Thank you once more for an outstanding video! The way you addressed each question with practical advice and real-word examples is exactly the kind of content photographers need to refine the business aspect of their craft, me included. Keep up the fantastic work. 👍

영상 도움 많이 되었습니다. 감사합니다!!! :-)

So glad you decided to make this channel. I really needed this

Already on day 2!

when they are paying for the studio, does that include you and your equipment or just the space?

What is the best set up for the shoot,,is it good the aperture

Applying this asap! Thank you

Hi Walid! I have a question. I truly experienced this when I told a lady my rate for a headshot session. She did exactly what you said, trying to come down to 1/2 hour. However I'm conflicted, as my headshot sessions only take 30mins to an hour *advertised as an hour* for an individual. Am I unable to sell that as a package (just in an hour), or do I need to come up in the timeframe and add more to the experience? Sorry if I'm not fully grasping the concept! I Mightve gotten too used to cheapos near me for your same reason disclosed. Love your videos! ❤

This video is amazing! Been to a lot of those spots and definitely can feel how cinematic they are. 🔥 let me know if you need a buddy to go with next shoot! 💯💯💯

no wonder a low budget film costs millions .

Well and wisely put

Thank you for this video brotha ❤

When I shoot for NBC, they get everything... However this is all discussed upfront and in the contract. I use this analogy, if I was the cameraman for the the movie titanic, do I get the raw footage? But hey everyone, this guy is legit, I agree with 99.5% of what he says and the other 0.5% is just difference clients and situations.

Not much evidence when most of it was buried and burned

Thanks, but your video is misleading, the title says that it is about Dazz camera and it is supposed to be shot on Dazz cam, but in fact your video was shot on phone without Dazz camera. only pictures from Dazz cam..

I learned so much through this entire video! 😌✨👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Thank you for your kindness and showing us how to run our business 😎😎

The pro tip of offering extra time as opposed to always offering a cut in price was such a gem.

Walid once again coming with his gems!!! Your videos feel like I’m getting a free one on one call where I’m getting all these tips 🎉🎉🎉 thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos and help to counteract the gate keeping in the industry 💗💗💗

Thank you for doing this. Living all my life in San Fernando myself and have been wishing to do cit shots of LA since getting back into photography but always nervous about where to go this helps a bunch.

Hi! Is the STEP Pricing course included in your Masterclass packages (a photography pricing module is listed but it's unclear if it's the STEP course or something different). Reaching out here because I couldn't find a contact form on the website. Best.

do you mostly use lightroom or capture one? or both?

Another great video, as always, filled with practical advise from you experiences. I don’t know why your not more popular, I hope to see you as one of the top RUclips photographers soon.

If you don’t have the budget you can always get a M43 camera like an Olympus PL8 and a pancake 17 m… smaller and cheaper. Nice one Walid.

When it comes to this effect, usually you want it to be very dreamy. Cheaper filters will be dreamier and often better value for money. You don't want sharp with these filters because that is not their point.

Great info.

Congratulations brother 🎉

On it. Thank you for everything. I'm so glad Ive found this amazing content

Thank you Walid

Gold!

In the RUclips photo circles, Walid's videos are a 100% watch. In the cinematography circles, Luc Forsyth videos are a 100% watch. Both creators speak straight business, straight from the heart, and straight from experience. No BS, no fluff, just what you need.

Thank you so much for this, you've encouraged me to redo my website. My last one was on format and it was awful, and they pawned me off to squarespace.

Your videos always pump me up and get a little more confident every time i tune it, i love the blunt honesty to yourself and to us the viewers… i personally feel like you are the realest photographer without the superficial hype that comes along with the title of your status

Spot on advice, Walid. I think you summed up the need for people who take time for themselves once in awhile. By the way, that Jackfruit in your basket at that market looked like it was the perfect amount of ripe.😊

Love you Walid! You always keep it real! So inspiring! Again congratulations on Vanity Fair, you so deserve it! And you should be so proud to represent your homeland

I would not even had mentioned Skid Row bruh ...you trying to get fooos killed? hahah When you say don't that means GO to 99.9% of people lol.

i never owned a studio, but I've been a monthly renter and you video reminded me of why the studio owner did what he did at times Depending on the city and location, I never thought about havin to pay for parking as well!

Congratulations Whalid! And also good advice. Thank you for sharing.

Walid, this video was very informative for me. I’ve been working on hard on a local level to get my name known as a portrait photographer and I’ve done that. I do want to move into the commercial side. I have a team I use for my clients, and I would like to know how do I even get my foot in the door? To get the decision makers to know I am here?

Congrats Walid! Amazing job, I feel really moved when see a person I respect triumph as you did on this project.

This is a free coaching session right there :) Thanks Walid !

Walid! I thank you in advance for all my success once I get started as a creative. You truly give value and I have a feeling that you help me avoid mistakes I haven't even made yet just because you create all of this content. I love that you always come from a place of honesty and helping your peers, and I have a feeling that collectively we are destroying the gatekeeping and the "I'll step over you to get this opportunity" mentality. Thank you! Great video as always <3

As a commercial photographer and a former model I have concluded that a customer doesn't care about your gear. They care about the final results. So, rule #1 is to always use gear you are absolutely familiar with.
