Seven essential tips for building a successful photography business! With @phlyimages / “Starting and running your own business is exciting and challenging, especially in a creative field like photography. It requires talent, resilience, strategic planning, and continuous learning. Here are some key lessons and insights I have gathered from my journey: 1) I began my freelance business by gradually reducing my days working at the marketing agency from full-time to four days, then three days until I had built a client base big enough to support the jump into full-time freelancing. 2) It is good to aim to have at least a few months of income saved so that if you come across a dry patch in terms of work, you have that to fall back on and do not have the pressure of always having to rely on the next job to come in. 3) My gigs over the years have come from word-of-mouth referrals. So, consistent quality of work is paramount. Building long-term relationships with clients is very important; It is great to have consistent work flowing in. 4) These days, a presence on social media makes it much easier for you to reach your audience and build community around your work. It has opened a lot of opportunities both locally and internationally for me. 5) Always learn and evolve as a creative – teach yourself new skills. It can lead to more job opportunities. For example, I bought my first drone in 2017 to add the ability to photograph different perspectives and compositions to my work – it has opened up a whole new pathway for my career. Finding your niche is crucial, too! 6) You need to be able to market yourself and manage projects, finances, and taxes. Sometimes, work can consume your life, so you need to be able to take breaks and maintain balance in your life – spend time with your family and friends, do things you enjoy, and stay fit and healthy. 7) Focus on your art, put in the work, and be patient – your time will come!” @nomadict: What other tips would you recommend for building a successful photography business? 📸🌊

London — a first day (28mm) perspective despite the street crime situation over the past few years, I still find London a fascinating city for urban snapshots. if NYC is too crazy & Paris too elegant, I guess London is something in between with a touch of modern roughness in the midst of historical shells. every time after a long trip, photo organisation often takes a lot of time (editing/sequencing/sharing)… therefore I always admire those who could record & share content within the shooting day. anyways, hope to share some first snapshots on my first day at London, while experimenting a bit of photo sequencing. what do you think? 2025.03 London #rambler_in_uk
