How to CRUSH IT as a FREELANCE FILMMAKER or PHOTOGRAPHER

Gm perfect timing lol

🔥🔥🔥 always killing it man. I’m wanting that full time life next year.

Quality of the client. For example; Instead of running around looking for newly weds, find a venue that books newly weds so that the venue can put a good word in for you. And don't stick with one market, expand your reach by spreading out to other industries. Like Brandon mentions, weddings have their dry seasons, so having work in other things like real estate, sports and concerts can keep the food on the plate if your looking to go full time with it. Loving the content.

Great video as always :)

But Brandon I also think you can’t just slap the word professional onto your name without having a good standard of skill as I know someone right now calling themselves a professional but the work is really amateur

But thanks for the advice about the word aspiring , I’ve taken it out my title :)

what happened to your headroom :-) But nice vid!

Great video! I’m on the border of full time just looking for those “right” clients. These tips should help get me over the top and congrats on the 18k!

Awesome tips. Thanks Brandon. Greetings from México.

Hey Brandon quick question within videography/photography we mostly stay within fitness world shooting for gyms, personal trainers, and fitness related brands. We're also fresh on scene but no one in our area of long island NY is doing what we're doing or at least I don't think. We do have work from other clients to show potential ones and have two videos lined up for this week I wanted to be niche but do you think that will hinder progress? Live in NY area so there's a lot of fitness/health related places though...

Video was a big help by the way as always

Awesome information! I subscribed! I have been doing photography and videography for a while now. This kind of information is what I need! Thank you so much bro! I appreciate it!

Great stuff as always, thank for the motivation as I'm currently at this phase and putting out content on a slow basis due to school. Keep em coming!

I fall in your Vlog several times but I never suscribed but, I'm now, with bell icon.... You really are making good advice and content (this video is awesome advice).

Thanks 4 it

congrats on this growth man you deserve it coming to ya.. but why are you always cutting off your head lmao

Great tips. Thank you. Any suggestions on how to find real estate clients? Cheers.

Great tips. I bounce between photo and video depending on what personal projects I have and you can't get anywhere doing that. Right now it's sports photography and instead of waiting i took it upon myself to rent gear and just show up to public events and shoot for the experience. After getting a few events in my portfolio I just straight up called two upcoming events and asked if they were hiring photographers and I landed 2 paying gigs in the last 3 weeks.

Also I felt like I almost lost the chance to do one of them because they asked for my website and I don't have one. Since then I realized that along with my Adobe subscription I can build a website free to show off my portfolio. Now i don't doubt that looking/being more professional will probably open up better paying jobs.

Another thing is one gig pays well enough I can pay a less experienced 2nd shooter even though the event wasn't willing to pay for more than one. Now I'll exceed their expectations which is my goal plus build my resources so I can shoot bigger projects.

officially subscribed- thanks for the tips man. Take care.
