3 years ago you answered my question in a Q&A as to why you’re not gate keeping, glad that mentality hasn’t changed even though SO MUCH has in these three short years. Loved these tips and the lighting, stay warm out there!
Ya that won’t change. I’m an open book brother! Hope you’re doing well 👊🏼👊🏼
Don‘t be a jerk is the best tip ever! I had contact with a popular landscape photographer in my country and out of nothing he was a jerk to me. Of course he is doing workshops etc. I am not talking shit about people, but if someone asks me I would never ever recommend him. Or book a workshop from him. He has damaged his business without realizing it 🤷🏼♀️
Ya that’s tough! Your personality in many ways is your brand on social media. Being kind goes a long way in working with other human beings haha.
"Always be kind, friendly etc, don’t be a jerk, you’re selling yourself" - that’s the best bit of advice anyone can use and it applies to any form of business and life itself. It’ll take you a long way. Great content and advice here - thanks for the post. 🙏🏾
Awesome video, man! I'm not an automotive photographer by any means but I can definitely say that tips #1 and #5 are hugely beneficial to ANY kind of photographer, or entrepreneur in general. It's a long road and if you don't have the passion to get you through the difficult times you'll probably burn out real quick.
Thanks for watching Levi, and ya hopefully some of these points translate well into other niches as well so thanks for pointing that out. 👊🏼
Thank you for the tips, just starting my automotive photography journey and I can't wait to see how far it'll take me.
Great video! Thank you so much for your videos, they help with my business!
Really glad YT suggested your stuff. After watching a few of your videos today I have definitely learned a few things that I need to change. I did see that I already do a lot of what you suggest (have been doing this as a hobby for quite a while now) which made me feel good. Your IG tip about how the car lands on my IG page I definitely need to fix and work on going forward. Until I saw you point that out in this and your other video about IG I didn't notice or think about that. Would love other critiques on my work if you do another video like that in the future.
Thanks!, this helped me so much 🎉
Love your work mate, great perspective on the Automotive Photography world. I've watched your channels grow over the last few years and you've really inspired me to make some changes that I know will impact my path going forward within the content creation space. Your engagement with your community is something that stands out to me, willingness to share your insights and overall transparency with just how tough this industry can be. Keep doing what you're doing, I for one can't wait to see where your journey takes you in the years to come. Keep at it brother!
Hey man! Thanks for an intentional comment here. It’s stuff like this that keeps me, and creators like me excited to create content that helps others. I don’t gain much, sometimes nothing from sharing stuff like this other then growing a likeminded community. Just glad to play my part and help someone else along who wants to do what I do. 👊🏼
Excited about this years potential. 🙌🏼
Thank you for this video 👏🏼 i already made some mistakes as a beginner and now I’m starting to understand also because of this video
I needed to hear that! I was stressing with the fact I wasn’t getting work
Thanks for sharing all this info with us now I can share it with someone else
Thank you for sharing this information, Also love your hoodie!
My pleasure! And I like it too 😃 thanks!
Thank you for all your tips! I appreciate your videos. Please keep them coming 💙
No plans to stop 👊🏼
Another great, informative video Alex, thank you. You've helped me immensely over the last few years and its great that you keep giving these insights and tips
You’ve been a great support yourself man! I appreciate you always showing up and encouraging me on the journey as well. Means a lot man 👊🏼
Great video dude and awesome tips! Really inspiring to see how you've progressed in that time!
I appreciate you my dude! Thanks! Just gotta keep moving forward, we’ll see where it takes me. 😃
Thanks for the videos, I’m quite beginner at 16, just got my second camera a Canon M6 Mark 2 with a 22mm f2 and it’s always amazing to watch you.
Great information
You’ve been putting out some really helpful content lately. Thanks for this one
My pleasure mate! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for always helping the new photographers!! Such an inspiration for me especially being from Canada as well!
Amazing! We have a particular challenge here in Canada that they don’t have in some of the more southern places… it’s called winter! Haha. Slows us down a little but we power through. 👊🏼 Thanks for watching!
Yes we do!! Keep doing what your doing!!🤙
As always. Your information is always helpful. Thank You.
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. 🙌🏼 Glad you found it helpful 👊🏼
That lighting though. Awesome video Alex!

Ya?? Digging the new office space? I’m loving it so far!
so grateful for your channel, especially this video, im a big car guy and im getting into photography. thankfully its my passion and wanted my camera for a while just for me, and i am not super interested in making it a career, but rather as art
That’s the best place to start man. Passion all the way. Hopefully some day you can enjoy the fruits of passion and hard work 👊🏼
Great Knowledge ✨❤️
Dude… absolutely awesome video 🤩🔥 And I 100% agree with all of these lessons, insanely valuable advice! It was so awesome to hear that you and I think about this whole photography and content creation space in such a similar way as well! Thank you for all you do and for the mention at the end! Hope to meet you and create some cool content together in the future! If you’re ever in Melbourne or Australia in general definitely reach out 😊🫶
I love the way you approach this stuff too mate. Thrilled to see you succeeding in a different way then I am, and would love to connect and be able to share your insights with the community!
If you wanna come to Canada too you’re always welcome!
Learned a lot from your channel ❤❤❤
Love hearing it. Thanks for the positive feedback. 👊🏼
Is there a vedio where you talk about starting off gear? I've been looking at cameras and so many options. What would be a good recommendation or requirements for automotive photography?
You’re the best!! ❤
😘
love it!
👊🏼
Amazing tips as always.
So it's not bad to draw inspiration from others in professional work? Or try and recreate or "mimic" what others did in the early stages?
Great tips! How do you go about getting access to or even finding a suitable location that complements the car?
Cool hoodie 🕊️ and an awesome video 🦾
Thanks homie ✌🏼🫶🏼
Thanks for all your insightful comments and advice
No worries! 👊🏼
"Fantastic tutorial on car photo editing! 🚗✨ The techniques you shared really enhance the car's visual appeal. Thanks for the insightful tips! 📸 #CarEditingMastery #AutomotiveArtistry"
great video like always!
Thanks brother. Hopefully helpful!
@@TheCarCreative helpful and very motivating
How did you get access to the airport hanger/ how do you get access to cool locations?
great video brother.
Thanks so much! 🙏🏼
Thank you so much
My pleasure!!
It's a hard world but I'm sure the ones working well will go far
Thanks! This should help me a lot. I'm a 15 year old starting out
Amazing! Make sure to go watch the podcast I did in my last video also! Great for setting up your Instagram in a way you can actually make money! Start early and you’ll be set up for success in the long run.
@@TheCarCreative Thanks, will do! Its also hard for me to get out and look for shoots on my own being only 15 and not having my license yet so as of now, I have to rely solely on car meets. And unfortunately, where i live, they don't start until march. :(
Nice lol the R33 you clicked on is one of my shots, shot it in Toulouse, France 8:26
Oh heck ya! Love that! 🙌🏼
@@TheCarCreative appreciate that mate - good advice 👌🏻
Great video. I would suggest car shows. An easy place to meet people and take photos of their cars. Usually they end up saying yes. Build off there.
Awesome input! It’s a great place to start for sure!
bro love the hoody
Me too man. A gift from a great company but resonates with me big time.
Thanks for watching! 👊🏼
@@TheCarCreative where can I get one? Such an awesome testimony 👊🏼😎
I wish I could do photography as a job but it seems impossible realistically atm... Of course I won't stop because it's my passion but idk how to start a real career and it's depressing... (btw the music is a bit loud but nice video)
Check out the video I linked at the end! It’s perfect for aspiring photographers who want to work with brands and get paid!
@@TheCarCreative I did but weirdley I find it complicated and gave me even more anxiety for my future
I tried downloading the files but only two work, by chance does anyone know how to fix that?
Hey mate. Just saw this. I’ll work on a fix in the morning. Apologies! Thanks for watching though, hopefully you found it helpful.
4:35 is literally GTA VI
That day was amazing for sure. Thanks for watching! 👊🏼
yoooooo
👋🏼
The video hangs up at 2:02
Hey! Curious what “hangs up” means. Maybe it can help me in future videos. Thanks for clicking and watching.
@@TheCarCreativevideo and audio cutout.
Bro, where's the Ugly photos of Real State? and the bad Drone videos?
Honestly this is the first CZcams video that inspired me to keep working on my photography:)
