      I checked another clip on this topic and found it stressful, as the content creator was yelling and talking so fast. So yes, this is informative and not stressful.

    I would also recommend not quitting your day job while you build your business! The pressure of making money to pay your bills when you're just starting out.... can burn you out incredibly quick. I very quickly discovered that and ended up getting myself a part-time job while building my business/second shooting etc. Could use my part-time job to pay for my bills, and the money I earned from photography was reinvested back into my business through buying gear etc. Especially with wedding photography - the gear requirements for a wedding are large compared to photographing something like family portraits.

    • @juliatrotti
      @juliatrotti  Před 6 lety +9

      Yes this is really important!! I used to work as a retoucher in a studio while I was trying to get my photography business up and running. Eventually you will start booking enough jobs and see a growth in your business so you'll know when it feels right to quit your day job and go full time with photography. Thanks for mentioning that 😊

    Being the second shooter worked best for me as a part-time photographer, I have the oportunity to learn new things and improve my skills. Art direction is something that a lot of people overlook and I’m glad I have the oportunity to learn more and more almost on a daily basis, plus getting paid to do so ain’t a bad thing 😊
    Thanks for your tips Julia, you’re truly one of my favorites 😘

    Nice video. I am actually running businesses within something completely different. The idea of jumping the boat on photography has always been there, but after inheriting my fathers canon 5D IV and a few really great lenses the idea came to life even more so. This was very inspiring to me. Thanks!

    Great video! I did a volunteer gig for an event locally and before I did the event the company asked me to take photos the day before for the setup of the event! Was my first paid gig! It also helped to get my name and work out there as I gave all my business cards to people at the event, and the company credited me for the work! 1.5 million potential clients! I know it wont happen overnight. But one day I hope to just photograph as a job! I love doing it!

    • @juliatrotti
      @juliatrotti  Před 6 lety +4

      Glad you liked it :) As an assistant you don't really have all that pressure of the main wedding photographer which is a nice way to ease into it. Once you have a system down and you're comfortable with your cameras and back up equipment (harddrives, etc) weddings are so much fun to capture!

    Hi Julia, I have learned so much from following your channel! Thank you for sharing with us. I just watched your other video on how to build your photography business and I wanted to ask if you could share how you went about becoming a 2nd wedding photographer/assistant for another photographer before you were able to turn your photography into your own full time business. I think it is a brilliant idea to work alongside someone with more experience but I’m not sure how to go about it? Did you just contact them and ask if you could work alongside them? Thank you :)

I'm currently looking for some second shooting positions to get used to the flow a little bit and learn the main photographers duties a little more! Have a wonderful day :) And as always, I look forward to the next video!

    • @stuartfillmore7331
      @stuartfillmore7331 Před 6 lety

      I did my first earlier this year and it was an amazing experience. All I can say is always be ready for anything!!! I stood back a bit and took photos of what was going on but in hindsight I needed to direct the people so the photo's would work. Does not mean stop them doing things, just get them into better positions or move stuff out of the way etc. Good luck!

    • @juliatrotti
      @juliatrotti  Před 6 lety +1

      Thanks so much Alex, that's awesome to hear you have a wedding coming up - they are so much fun to capture! And I agree, I think if you can second shoot a couple of times before then you'll be a lot less nervous :) Good luck!
