Flash Photography For Wedding Receptions: 1 Light Setup VS 2 Light Setup
Great discussion. I moved from KY to Louisiana and I lowered my prices to pull clients. Once I finessed the market enough, I slowly moved my prices back up. Doing that allowed me to work with a good amount of influential clients.
Great story. I also quit my 8-5 job in June to begin freelance work in design and construction. But I’ve also been a photographer and cinematographer since I was a kid. I really enjoy your videos and inspiration. Love the creative energy!
Nice! Good luck with your new journey!
Its important to learn the rules and understand them, so that you know why and when to break them.
💯
Thank you so much Adrian! ❤ You really inspired me with your journey and motivated me to pursue my dreams! I can do it 🎉
You're welcome! ❤️
Nice
Thanks!
Brother this is what’s gone be rocking in my car for a long time.
💯🙌
Great video, bro. I can honestly relate to almost everything you've said. I work 13 hr shifts in a chemical plant and have been juggling my family, product reviews, location reviews, photography, creating for social media, and trying to stay active in the gym. It becomes overwhelming at times. Ultimately, I want to get away from working for anyone else for all the reasons you've stated. I had to pull away from social media, just so I could prepare myself and focus on my mission.
Thanks for sharing, bro. Yeah, it's definitely a grind juggling everything..but you're putting in the work💪 It will pay off. Keep grinding!
I love the way to explain. You make sure excuses are set aside and people do the work.Thanks for the simple and great advice😊
THE pep talk of the year ! Thank you for sharing your story
Thanks for watching!
inspiring video bro, im tryna reach that point too man when I can quit the 9to5 and do what I really like full-time , looking forward to more videos teaching us to do so
Thanks, brother!
Dont know how i ran across your channel just randomly looking up cameras at 11:30p.m., literally not in my field of work at all but man i needed to hear this story more then anyone and im not even subscribed. Appreciate the time, words, and story bruh. It was much needed. God definitely works in mysterious ways.
You're welcome! Thanks for listening 🤝
Great video, straight to the point!
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your experience! I'm in the dabbling phase now. Building skills, seeing what kinds of content I enjoy creating, opening my mind to the possibility of going all in at some point.
You're welcome! Keep creating and building...you got this!
I've been following you for a minute. I really enjoy your videos... so inspiring, educational and just great content. Love to see it. I really resonated with "I have seen the potential of what I could do if I had the time" and the "I want more for myself". Love it!! Good luck and hopefully I'll make the leap and be on that creative freelance entrepreneur journey soon, too! Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks so much for your comment! You can do it too...just keep working!
You really inspire me! This is awesome. <3
Thanks...glad to hear that I could inspire you! ☺️
Congrats man
Thanks man...I appreciate that🤝
Still around brother!! The business is good. Glad to see you back in my feed!!! Can’t wait to see more about your journey!
Thanks brother! Glad to hear the business is good🙌
Your videos are definitely interesting!
I'm new to your channel. Because of an ass of husband Ive been kind of forced to figure out how me and my 3 special needs kids are gonna make it on our own. I tore down his home gym and am going to try to have a in-home photography studio specifically for special needs kids. I have about 3 grand worth of stuff sitting in my Amazon cart. Debating on getting a new camera body because I'm not feeling my DSLR is good enough. Maybe you and your wife could think about also doing photography consultation via zoom calls for beginners like me. Luckily, I do know my way around the creative suite. I feel like I need guidance into my expectations with this business. I'm in Houston. Even though I'm new it's nice to see you back.
Hey. I'm in College Station, so I'm close to you. Would love to hop on a call. Email me, and we can set something up adrianlard08@gmail.com
@@AdrianLardPhoto yes!!!! 🙌
that is awsume u r taking photos again. great shots by the way :)
Thanks, I appreciate that!
I really love that notion about not forcing things, and letting them come to you naturally. I knew going in that I wanted to do paid photography, but I didn't want to just launch that with no direction. Found the niche, and now I'm getting clients here and there. Glad to see you back in the saddle and creating with a good mindset!
Thanks! I've definitely been doing some deep mindset work. And I feel you on launching with no direction. I'm all for jumping into things, but I like to have some kind of plan or bigger goal, ya know.
What’s up bro. It’s great to see you back. I shot natural light for the first ten years of my photography journey so I still like to throw in some natural light shoots on occasion. Viltrox has really been dropping some gems.
What's up brother. Hope you're doing well. Yeah, I've shot natural light for like my past 5 shoots, lol. I've been enjoying it.
@AdrianLardPhoto it's been great on my end bro. Yea the work flow of shooting natural light is unbeatable.
Good to see you back! Do you have another channel for your other content you do full time for
Yes, I do. It's called 'Adrian Lard Creative'
👍💙
also, nice terrariums
Thanks!
Appreciate the transparency
Yes sir🤝
Good to see you back, champ! 🫵🏾💪🏾
Thanks man! Trying to get that consistency back.
@@AdrianLardPhoto I feel you. I’m learning to compartmentalize My photography business picked up but at a pretty crucial time period in my life. Balancing can be tough at times.
😢
What color paper do you suggest for someone just starting? Black, white, and…?
@@JeremiahsJourney08 Hi. I would say black or white. I think I started out with a black backdrop.
@@AdrianLardPhoto thank you. How would this work if my spare room has carpet? Everyone’s home studio that I’ve seen has hardwood or a hard surface. 😫
@@JeremiahsJourney08 You're welcome! I wouldn't worry about it unless you're shooting full body images.
Bruh I'm just starting the video and got too impatient to wait until the end before I comment 😂. I love your transparency!!! Y'all keeping it 💯. I agree with you and your wife, anything that takes time anyway from your family life, it can cause issues. Yeah, we need money, but we need to maintain a happy and productive life with our loved ones too. I applaud your wife for bringing that up. I pray for your joy peace, and success in whatever you all do. Okay Bruh, I'm back to the video 😂.
This was dope! Thank you!!
Nice work!
Omg!!!! Please tell me you didn't hang it up. I pray that this is click bait. I'll watch the video when I get a break. This heading is heartbreaking
GREAT HELP
How much do you charge for travel?
It depends on how far I'm driving.
20 years ago when I shot weddings, I did that same thing. Can make some cool backlit images in otherwise boring receptions.
Thank you😊
I basically waited until my client offered to pay... That was about a year and then my photography started getting good. My prices went from nothing to $60 when I had my first paying client to $75 for 20 min mini sessions and $225 for an hour session
I just learned you should use the word deposit or nonrefundable deposit. A retainer is money that still belongs to the client and is held in escrow or trust by you. Thanks for the nice video.
Thank you :)
❤❤❤❤ thank you Straight to the point
