaigns or in global art galleries. Just content creation/review/tutorials honestly. The reasons for this are varied. Photographers involved in large-scale campaigns often prioritize their work and client relationships over creating content for platforms like KZbin. Additionally, the nature of their projects might involve confidentiality agreements, limiting their ability to share certain aspects of their work publicly. While some photographers may receive equipment from brands for specific campaigns, it's more common for them to work closely with rental companies or have longstanding relationships with camera manufacturers. Brands may sponsor content creators who have a strong online presence, but the dynamics can be different for established professionals working on major campaigns.
