Night photography - quick tips - Canon

NIGHT CITYSCAPES:
LEARN FROM THE PROFESSIONALS. There're three things to remember if
you want to master night photography. You need to be thinking
about stability of the camera, the settings of the camera itself, and
also the optical quality of the lenses. Night time's set in, and,
for the best quality pictures, I'd always suggest
using the lowest ISO possible.

In combination with what's
going to be a slow shutter speed, I've got my
camera set to ISO 100. That requires my camera
to be completely stable. Use a cable release or
remote to isolate any movement away from the camera body
when depressing the shutter. Shoot on a prime lens,
or a good quality zoom lens.

For this shot I've
chosen a 50 mm to put an emphasis
on the city skyline. With regards to
aperture, I've gone for 5.6 As I know it's
pin-sharp on this 50 mm. Try manually focussing
on your point of interest using Live View at
maximum magnification. It's a great way to get
the best detail in your pictures.

But, remember to keep
the lens on manual focus. I've got my shutter
speed set at 8 seconds to capture this
great shot of the city and to place emphasis
on the dramatic sky. Working at night gives
you incredible flexibility. I'm now going to use
a faster shutter speed to shift the emphasis
onto the city lights.

Most scenes at night are a heady
mixture of different light sources. So you can, like exposure, make some creative
choices about white balance. By selecting Tungsten, the camera's going to correct
for all the warm tones in the picture, and I'm actually going to get quite
a bluey-green finish to the image. In contrast to the first
picture, by selecting Daylight, the image is going to
come out a lot warmer, and the lights are going to
have an orange glow to them.

I've moved to a busy part of the
city to shoot some moving traffic. With a slow shutter speed
it's going to leave light trails right across the frame. My priority here is shutter speed. I've got it set at 4
seconds on ISO 200 and F14, which gives me the correct exposure.

It's quite a long exposure, so I've still got my camera
on a tripod to keep it sharp. You can easily introduce
a subject into the foreground by adding in a bit of flash. The subject will be lit by a
burst of light from the flash. But they're going to
have to be really still, as I'm still doing that long
exposure for the light trails.

The camera's in manual
mode, so I've got full control. Shutter speed's at 2
seconds, aperture F11, ISO 200. Switch the flash on and make sure
your subject stands nice and still..

How to Use a Digital CameraDigital Photography Techniques

I am Chris Conklin on behalf of expertvillage.Com.
Now one of the big differences between the digital and a film camera is pretty much as
like I was talking about the digital takes the compact flash cards, which come in a variety
of different types depending upon the camera that you get versus film. Typically, film
is going to give you about 36 frames for a roll, digital can give you thousands. Another
advantage on a digital is you have the viewing screen on the back where you can look at your
picture pretty much right away. If you dont like it you can erase it and you can move
on.

What I typically do when I am out on a shoot is I will just go ahead shoot and then
bring all of the shots back in and then I. Can look at them in my photo editor, there
are a wide variety of different photo editors that you can use that are on the market depending
upon again, what you are looking for and what you want to do with it. Now, in the shot mode
you can go with single or you can go with multiple. I like to shoot in multiples, just
in case that may be I did not get the first shot that I wanted, it gives me an opportunity
to keep the button down and go into a multiple flash type of a unit.

As an example if I put
this on automatic take some pictures, just clicks away and keep clicking away until you
let your hand off the button or you have reached this maximum based on the setting and the
camera type. Typically, a camera like this would take 3-5 snaps per second depending
upon the settings you can take the burst of couple of dozen different pictures before
it kind of exhausts its power or needs to reset itself..

New York Film Academy Photography School in New York City

Hi, my name is Mohmed Memon, I'm from
India. My name is Michala, I'm from the Czech Republic. My name is Ana Maria del Castillo. My name is Alfonso Valderrama.

My name is Tatiana. My name is Dara Sepheri.
My name is Caroline. I'm from Honduras. And I came here to study photography.

I went to
college for advertising and graphic design. And I thought it was time for me to get a
formal education in photography. As a career path, it's very important to study it, to actually
know what you're doing, how you're doing it, and why you're doing it. The New York Film
Academy was the only one that really provided intensive courses.

And New York of course, New York
was the best. I thought it would be completely technical. I thought we'd stay in most of
the time and do mostly studio work. It's totally the opposite.

Since the beginning, like going
to galleries, studying other photographers. We went to many museums all over the city,
just photography exhibitions, art exhibitions, everything. All the classes in general, it
was very intensive. Classes like Shooting Lab, Photo I.

We learned about equipment,
lenses, flashes. I learned a lot about light. It's amazing what you can do with a photo,
how you can transform everything. And at the same time, a lot of different kind of softwares,
like Lightroom, Photoshop.

The imaging classes were great. Everyone had something different
to teach me. One of the things that I really liked about the New York Film Academy is the
fact that you have people from all over the world. All of our classmates are from completely
different cultures, completely different countries.

And getting to know them, it just opens your
mind to see what the world is really like. We had a lot of fun as a group. In all that
experience, everything come together. I definitely look at photography in a different way now.
Here I found I love more of the fine art part of my and exploring that side.

I want to do
more fashion shooting. I really like photojournalism. I need to be myself. I need to show what I
know.

I need to show what I want to say in my heart, in my photography. This experience
completely changed my life..

Mountain Photography (7 Powerful Tips)

Hey guys how's it going I hope
everyone's doing well I'm here today with seven powerful tips you can use
when photographing in the mountains I'm super excited for this video because
Mountain scenes are my absolute favorite type of landscape to photograph there's just
something so sublime about hiking and being in the mountains it's really
beyond words. The power - forces greater than we can possibly invoke. The
beauty - they can stop us dead in our tracks at first sight. The constant
change - from morning to night from one week to the next
there's new things to explore every time we visit.

They fill us with peace and
solace, with fear and exuberance and anyone who climbs them can't help but be
humbled in their presence. It's no wonder they pull in the heartstrings of many
hikers and landscape photographers. Mountains present a number of challenges
and things we need to plan for. More specific to hiking photographers, we have
to juggle with the regular requirements and gear such as the 10 essentials +
whatever camera gear we decided to bring balancing weight and mobility all the
while.

All the normal rules of landscape photography and composition apply, but
there are some unique challenges we are presented with when in the mountains. I'm continually finding ways to improve my own process and have compiled 7 tips you may find useful for your next trip, whether you're an absolute beginner or a
seasoned photographer, I hope you can take something away from it, so let's get
started. Tip number 1 - do the research ahead of
time. In the military we had a saying, "failing to plan is planning the fail" and
while the consequences typically aren't as severe with photography the same
sentiment can be said for photo trips.

Exploration on location is an important
part of the landscape photography process, but planning ahead can help you be in
the right general area at the right time. So before you even step out that door
make sure to research your destination and its current conditions. Research can
be divided into several categories: 1- finding a location. We covered how to
find a location using the social networking site meetup in the last video
which you can find in the description below.

2 - Hike research. Things like GPS
tracks and topo maps what type of pass we're going to need,
trail conditions, any hazards that we're going to come across, all these things
are important normal consideration anytime we're hiking in the backcountry.
3 - Photo research you'll want to check out sites like 500px.Com, Google
Earth and one of my personal favorites is to search the hashtag of the locations name
on Twitter and Instagram because that usually brings up more recent photos. By
doing this it will help us pre-visualize and pick the right gear.  You know we want to look for composition ideas, but at the end of day we want to make our own photo.
Finding unique original landscape perspectives to photograph is much more
enjoyable and much easier to get the creative juices flowing, so don't spend
too much time trying to track down the exact tripod holes of someone else's
shot.

4 - Weather; of course there's several sites and apps to get average
forecast at expected conditions. Mountain-Forecast.Com is one of my favorites
because you can set the elevation according to where you plan to go. 5 -
Light conditions: this is speaking directly to us as photographers. Of
course we want to know things like the sunrise and the sunset times the
moonrise the moon set times and the moon phase.

By knowing when both Sun the moon rises set and knowing their position and angle in the sky we'll be able to set up
our composition in a way that captures that dramatic light. We can use apps like
the photographer's ephemeris as well as Google Earth.  Tip number two, and for good reason: it's the two hour rule. You've most certainly already heard about the
golden hour and experienced it -  that magical time with dynamic light around
sunrise and sunset.

The problem is they call it the golden power not the golden
two hours or golden we don't know yet until we get there and find out but what
I find happens quite often is that photographers either show up too late or
leave too early and much of the magic that actually happens doesn't occur
right around the time of sunrise and sunset especially in the mountains.
The most difficult thing is being there, getting up for sunrise or sunset, managing the elements, waking up in the dark driving in the dark, hiking in the dark,
putting on a headlamp, getting out in the cold, managing all the different things that
are occurring, and even though Mother Nature doesn't always cooperate...All these biting flies, a perfect example of that I can't think of a single time that I've
regretted getting up. I follow the logic of the saying I'll sleep when I'm dead.
So just do it - you can make great, even amazing photos at any time but being
there during that changing light gives you a greater chance to create a more
dynamic scene. Unless you are at the summit where you can see out to the
horizon when you're in the mountain the Sun can set a couple hours earlier or
rise a couple of hours later than the actual time that it breaks the true
horizon. And if you are in a valley somewhere where the Sun doesn't come into view a
couple hours after actual sunrise then most of the magic will actually be gone by the time you see it.

Depending on your location, the peaks could block the Sun
and shorten or even eliminate the golden hour. A tip to maximize your time in
nature is with a simple overnight trip that way you can hike in at a relaxing
pace midday location scout with plenty of time to find interesting composition
ideas before sunset and then after sunset decide to get a good night's rest
or plan for astrophotography and then get up for sunrise in the morning and
hike out by 10 a.M. So in less than a day you've gotten two to three different
photo shoots and really explored the location under different lighting
conditions. Tip number three - keep your camera accessible.

I see so many
photographers with their gear tucked away in a bag on their chest or worse yet
and the bottom of their backpack and the reality is that some things in nature
just don't happen twice, so that moment, that picture-perfect moment will come
and go before you have the chance to react, whether that's the red alpenglow
on some distant mountain peak or the still reflection in an alpine lake or
the wildlife that just comes into view by the time your futzing with your
camera and getting it all ready to go it'll be over so it's very important to
keep your camera accessible. I prefer to keep my camera
right here on my chest I also keep my tripod to the side of me instead of on
the back of my backpack. The lens cap it's got to be off, you don't want to walk around with the lens cap on, you can use the lens hood as protection or UV filter if you really
feel like you need to and in terms of settings for your camera you want that
to reflect the fact that you're walking and you are probably not going to have
the time to set up a tripod because if you do that at that time you can change
the settings of the camera so auto ISO. Is your best friend so think
about how you want to carry your gear how you want to walk with it.

There's
still ways that you can protect it and keep it safe
I have it here in my chest but I also have it backed up on a leash here so
just in case it was to ever fall out it's protected. Tip number four - find your foreground. When everyone is shooting at the same
location it can be discouraging if you are wanting to create something unique
but a great way to do that is to find your own perspective using foreground. A
good foreground draws the viewer in and creates a sense of depth, so ask
yourself "how can I lead my viewer through the image?" And then get close, get low, change your perspective, change the height of the tripod if you're using one.
Reflections, shapes, lines can all be used to draw the viewers eye through the
scene and if there aren't many interesting elements one option can be
the human form which brings us to the tip.

Tip number five - use a sense of scale.
With natural elements like trees mountains and lakes it's often hard to
tell how large or small everything really is. Of course this can be further
exaggerated as an effective way to make an abstract image but for more
traditional landscape scenes it usually helps to add a sense of scale and a
great way to do that is with the human form not only that but a person in the scene often acts as a focal point and can help the viewer connect more deeply
with the experience of being there subjects might include a person such as
yourself or your adventure buddy or your own legs, a physical object such as a
tent, kayak or a hammock or any other number of things. Tip number six - watch
your contrast. You may see a beautiful lake but since the lake isn't being
directly lit the camera might see all the distracting leaves on the edges of
the frame catching light.

The viewers eye will naturally be drawn to the brightest
parts of the scene or the parts of the scene with the most contrast. A quick and
easy way to determine the strongest point of contrast if it's not obvious is
to squint and blur the scene in front of you. Now ask yourself "what is the
brightest object?" And then open up your eyes. If that's not your subject or
something leading to your subject then you might want to reconsider how you
capture that frame.

Tip number seven - bring a telephoto, and I'm referring
here to lenses with a focal length 200 millimeters or longer, preferably more
than 300. Most people already know about the importance of having a wide-angle
lens the capture the expansiveness
in one frame. You've seen those shots with flowers in the foreground sweeping
middle-ground with the mountains in the back, but  one of the best things about
those expansive views is the telephoto's ability to reach out grab a snippet from
the landscape to focus on. This can be especially useful in inclement weather
or if you're not at the scene during prime lighting conditions where using a
wide-angle would result in too much contrast in the scene.

Almost all of the
wildlife shots in my portfolio are a result of having a telephoto lens on me
and being able to act in the moment and respond to the animals presence. To
recount, 1. Do the research ahead of time 2. Show up before and stay after sunrise
and sunset, 3.

Keep your gear ready and accessible, 4.Find your foreground, find your perspective, 5.Add a sense of scale, 6. Watch for contrast and 7. Bring a telephoto lens.

How to Shoot Architectural Digital PhotosUsing Reflections in Architectural Photography

In this segment we are going to talk about
using reflections in architectural photography. Now this is a photograph of Philip Johnson's
classic glass house in New Canaan Connecticut. And this was designed in nineteen forty nine,
sold to the national trust, owned by the National Trust for historic preservation. And you can
take a tour there.

Now this has been photographed by all the great Architectural photographers
of the last century, Julius Shulman, Ezra Stoller, and many of the other greats. But
when I went there last year I've never seen it photographed from across the swimming pool
here. Now this is the swimming pool which lies, actually about thirty yards away from
the building. But what I've done is I've crept down really close to the edge of the water,
used a twenty four millimeter tilt shift lens and shoot this just as the sun was coming
up.

This is about five thirty in the morning. And the night before I arrived I asked the
national trust to put on the lights which they did, and we got this amazing reflection,
not only of the glass house in the water but all the trees surrounding it as well. Shot
at dawn, pre dawn, about five thirty in the morning. Always remember that if you can use
water in your architectural photographs, you going to create an awful lot of depth in the
picture.

Which is a very important part of architectural photography..

Small Studio Setup Exploring Photography with Mark Wallace

AdoramaTV presents 'Exploring
Photography' with Mark Wallace. Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of 'Exploring Photography' right here on AdoramaTV, brought to you by Adorama, the camera
store that has everything for photographers, especially photographers
like Norm Beer and Norm has been so gracious to let me show you something
that i think is pretty fascinating. It's your small studio. Now this used to be a two car garage essentially and you've converted this to be a full-fledged professional studio absolutely.

And the cool thing about this is a lot of people have been writing to me saying hey I've got a small space, a room in my house, maybe a garage, sort of tuff shed, something like that. How do you make that into a studio space
and the thing that I love about this is you've done a lot of really cool things to optimize every inch of this garage and so that's what this episode
is about. We're going to show you how Norm has optimized the space to do some really cool things including some really awesome things with the ceiling, some storage where the garage is... Anyway I.

Want you to tell me about it so let's
first talk about this background and all these lights that you have up here. How
you've done it. Let's start with a background, now what is this this? This is just a three roller system and we've got white, grey and black interchangeable...
Takes just seconds to switch out and behind it is a dead flat white wall as
well so if I don't want that I can just use that which works out great So all kinds, you can put any colour you want. This is a nine foot rolls, basically what these are? Yeah and I can actually go wider but it set for nine right now.

Alright, now something that I think is really cool is you have these lights and flags and stuff that seem to be sort of floating in mid-air because there's no stands underneath these It's magic! It's photography magic. How is that happening? Tell us about
what you've done to the ceiling here. These are some struts that I picked up at Home Depot and I was looking to find a solution and found these and thought, you know what, this will be great. It was much less expensive, believe it or not, than that angle iron and these hold a tremendous amount of weight I mean we
could hang off of these no problem and nothing is moving.

So these are bolted into the studs is that right? They're bolted into the rafters. OK and what are these things called? If somebody's going to buy them, what are they called? They're a Superstrut. A Superstrut. Superstrut.

Alright and then how do you mount this stuff to your superstrut? It's got a channel basically, right? Yeah there's a channel and there's
some parts that interlock. They lock up in there and they're bolted and the nice
thing is that that way we can get our safety cables and nothing can fall, so
even if we do have something happen, the lights aren't coming down on a client's They're just going to sort of dangle there? They're going to just dangle, yeah exactly and on these we have the grip pads and we've got some magic arms and they hold everything in place. So this is all Avenger, Kupo, Manfrotto? All of it. Ok is your basic stuff and so you can
just bolt, you clamp that onto a bolt and then that's going to support quite a bit of weight.

Now you've also over here, on this side, created sort of a storage area for
your light stands and that kind of stuff using a similar system. You can mount C stands, grip arms, arms you name it. It can all mount right there. It's out of the way, it's
off the floor and it actually, you know, it looks sexy and to make this look nice and look sexy like you call it you got also hung rods to put curtains up essentially.

Yeah and that is just half inch pipe, threaded pipe, cut to the right size, mounted to the same ceiling joists, and again I just got these
little Home Depot curtain hangers and the curtains and they're interchangeable.
I can change it any color I want so if I. Need to get a color cast for some reason or if I want a different background I can just turn and shoot up against that and
make it totally flexible. OK, well let's talk about this area over here because you've got a bunch SKB cases you've got a bunch of soft box, you've got some tether
tools equipment over here so let's take a look at how you've organized your
storage for the big stuff, and again take a closer look at these curtains and then
after we do that let's take another look at your storage over here. So let's do
that next.

Alright so now we're here...This is sort of the garage, this is where the garage door would open and cars would normally park but you've converted this to some storage with these SKB cases, is that what these guys are? Yeah these are SKB cases, but to clarify something the garage door still opens, ok, and I can still get two
cars in here if I had to. If you had to, ok, still functioning garage. It's still functioning so I didn't take any functionality out of it, which is great. Yes these are SKB cases.

These are
amazing cases all of my big gear gets stored really nicely and here when I'm going and shooting events it's really nice and compact. They're super sturdy So you just pull these out as you need? Pull it out as I need it, everything. I know what's what. It's all marked.

I did see this. This is sort of a trick that I liked. Tell me about what this guy is and what it does. Well this is actually a repurposed flight drug box case Ok because you used to be a...

Flight paramedic and fire fighter Grids are always damaged. I don't know how many times I've picked up a grid especially a 5 or a 10 and you can't see through it all. In here, it stores them really nice, they're protected, as long as you don't leave it
open and drop it you're totally safe. So if you don't have a flight case like this guy you can just use, you know, anything that's made by Tenba or SKB, just a case that's going to keep your stuff separate from being dropped and smashed and all that kind of stuff You know, people have said 'Oh that takes up a lot of room' but the insurance on it for those grids is worth it.

Yeah, because you don't want to show up to shoot and have... Your money comes all smashed up and no good. So do that, it's an awesome trick and then
this over here I noticed you have one of my favorite things, a tether table on a rolling stand with a little cup holder. With the famous Mark Wallace cup holder That's right.

To hold all your coffee. Exactly! Now so what do you use? It seems, like, in a small studio this would
be like high on the list of things that you'd want, just so you'd have a place to put all your pocket wizards, your laptop, all that kind of stuff. Oh absolutely, it's essential. I really do need it.

I use it all the time. I'm actually
thinking about getting another one so that I can have a separate table just
for these items and then for the laptop. Right, now, I've got, I have to say, I have
about in my studio, I think we have like six or seven of these. We have them all
over the place, because not only do we have laptops on them but we also keep things like our light meters, we keep spare parts and if we were using grids we'd stick that on there, sometimes we have shot lists we put iPads.

Gray cards that fall off! All that stuff, cables and the nice thing about having a rolling stand is you can just move them out of the way if you need to. Exactly. Alright, enough of this stuff. I think you get the idea.

Let's take a look at the other wall which is
your storage system that you created for your stands and all the hangings stuff.Well this is something I think is one of the best ideas I've seen in a small studio. Essentially you have created your own custom storage space so how does this
work out? Well, what I did was I took some OSB, mounted it to the wall so that it's in the studs and I can mount anything anywhere in this and it's
going to be solid. So I took the leftover Superstrut, mounted it and the Superstrut is actually into the studs at the same time. Alright, so pretty darn solid.

Very solid and, yeah, just got different sized bolts and that's the nice thing with the Superstrut is you can put any size bolt in there you really want, and be able to mount anything, essentially. Yeah so you're holding your boom arms, you're holding your bases, you're
holding grip, you're holding booms, cables, all kinds of stuff on here and
it's really easy to pull something off and use it in the studio so it's a
fantastic idea. Norm this has been really informative for me and I think for a lot of people now you actually had a large studio in Phoenix before you moved up
here to Eugene, Oregon is that right? I did. I had a fine, big studio down there.

So massive, and so everything is in this space? Everything is in this space, tucked away. And usable. So I think if Norm  can do it, I think anybody can do it and this will work with
speedlights or studio strobes or pretty much anything that you can bring into a
space like this. Well, you know, what we've done is for
more information about some of the different boxes and tools and stands and
stuff that Norm is using, I have included links to those things in the
description of this video so check that out and also for more small studio tips

MAKE MONEY WITH PHOTOGRAPHY5 Ways

Hi bonjour a Bienvenue to all my
French people watching this video. Today I talk about five ways to make money as
a photographer. My name is Benjamin Jaworskyj
photographer and adventurer. Ten years ago I started to teach myself photography today I travel the world as
a professional photographer and filmmaker.

Learn from my experiences, mistakes and tips and join me on my photography adventures. Making money as a
photographer is a big thing for I would say like everybody who just photographs
for bit longer like 1 year 2 year or anything and things about hmm my images
are not too bad maybe I can make some money out of this. So today I will talk
about the five ways that I can definitely recommend to make money with.
There are some advantages and disadvantages with each of them, none of
them is easy so making money is not always an easy thing and or never I
would actually say and maybe you have some more than just write it in the
comments below. All the things I tell you about I did myself and I will talk about
this as well in the different tips.

So number one is stock photography or micro
stock photography. That's the thing maybe you heard about so there are like
websites you upload your images to and other agencies newspapers persons or
just private persons photographers and stuff like that for their composing or
whatever they need for websites web designer they go on the website and they
buy your images the disadvantage with this is it's not made for like making
huge amounts of money with one image that's why it's called micro stock you
make like a lot of sales but it's working good and you get a small amount
for each sale but in the end because of a lot of sales and because it's
international you can make some bucks out of this. I tried it myself
seven years ago I uploaded like 100 images there a different topics I
just tested myself and I made after one year around a
hundred euro so it's not that much I. Don't know how it is today I will test again
and there are totally different websites like Fotolia, Adobestock they belong I
think now together and Shutterstock, gettiy images, iStockphoto and they have
all complete different deals and different things that they offer so you
should definitely check the terms of conditions and think about if it's the
right thing for you but it may be a good thing for just images that you think
they're great and they are just laying around
on my external drive so why not upload them tag them, that takes some time and
then just maybe sell them so give it a try .

Number two is the whole event market
thing so you can go on events or maybe you've been to an event and there's a
photographer taking photos of the event and after that on a website there are
the images you can download the image and just be happy with that share it
with your friends and say oh look at this how drunk we we're so that's the
thing I did as well and I did not get much money out of this it was maybe nine
years ago it was just when I quit school and just made some money out of
everything you know how it is when you just go out of school and you may. I was
into partying and I like the club thing and everything here in Berlin and as an
event photographer there you make between 15 euro per evening till 50 euro
per evening and you made like 400 images and have to edit all the images and
deliver it the next day because it has to be online the next day. No matter how drunk
you were you don't have to be but you can be but you don't have to be when you're
photographing yeah next day Sunday it has to be online. So that's your job and
it was not a lot of money and there are definitely I would think professional
photographers out there that make good money out of event photography and
there's always a market it's always a party and people like to see the images
afterwards so give it a try as well maybe
it in your city or village when it's like a ban somebody's like...

Number three
wedding photography and a lot of people think about wedding photography that's
why there are quite many wedding photographers out there but the good
news is wedding photography is a very special thing I did it myself I did it
twice and it was more like I did it for friends or friends and it was more about
I go to the party anyway into the wedding so I take photos as well and
give it to them afterwards and all we're happy but it's not my type or my
personal type of photography and not what I like to do every day. But weddings
are a thing you only marry hopefully once in your life so people are willing to
spend an amount of that to get nice photos out of that moment even with all
video footage now and all the stuff they don't just want photos today they want a
whole video they they even want a whole Facebook page for their wedding and all
the stuff. And so yeah there's a market you can make good money out of this it
depends on I would say realistically from 300 up to 5,000 euro per evening
per per day and I think there are even more you can even get more but you can
as well get less as always. It always depends on how good of a salesperson you
are actually and that's what professional photography I would say is
all about delivering and sailing.

Sailing? Selling, dumb German. Number four real
estate and people are always buying houses selling houses want to rent a
flat especially in a city like Berlin big city a lot of people want to come a
lot of people want to leave and real estate market is huge and the better the
images from the real estate agent or agency are the better itself and the
more people are interested in an object and the higher the quality of the whole
thing is rated so when you're a good photographer and when you are into like
interior even exterior like to just even if
you're into landscaping it's kind of similar with the right light and
everything to to just photograph it. Team together with the real-estate agent and
you can both benefit from that being together thing not in a sexual way okay
you can but you don't have to it's all about sailing and you know. And the last
thing is social media and it's a quite new thing for a lot of people, for a lot
of people it's as well just usual they are on social media and you can make
money as a photographer out of social media how does it work
well actually it's all about the following so the more people are
interested in your photography in your work the better you can market over
social media.

Let's say as a wedding photographer you put out great wedding
photos every day and there is a guy who's following you and he gets married
and then he says oh I see all the nice images on Instagram I want to have this
photographer as a wedding photographer and he only knows you from social media
so maybe he's not even in your country but from somewhere else and he hires you
because he doesn't give a shit about money and he just wants you to be the
photographer and even maybe just wants to be featured on your Instagram or your
Facebook page as well so this is a huge market and that is only one side of the
whole social media thing as well with a huge following you can not only reach
the persons personally but you can reach out to brands and brands pay you for an
advertisement so you not only take a great shot like for example a car brand
you take a car brand and the agency says well we have a client and you have to
take nice photos of the new whatever car is out there and you not only take the
images but they pay you that you post it on your Instagram that many people not
only see the image but are interested in the brand as well so it's a huge
advertisement world out there and if you are not an
Instagram you're totally missing something out. Facebook is cool but
Facebook is out right now Instagram is the hot shit and
when you'r not on Instagram you definitely missing an opportunity not only to reach
people not only to inspire people but as well to make money. Those are five ways
to make money as a photographer I hoped you liked the video and write me your
thoughts what I just talked about in the comments below I think a lot of people
have something to say right now. I'm looking forward for that and check out
quick commercial learnfromben.Com this is my website you can find all
about landscape photography in my landscape photography video cause we
filmed it in the beautiful landscape of Norway I have an easy Lightroom learning
course and another course about editing landscape photos with luminosity marks,
the power of raw and all the great stuff so check out learnfromben.Com
And in professional photography it's all about checking out who needs the image and why
or what do they need it for.

When you have those two things you can make money out of photography in like every genre. I wish you all the best au revoir, a bientt
