About Me

A photographer sees the world from behind the lens of a camera. For him, the entire world is in shades of black and white or sepia. A photographer needs to appreciate the beauty that surrounds him, because anything that we see during the normal course of our day and which, we tend to ignore can be transformed by a photographer in the most beautiful picture. A true photographer is essentially an artist; he always tries to find the perfect setting for a photo in apparently commonplace things too. This applicant has got experience conducting outdoor photo shoots outdoor as well as model portfolios. Anyone can use this sample without any sort of second thoughts.

My Business

One of the keys to not merely surviving but flourishing as a photographer is to develop multiple income streams. Professional photographers I engage with who are struggling for the resources to follow their passion are often battling because they have just one or two income streams and they seem stuck there. They do not seem to have the vision for anything broader and, if they do see other income streams, they often feel it is a denigration of their creative soul to be earning an income in such a way.

Loan Proposal

I wanted to maintain my value proposition while getting paid more. So I reduced the hours of coverage in my standard offering, removed the second photographer, removed the engagement session, and increased the price. Effectively increasing my rate by about 50%, but the client only saw about half of it on the “sticker” price. Additionally, my average client investment increased. This is huge because my higher packages have only incrementally higher time and material costs.
