It’s actually the opposite for me. Been taking pics since I was 5 (I have proof) Professional since 03. I looked at some of my recent work and it sucked😂. Looked thru my hard drives back at some classics and I really liked how I used to do it. So I’ve been using old methods and bam! Everyone that’s seen my last 3 sessions is trying to book me now.
You have NO idea how helpful this was. You should 110% create a series. Show behind the scenes, camera settings, favorite items, how to market yourself, social media, making a website, etc! Just a little more in depth! Even if the videos are less than 5 min long! You could even show how you do all of those Instagram stories (:
I only did 2 practice shoots and my best friend’s mom payed me $50 for family pics. By then, I have gotten multiple jobs from people that wanted portraits. Thank you for the great advice by the way, I’m only 14😂
Seeing this video just rang the bell for me to stop bitching about not having the right gear or being in the right place and just start working . Bravo to you.
I don't want to be negative but my friends would be the last people to pay 100$, because I've taken photos of them for free they would not do it if I charged.
You’re providing a service for them even at $100 you are giving them a great deal compared to most in the example of senior pictures. Photography is a skill and I think we can agree are equipment and skill is worth a lot.
Even if you dont feel like charging $100 then charge $20, $50, $70 it doesn’t matter (if you’re not supporting yourself on your own that is) never charge free, but also don’t do as much as you would if you were charging $100 (example: shooting for 6 hours and editing/retouching 50 photos for people) its a decent way to charge and start increasing from there
The 50mm has perfect proportions and can been tricky to use with a crop sensor but definitely will make one of the best improvements to anyone’s work! All you have to understand is aperture and at least shoot in aperture priority!!
The Bliss Bean: "So you're a teen who wants to start a photography business" Me a 24 year old who is debating going back to school for art: "absolutely yes that is me 🙂”
24 years old, and I’m in the same boat too! I’m going back to community college to take some courses and am looking into starting my business in real estate photography :-)
Just dropping in an update here :-). I just took photos of my friend's and family's house to post on a business Facebook Page and established prices with some market research. I did some cold calling for some pro-bono photos today and am aiming for at least 5 houses to make a presentation for real estate agents. I had 4 people who agreed for my services and I am so excited! Honestly, I'm a little ashamed that my services have to start out for free because I think the photos I took turned out pretty good. But I hope to get in some repeat clients and good reviews to get started!
thank you so much for this!! i’m super into photography & trying to start a business/make it more professional - this came at the absolute perfect time!
Real! Even though I'm trying to do videography instead of photography, I felt like all the things you've explained are still 100% apt for me because you kept things just to the absolute essentials 😊 much appreciated!
I am not a teenager but I am still just starting out and trying to figure out where to go from here. I found this video super helpful --you're so driven and organized. You should be super proud of yourself!!
I spend A LOT of time learning on CZcams. This is by far the most useful and informative video I've ever seen on the subject. You really have a talent, not only for developing your business's, but actual teaching and organizing material in a useful way. You should consider making a proper course for SkillShare or something like that. Amazing work!!! Thanks!
@@EstablishedHeritage the phography courses were all for beginners. Didn't learn anything. Might be better for other subjects/beginners. Free trials available all the time so worth looking.
Hey, I am a photographer as well. It's kinda funny like I am learning some good facts from a teenager. I am in my 20s but I am trying to do something I love (photography) and make some money doing it. Kudos to you. Like I am hype. Keep are it. I hope to be my own business one day too. I just started late
@@TheBlissBean I meant keep at it lol. And yeah that's true!! I just need to follow photography trends as well. But not sure if they're any. That I know of lol
Damn Girl!!! You my dear...are expectional! Thank you for your WELL developed plan for starting a photography business! I was on a CZcams binge of videos on this topic but I can just stop here. You laid all the basics out right here! And you started this in what your sophomore or junior year in highschool!?! Keep up that entrepreneur spirit! You won't ever HAVE to work for somebody (although you could choose to). As a 25 year-old who recently graduated from college, you just gave me hope! You showed me it can be done. You made my goal so concrete! Thank you for your advice! P.S. I loved your detailed customer service down to the sending thank you cards! 👌👌
I have been watching photography videos for months. Almost ready to give up! Then I found yours and Oh My Goodness!! You explained everything I needed to know in 21.5 minutes, not and hour and 21 minutes!! Thank you so much for helping “this old lady” out. 😘 You are a very intelligent young lady!!! I just subscribed, so I have to go find the rest of your videos and watch them! Thx again! 🙏💕
If you see this, I just wanna let you know you’ve helped me out a lot! I’m 16 , halfway through the junior year, and I started photography last year or so. I want to get better, and I’ve been working hard. Thanks for these videos, it gives me something to relate to
I decided during my senior year that I would like to do photography. I did a lot of learning & research, but when it came time to put that into action, I froze. I started doubting & let fear keep me from trying. I’m 19 now, and I think I’m gonna give it another shot (no pun intended😂). You reminded me that it doesn’t have to be over complicated & that simply starting is the key :)
You are amazing! Honestly, as a 35-year-old who has loved photography but never taken the plunge on starting something more professional around it, but now I want to do it! You are an inspiration!
I use presets as well, I love using them and I always adjust them to the way I want them but I definitely want to start editing on my own, but I need to first learn how to do that!
This has been the most helpful! I’ve always wanted to start a photography side hustle. I’ve had a pretty decent camera for the longest but have always made excuses as to why I won’t start or just being extremely busy. I switched jobs and wasn’t as stressed and just got laid off due to corona virus. So now is the time I’m going to be practicing and just enjoying it and planning my next steps thanks!
I started with photography in my last year of elementary school and I made money in Middle school and I got more and more clients. I think it is really important to get some sort of education (not only online) even if it's just a summer camp or a workshop, professional artists can help you and also let you know if your price is a good price for what you do because a lot of people think they are better than they actually are. I'm in art school (photography and film) for 2 year now and I learned a lot more.
I saw this video 2 years ago when I got my first camera. Thought it would take me forever to get to where you’re at now. I am now estimated to make $5k dollars this month at only 17 years old. Just wanted to come back and say thank you for showing me it was possible.
Same situation for me at the moment but as I’ve turned 20 I gave myself a pep talk and told myself it may be time to take this ‘more seriously’ and push to take on more clients. This was beyond helpful and so efficient and straight to the point xx
This was/is 🔥🔥🔥 Teens and aspiring folks need to know ALL of these topics you shared from your perspective. I especially loved your comments about ZERO friend discounts. Know Your Worth = TRUTH! 💓
I started with a similar setup and finally upgraded to a Nikon Z6. It was well worth the price. The autofocus makes my job so much easier and the photos come out more vibrant. Although the camera doesn’t make the photographer, it can make things a lot easier. Now, I come back from shoots with far less blurry images and can use the screen as a viewfinder which helps me get a fuller view of things. The camera also has amazing autofocus so if you did get it, it would double as a great video camera. The video feature is great for taking self portrait since you can film and pose, then take stills. I’m realizing now this sounds like a Nikon ad, but in all honesty I’m just so grateful for my camera upgrade and how much easier it makes my job!
This is the most helpful business advice video I've ever seen - thank you for sharing these tips! You're so mature, organised and talented it is insane!
I don't usually comment on CZcams videos, but your video compelled me to do so. This is hands down the best guide ever for starting out a photography business. Thank you so much for putting out such valuable content, and I wish you all the best!
I totally agree with you for the presets part, the way i like to use them is that if i see a photo from another photographer with a specific color that i really like but i dont know how i can edit my photo so i can take a similar result i just buy their presets and i am observe their settings and i am keeping the settings i believe that can help me improve my skills without copying them or something
Oh my gosh Beatričė I would never even think of paying you less just because we’re friends. You are providing me with a high quality good/service that deserves to be paid for! If you’re still doing photography when/if I get married I’m definitely hiring you as my photographer! (Wait no, I’ll probably just invite you as a guest or a brides maid so that way you can just enjoy the wedding lol)
Are there any videos that helped you improve your photography? Could you do a video on tips and tricks to improve your photography skills. Loved this video really helpful💕
Congratulations, you've done more before 20 than most people do their whole lives when it comes to starting a business. I'm getting ready to retire, won't say how old I am but my youngest kid is older than you. I've always loved photography and was thinking of doing it for a living after I retire. I've been watching a lot of video's on how to get started, yours is one of the better ones. Thanks for the great advice.
this is probably the most indepth and genuinely helpful resource ive found and ive been researching how to start my business for months so thank you and hopefully now i can actually get it up and running soon!
This is so wonderful. I don’t even know you but I am so proud of you. Such a great work ethic and drive!!! I wish I would have had this mentality in high school. Thank you sharing, keep it up. Definitely going to subscribe and share 👍
I started out doing photography as well when I was in highschool, and up till now I'm still trying to work out my system with rates, workflow, etc. Saved this vid for future reference when I get the time to work on my business! P.S. *sees your memory card with just the adapter/micro sd card* You better get a dslr dedicated sd card. Micro sd cards in dslrs are more prone to corruption :)
@@TheBlissBean using a micro sd card is mostly used for like smartphones and such. So yup, I prefer you get yourself an sd card that's built for dslrs and not those with the micro sd adapters
Omg, i wish i could live in a developed country :( if I charge 99 dollars here, no one would come, it's too pricey. 50 dollars maybe, but never 99 for just a photoshoot and editing. Different worlds I guess. Btw, loved the video
Wow. I’m 24 years old and getting started with photography and found this extremely helpful. Even down to the workflow because that’s mostly what I needed tips on. I have loads of projects that I started on in 2019/2020 with my friends and in and I work full time and wasn’t sure how to organize myself or how to get photos out to my peeps in organized fashion and not in the next month lol. I wanted to master this before I started looking for clients so that way I am more professional with it. Thank you so much for this !!!
Thank you for this! This helped me so much. I’m a freshman in high school and I want to be the photographer at school that everyone knows to go to! I already have an Instagram, have been doing photography for about two years but just started my business. I’m only on my 2nd practice shoot, out of 5, but since it’s summer......I’ll have so much time and hopefully a lot of people will be interested! Thanks for all the information!! I’m starting out pricing low because I want people to know I can do good work before I charge a ton and they don’t like what I did.
This is amazing information. You’re providing valuable content that literally tops a lot of photography/ videography classes that are overpriced. Mark my words you’re going far 👍🏽
just came across yr channel was looking at all the thumbnails i was on my way to subscribe and then i saw that bts poster and we stan, ready for binge watchin
This video was so thorough and thoughtful! Thank you for the dedication put into making this SUCH an informative video. I recently got a camera and watching this made me excited for future possibilities! Definitely subscribing! ❤ It is inspiring to see that you did this at such a young age
I felt like it was me who was talking 😂 cuz definitely this is my story too I am 17 now and I started my career when I was 15....and also you are doing a great job❤❤❤
THANK YOU!!! i’ve been doing photography as a hobby for a couple years now and my instagram page is growing so more people are asking to do shoots but I didn’t know how to charge!! thank youu
Thank god I came across your channel. Every point answers every question of mine. Been doing photography for the 2 years now but never considered going full foot down with it. However, I think now I'm ready and your video, definitely helped! So... a massive thank you!
i literally cannot express how grateful i am for this video. i don’t think anyone has come close to lending this much advice in any of the the videos i’ve watched & i feel so much more confident now to go and get started :)
My friends are also amateur photographers and we double as each other's models, so I definitely can't charge them. Even if I did, then they'd charge me too so there would be literally zero profit lol
you have no idea how helpful this was!!! i've been doing sports photography for two years now, but have found a love for portraiture and would like to take it to the next level. this video is exactly what i was looking for and needed. thank you so so much!
After watching 15 videos on this subject I finally found one that clicked…. Yours! I’m not a teenager, lol but I am looking at it from that angle as being so new to the process that everything out talk about I needed to hear! Thank you I’m now a subscriber and I look forward to watching more. Great work!
I think you are extremely talented. This video has a lot to say but it's also very simple and understandable. Great work! You are a great speaker. I've seen this video few weeks ago but came here just now to write this comment, because I always think of this when I see someone talking on youtube not so good that I start loosing track of what he/she is saying or when they do it in a complicated way. Keep doing the great work. 🙃
Holy shit am I glad I found this video. I'm a recent photography graduate from OCAD U and I don't know if it's just me but I felt that I only learned half of what I needed to know. It is definitely more of a conceptual school but for what I'm paying, I'd like to learn how to set up a business/career in what I'm learning. Anywho, absolutely amazing and heavily informative. I'll be re-watching as I grow more into my career. Thank you!!
I have always loved taking photos and capturing moments but never thought i could turn that into a job. I get statements all the time from friends and family telling me i should become a photographer because they love the pictures i take with just my iPhone 11 and with very basic editing. So that’s why Im here. this video was sooo informative, well planned, and organized. Thank you!
I’m doing the same thing and we literally had the same method of setting up the business! You had some really good ideas with the low res photos to the client to see which ones they like, time saver!! And I also like the idea with constantly updating the website for a more professional feel! Awesome video and I’ll be subscribing!!
P.S. I to started with and still use my D5200, I have upgraded to a D750 but I do still always bring me trusty D5200 as my back up and it has saved me multiple times! I have had my D750 have issues or the batteries have issues and then BAM D5200 has never failed me yet
Oh my gosh, I LOVE this video! You are so so sooo smart. I'm 24, and have been shooting photos for almost ten years now, and I cannot even tell you how many little tips and tricks I learned from you just now. I appreciate this so much!!

“Focus on developing your skills first. Not buying new equipment.” Love this! ❤️❤️
The Bliss Bean you’re welcome 😊
At my school seniors pay 350$ for senior photos that aren’t even worth the money, I really thank you so much for this advice
My sister paid well over $1000 for hers!
I’m based in the UK, what would our versions of ‘senior portraits’ be over here do you know?
I don't want to be negative but my friends would be the last people to pay 100$, because I've taken photos of them for free they would not do it if I charged.
That was your first mistake but dont regret it cuz if they are your true friends they will support you 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
You’re providing a service for them even at $100 you are giving them a great deal compared to most in the example of senior pictures. Photography is a skill and I think we can agree are equipment and skill is worth a lot.
Even if you dont feel like charging $100 then charge $20, $50, $70 it doesn’t matter (if you’re not supporting yourself on your own that is) never charge free, but also don’t do as much as you would if you were charging $100 (example: shooting for 6 hours and editing/retouching 50 photos for people) its a decent way to charge and start increasing from there
Me too I do photography for free for my friends plus there editing and sometime I’m like so confused about it
My problem is people have photos and phones at their hands so don’t see the point to pay for proper photography :(
Proof that the 50mm prime is really one of the best lens that one photographer can own, regardless of skill.. Nice video :)
the sweet spot betwen too wide or too long
The 50mm has perfect proportions and can been tricky to use with a crop sensor but definitely will make one of the best improvements to anyone’s work! All you have to understand is aperture and at least shoot in aperture priority!!
I feel so stupid that I did not get one at the beginning! It is basically a savior :(
Am I right in thinking that a 50mm on a cropped body would actually be roughly an 80mm?
@@davimatheson She is using a Nikon D5200, which has a crop factor of 1.5, so her focal length is 50mm x 1.5 = 75mm.

This is the EPITOME of tutorials on starting a photography business! And it's FREE! 😱 I'm shooketh!!! You got a new fan 💪🏻
I started out doing photography as well when I was in highschool, and up till now I'm still trying to work out my system with rates, workflow, etc. Saved this vid for future reference when I get the time to work on my business!
P.S. *sees your memory card with just the adapter/micro sd card*
You better get a dslr dedicated sd card. Micro sd cards in dslrs are more prone to corruption :)
@@TheBlissBean using a micro sd card is mostly used for like smartphones and such. So yup, I prefer you get yourself an sd card that's built for dslrs and not those with the micro sd adapters
wow thanks so much for this video! I'm 19 and I really love photography but I never knew you could actually turn this into a full time business!!
Omg, i wish i could live in a developed country :( if I charge 99 dollars here, no one would come, it's too pricey. 50 dollars maybe, but never 99 for just a photoshoot and editing. Different worlds I guess. Btw, loved the video
:((
Arantza M yeah i feel that, growing up somewhere rough, theres no way to be able to charge a good amount
girl ..they will not even pay me 20 dollars ..like i'm gonna do.
Wow. I’m 24 years old and getting started with photography and found this extremely helpful. Even down to the workflow because that’s mostly what I needed tips on. I have loads of projects that I started on in 2019/2020 with my friends and in and I work full time and wasn’t sure how to organize myself or how to get photos out to my peeps in organized fashion and not in the next month lol. I wanted to master this before I started looking for clients so that way I am more professional with it. Thank you so much for this !!!
Thank you for this! This helped me so much. I’m a freshman in high school and I want to be the photographer at school that everyone knows to go to! I already have an Instagram, have been doing photography for about two years but just started my business. I’m only on my 2nd practice shoot, out of 5, but since it’s summer......I’ll have so much time and hopefully a lot of people will be interested! Thanks for all the information!! I’m starting out pricing low because I want people to know I can do good work before I charge a ton and they don’t like what I did.
That’s so cool! How have you been doing photo shoots while maintaining social distancing?
This was the most comprehensive how to stay a photography business video I've seen so far! Like from scratch lol thank you!
Aw yay so happy I could help, Amy!
This is phenomenally helpful. Such a great resource. Thank you for this!
You have been more helpful than some of the videos out there with millions of views!! Thank you.
Can't thank you enough for such a detailed video.
I love how driven you are, Beatrice. You deserve all the success you’ve earned so far. Thanks for the tips!
thank you so much this video help me realize that my photography business can be a reality.
when the clock switched to 10:17 at the exact same time that she said two and held her fingers up 😳😂
This is amazing information. You’re providing valuable content that literally tops a lot of photography/ videography classes that are overpriced. Mark my words you’re going far 👍🏽

This was sooooo helpful and I’m not even a teenager. Definitely will pass this on to fellow upcoming photographers!! I’m a official subscriber !
This video was so thorough and thoughtful! Thank you for the dedication put into making this SUCH an informative video. I recently got a camera and watching this made me excited for future possibilities! Definitely subscribing! ❤ It is inspiring to see that you did this at such a young age
I'm excited that you're excited, hahaha! Best of luck 🤗
I’m 29 and learned so much from this so thank you miss lady for sharing your experience
This is hella relatable 😂 good stuff dude keep up the good work!
I use to be a model and now I am on the other side of the camera. I am loving it and thank you for all the tips you share.
I felt like it was me who was talking 😂 cuz definitely this is my story too I am 17 now and I started my career when I was 15....and also you are doing a great job❤❤❤
This is hands down, the best video on CZcams about this!!! I seen too many videos on this and they don’t even come close to you!! 😇👌
You did this video so well and the information is so useful 👏🏾👏🏾
THANK YOU!!! i’ve been doing photography as a hobby for a couple years now and my instagram page is growing so more people are asking to do shoots but I didn’t know how to charge!! thank youu
That was SO helpful and I feel the SAME way about the whole preset thing :\
I’m 21 and have bee in photography since I was 13 and this video has helped me so much thank you for sure s, gonna start my photography business now.
This vid made me do all I liked it subscribe, shared it to my friends and commented on it 😂 lol. Thanks again...
Thank god I came across your channel. Every point answers every question of mine. Been doing photography for the 2 years now but never considered going full foot down with it. However, I think now I'm ready and your video, definitely helped! So... a massive thank you!
I charged $40 😭 I didn’t know I could charge it almost to $100
This is BY FAR the most informative video I've seen about starting a photography business! Thanks so much for sharing, so inspiring!!
oo girl i see that love yourself poster in the back 👀 u gonna go to their tour?
This video is so useful! You're the first person who talks about that in depth on CZcams. I'm in the same situation as you, so thank you!
Ok, I LOVE this, and her.
But now I love everything 100x more!
Does anybody else see the BTS poster behind her??😍❤❤🙃🔥
I have been wanting to start a career as a photographer but never knew where to start from, this was very helpful and my questions were answered.
Me: Army💜/ wants to get into photography.
Received good advice, noticed ‘Love Yourself’ poster, Subscribed👆🏾🔔💜
i literally cannot express how grateful i am for this video. i don’t think anyone has come close to lending this much advice in any of the the videos i’ve watched & i feel so much more confident now to go and get started :)
My friends are also amateur photographers and we double as each other's models, so I definitely can't charge them. Even if I did, then they'd charge me too so there would be literally zero profit lol
you have no idea how helpful this was!!! i've been doing sports photography for two years now, but have found a love for portraiture and would like to take it to the next level. this video is exactly what i was looking for and needed. thank you so so much!
I love this video! I am trying to improve in photography, can you make a video with your tips?💙
After watching 15 videos on this subject I finally found one that clicked…. Yours! I’m not a teenager, lol but I am looking at it from that angle as being so new to the process that everything out talk about I needed to hear! Thank you I’m now a subscriber and I look forward to watching more. Great work!
so happy this was useful! thanks for commenting 🙃
7 minutes in and then i saw the BTS poster and was like OMG SHES an army!! 😂😭
we stan a gal who knows the worth of her creative work!!
My problem is getting my work out there 😔
I think you are extremely talented. This video has a lot to say but it's also very simple and understandable. Great work! You are a great speaker. I've seen this video few weeks ago but came here just now to write this comment, because I always think of this
when I see someone talking on youtube not so good that I start loosing track of what he/she is saying or when they do it in a complicated way. Keep doing the great work. 🙃
I was sorta distracted watching when the clock in the background would change time
Holy shit am I glad I found this video. I'm a recent photography graduate from OCAD U and I don't know if it's just me but I felt that I only learned half of what I needed to know. It is definitely more of a conceptual school but for what I'm paying, I'd like to learn how to set up a business/career in what I'm learning. Anywho, absolutely amazing and heavily informative. I'll be re-watching as I grow more into my career. Thank you!!
You remind me of Rory Gilmore
I have always loved taking photos and capturing moments but never thought i could turn that into a job. I get statements all the time from friends and family telling me i should become a photographer because they love the pictures i take with just my iPhone 11 and with very basic editing. So that’s why Im here. this video was sooo informative, well planned, and organized. Thank you!
oh hey, i didnt see you there 😂XD IM DEAD
I’m doing the same thing and we literally had the same method of setting up the business! You had some really good ideas with the low res photos to the client to see which ones they like, time saver!! And I also like the idea with constantly updating the website for a more professional feel! Awesome video and I’ll be subscribing!!
STOP IT!! ...lol ...I went and looked at your work. CHARGE MORE !! :P
P.S. I to started with and still use my D5200, I have upgraded to a D750 but I do still always bring me trusty D5200 as my back up and it has saved me multiple times! I have had my D750 have issues or the batteries have issues and then BAM D5200 has never failed me yet
Oh my gosh, I LOVE this video! You are so so sooo smart. I'm 24, and have been shooting photos for almost ten years now, and I cannot even tell you how many little tips and tricks I learned from you just now. I appreciate this so much!!
I can say that this got me motivated to get a little seriously now with my photography thank you.😊
Instagram: @Vas era
How don’t you have over 100k subs!? You’re so concise, and detailed oriented. You got straight to the point and saved me so much time!
So your a teen who wants to start a photography business. Me: a 11 year old “uh yeah ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)”
