    Hi Friends! I'm Dean, a filmmaker, photographer, entrepreneur, and nature lover from Cape Town, South Africa. I now live in the US creating and exploring. I create videos that help creatives break the system and find creative, financial, and geographic freedom. Because who wants to be trapped under someone else rules! I care about the planet, protecting our environment, the importance of travel, and being able to work for yourself and from anywhere.
    In between, I'll share my travels, experiences, thoughts on life, short films, and how I made them. This channel will be everything and anything ME. I'm interested in so many different things and this channel will reflect that:) I hope you enjoy it!

    To me, this is the essence of photography. It's not the gear, but the creative ways a photographer bends him or herself (and the camera) to achieve a great picture or video clip.

    +1 for all these. I've used the camera strap around the lens before seeing your vid. People I've taught laugh when I say the fall over or also I use the the lean back or fade away shot as I call it. Wish I was more confident on camera and didn't HATE the sound of my own voice as I've been doing photography and film for 10 years for myself and various companies and have loads of tips and tricks!

    • @alsaeijasim
      @alsaeijasim Pƙed 2 lety +3

      I've recently started getting into photography and film, but I feel like I don't have the confidence to actually put myself out there and do this to actually get paid. So any tips?

    • @JustinKrausePhotos
      @JustinKrausePhotos Pƙed 2 lety +2

      ​@@alsaeijasim Hi! I posted this reply a year or so ago from my wedding and portrait account. We are now doing all our commercial work under my commercial content brand @IMPACT20twenty (czcams.com/channels/wAfEB14F-Zzzaw5BdGiweg.html ) . If you're already good on a camera, editing, lighting etc then I guess a good tip to get started would be not to try to pitch too high and NEVER over commit or promise something you can't deliver. It's a surefire way to not get repeat business and those people might tell other people so you're shooting yourself in the foot from the off. Another tip would be to "Shoot what you love" so you stay in love with what you're shooting - don't just shoot something boring if you hate it (unless it pays very well ;-) . ) We love story telling, filming interviews for case studies and bigging up great brands or new startups. For us, seeing a business flourish because of what we've done to help them is one of the biggest buzzes!
      We started commercial shooting by getting touch with some local businesses that we saw needed help with their content. That first business was super happy with the work we did and told other businesses. If you keep getting happy clients the growth is exponential. We increased our client base 450% over the course of 2020, during covid. We were being safe, working safetly and consideratly, because we could (a lot of our work at the time was either outdoors, shooting in places where we were on our own or all the time 2m or more apart - a lot of it is also graphic and web design/web management work which we do remotely).
      If you want to learn HOW to shoot content or how to get into media production, my biggest tip would be to talk less, listen more :-) . By that, I'm not being rude, but essentially, have your eyes and ears open and absorb as much as you can from those oldies who have been doing it for years and haven't had time to post anything we do online, do vlogs/blogs on it all because we move from job to job to job constantly. Try to get in with a film or content creator and watch and learn - help carry kit at first and then absorb everything, constantly learning along the way; from how we set tripod and lighting heights based on how tall someoene is, down to the seemingly little things that can save kit (and lifes), like cable management (boring...yawn but if a client trips over a cable you're liable). I pay people to help carry and setup kit and then when on set they help monitor sound levels, keep an eye on battery levels, change lenses and batteries, setup gimbals and all the time being mindful about safety for us and the client. All of it is *how we do stuff*, it's not just how to take a good photo or film a great shot.
      Another tip, for when you get busy, is learn to say NO to clients. "No, I'm afraid we're too busy", is a powerful thing to say. Obviously, dont't do it if you aren't already flatout but if you are, don't over stretch yourself. Take it from me, it'll only lead to stress.
      Lastly.... be humble. The brash "YO, Hire me because I'm THA SHIT!" Might work for a couple people, but it doesnt wash with the majoroity of clients.
      Have I missed anything? I expect I have.... I'll put all that in a blog post sometime... when I get time.
