Great points! So many creative professionals feel trapped and it's often in our heads.
People skills are 90% of the job. A client once told me, "Nobody's gonna feel you if you ain't feelin' yourself." I'll never forget that.
Confidence and good business skills is what most photogs have. They also have major incompetence when it comes to the end product. 99% of photogs mess it up in post production. This video is pretty good.
I love the idea of how something that seems fairly nebulous at first (like describing your business in three words) can lead to helping you make decisions about concrete things. Great points, thank you, Kia!
This hype video kicks ass 💯
How good it is to hear people who have been able to maintain their photo business, through these changes, I had it and now I am out of the game, technology gave way to people who broke the pricing policies and the business of created images by professionals, . Times change and I am grateful for having met such good mentors at the PPA conventions, who inspired us. create our business.
Thank you for this, Pat and PPA!
The photography cannot be ended just because we love it 🥰
That's a great point. As dorky as it might seem, having a camera (even a small one) solidifies what you do in people's minds as well. Thanks Pat!
Always fantastic info to help get your head around business terms.
41:14 I wonder what Arnold Newman thinks of this.
Way to go ladies! Great story!!
I'm looking forward to participating in this!
So glad you're going to be a part of the study! It's going to help so many photogs with their businesses! Feel free to reach out with any questions. 📲
Hispanic photographers see you there I will have a conference in Spanish to teach you how to grow your business as photographer.
Dope job! I have to try this.
Let us know how it turns out! 💡📸
Awesome work!

Looks great! Thank you for the step by step and clear communication.
You're so welcome!!! Stay tuned for more content like this. 📲
Thank you for this! How do you determine the amount of power you need from a constant light?
Honestly, I just eyeball it. I’m not a technical shooter so I just go by what I see
Love the idea of a mission statement for your business, it clarifies every decision you make.
I love the idea of approaching the different area of your small business with different "hats". Overspending is such a trap for small business owners, you don't always need that new camera ;)
Thank for the studio tour🥰love it
You're so welcome! Glad you like it. Stay tuned for more content like this and subscribe. 📲
Thanks Travis!
What an awesome story
Completely agree, we are so glad we were able to chat with Gary so he could it share it with everyone. 🤗
Thank you Christina, I always love your lessons from food photography to these photo business related matters!
Show starts at 1:16:05 ❤
Thanks for this! 🤗
Beautiful video, let's do good deeds to make the world a better place for everyone.
Glad you liked it! Absolutely agree. 👏
Love you sue ❤❤❤
You and your mom's story would make a great book!
We agree! 💯
Neat 😊 Maybe one day I’ll run
Hope you decide to do it at some point! 🙌
If my image is landscape and I size it at 1920 width, the height is 1365...is that still ok...or does the height still need to be 1080
Hi there! Great question. The image must meet the maximum of 1920 pixels on the longest side ( horizontal) , and a maximum of 1080 on the tallest side (vertical). The images can’t go beyond the two sizes.1385 will be a little too large. Our Credentialing Coordinator, Vincent Yarborough, also reached out to you via e-mail to follow up on this. 🤗
Congratulation Gary and mom more blessings
I was so blessed to sit behind his mother during the awards. The energy was wonderful ❤ Congratulations 🎉
Oh this is so cool! Such positive energy - loved it. 💖
Congratulations Gary! You are an inspiration.
Truly! 🎊🥳🎉
Way to go, Gary!!
🥳🎉🥳🎉
Bananas!
Loved it! Great job!
Glad you like it! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 Hope you stay tuned for the upcoming sessions www.imagingusa.com/unpacked 📦
The pricing menus are so poorly put together. I expect such a better product from PPA.
Absolutely true! It’s a lifelong journey. It’s hard to say a class is “beginner, intermediate, or advanced” because I always feel like a beginner no matter how much I’ve learned
Great point! There's always something new to learn. 🧠
Such a beautiful story ❤
LOVE THIS! I like sending my brochures electronically. Would you suggest a flip book or PDF?
Need a professional subtitle editor for your content?
that water bottle filled with ice coffee kept me alive all week!
Honestly same. 😆😆😆😆😆
Is there a limit of what lens and F Stops can be used with the higher sync speeds? Can you use say a Tamron 35-150 2.8 at 2.8 with all the flash sync speeds this would be the best lens for my use to get that range for our portrait business. They just charged my card today for the A9III so I should have it soon but next ? I Was not expecting it to be here this soon so I do not have any FF lens yet buy have plenty of cropped lens. Will it work in cropped mode for all this as well like using the Sigma 56mm 1.4 lens and 23mm 1.4 and viltrox 75mm 1.2 I have all of them and more.? Thanks
I wasn't able to attend I only wish they had live streamed Saturday's. I enjoyed the format on Monday and look forward to seeing it in person next year.
0:30 😊
Great video! 😊👍
