    I see a lot of negative comments on this video saying that those advices were poor marketing advices etc and how handing your clients cards is not gonna do anything for your business and what not... but.
    Seriously, I am in the business as a portrait/lifestyle photographer and this is *pure gold*. Some folks around here need to chill out on their expectations and actually *listen* to what masters like Pete are saying... maybe the title of the video is wrong or whatever but this is SO important.
    The best marketing tool you have is your clients' experiences. He is damn right in that. A lot of people spend time building their IG and all but first of all you gotta build your people skills and then you're going to see one client recommending you to another then to another etc etc and it's just gonna be snowballing! Anyway, I love this guy.

    Getting clients for photography is all about being able to showcase the feeling for your clients before the purchase. Having the expectation set high on the feeling and not on the service allows for us as the photographer to go above and beyond to exceed expectations (without pressure or over promising) and have the client be in an all around better mood about the process. Talk to the client above being able to cherish the captured moment not see a beautiful print (although nice). This is what our channel is about leveraging passion for profit from a marketing standpoint and we just dropped a video on this topic! I did enjoy how you described reading and catering to the energy of your client, while business cards are great we feel strongly about leveraging the digital age we live in to drive more clients! Thanks for the video!

    Hey Peter, I am a retired businessman and amateur photographer . I bought your first headshot tutorial about 4 years ago and it made me a MUCH better photographer. Even though I don't charge for my photography (mostly I shoot family & friends), I get an enormous amount of satisfaction being able to get great headshots. Thanks!
    One question: why did you give up your Hasselblad? I've been a Nikon shooter for years and love my Nikon gear (still shoot Nikon for sports and action) but I bought an X1D last year and have fallen in love with the results. This is particularly true once you commit an image to paper. The color fidelity & resolution and shade edge transition are simply over the top. You can even use your old H series lenses with the X1D using the inexpensive XH adapter. You might want to investigate this first-of-its-kind mirrorless medium format camera.

    So basically to get people in the door in the first place, hand out business cards and put stickers in key places. You have to get them in the door first before you do the personality thing, that is after they come thru the door. Good info Peter, but nothing different than what others say to promote business which according to the area, may not even work. We or I need to know how to get them into the door.

      @Usualeclectic Před 5 lety

      Denise Houk for real... this just reminds that a photographer is not usually trained in sales, marketing, branding or packaging. Nor are we very good at being off the cuff and pre-qualifying the client or even showcasing social proof. How do we disrupt this industry?

    • @Usualeclectic
      @Usualeclectic Před 5 lety

      Emmanuel Guillermo I agree... let’s just cover the clickbait title that marketing in this video is more like after-sales (he doesn’t even mention a follow up). It starts with pre-qualifying the client of course. Their video is basic that’s all and shows more of a user interface ad for Moo. I wish there were better videos showcasing actual marketing techniques instead of the basics. Like how to engage with new clients when you are in the street or at a party. This is really hard for most service based business owners. Not to mention a website that engages a message within 3-seconds of visiting your site. Also showing off things like video testimonials and social proofing like having a annual party for all your clients. Look outside your industry for ways to disrupt your industry and realize the best marketer always wins. How will the influence your customer acquisition cost? Man these are new school thoughts not even being talked about here.

      The closer the light, the softer the light will look. The transitions between highlight and shadow will be softer, but you will also get a lot of fall off so you can easily make one side of the face too dark while the other is perfectly exposed. If you move the light back, the subject will be lit evenly (less fall off) but your shadows will become sharper and harsher. -P
