I’m a stroke survivor and if I didn’t fail everyday for 10 years I would still be in a wheelchair and pointing at sign to communicate, embrace failing and don’t let divine you

Great video Neil, give us part 2 please !

Yes, please make more videos like this as all of the tips are spot on and worth a good deal of reflection.

I always get so much from your videos weather it is How I Shot It or Tip or Common Mistakes. Thank you

Point 5 is a genuine statement

Another great video Neil.

Neil as always such great advice. You've really hit the nail on the head with these mistakes as a reletively new wedding photographer, I can completely relate to all of these. Thanks for the reassurances 😄

Love the bit about embracing failure. I've been trying a technique from one of your previous videos where you got the groom to lead the bride. It's just not been working, then yesterday it produced a cracking image for me, so thank you Neil!

Thank you very much Jofer! Yes, I know that my opinion on that is different to what others may think but I really do believe that is a better approach. Thank you again!

Thanks, Neil, for this very interesting video. I know we only have to post our very best images, but I don't like that fact. It is in fact lying to the customer and we only have to do it because everyone else on social media present themselves as being perfect. I know a lot of waw photographers that are really mediocre once you see an entire wedding and not just the best two images. I have a difficult time swallowing this huge marketing pill, but I understand I will have to or run out of business. So, to everyone, Neil is sadly right! You are also right about the gear. Understanding and practicing with the gear we have is more important than the latest and greatest. Only, buying something new takes less effort and satisfies the kid in ourselves. 👨‍👦

Thank you so much for the effort you put into these videos! I shot my first wedding on June 22. You’re videos helped me a great deal! When I had time and got my safe shots I tried using my prism and fractals set. I even tried using a lamp in the room for some creative shots. One thing I realized is I need more practice with my on and off camera flash. I would like to see a video on how you use flash at the reception as I was getting frustrated from the DJ lights.

Thank you so much Craig! I'm really pleased that my videos have helped you too :-)

Thanks for keeping it real. I often read on facebook about how busy some of these photographers are, and how high their rates are. I wonder how they have time to follow these facebook groups and comment on all these posts everyday. I guess it's like you said, just BS.

Stating the obvious but nevertheless is good to be reassured about all your points which can sometimes lead me into a state of anxiety with my work....Bit boring but thank you .

part two please

Great advice. Loving your videos mate. Here's one for you. How about a video on how you handle that one awkward client. That one who isn't 100% happy for whatever reason. Unless you've never had one of those...

@@NeilRedfern Excellent! I look forward to hearing about the situations and how you handled them. Top notch work/videos & tutorials 👌

Seconds? Yes please! Also, I have the d800 and the d850 and love it. I've been on the fence between buying another d850 as a backup and retiring the d800. However after watching you shoot with your mirrorless and your d810, it really gave me second thoughts about moving to mirrorless. Could you possibly consider a video for those of us who are considering the transition and what to expect once we are shooting with both mirrorless and DSLR? What did you do? How did you handle it? Also, can you address the compatibility issue with lenses? I know Nikon has an adapter so that you can use the lenses that are already in your bag.

Hi Neil great advice, would you say you should have packages and prices on your web site as i cant see any on yours?

@NeilRedfern

5 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much! Personally I don't have prices on my site as I would prefer every couple to get in touch and I think having prices on can be potentially off putting. There is no right or wrong though!

So so true Neil! I've been so focused on getting new lens and saving up (as I only have 2!!) but if I get out there more with the 2 I have that's going to be WAY better for my business, surely? P.S Does Toni know you're telling everyone to only post a couple of times a week on Insta... ;)

Thanks Neil, it is important to reflect on the non-technical aspects of a photography business which may be holding us back and I think you nailed it. Please do a part 2.
