My 8-Step Path To Make Photos Like This

Hustle is always present, lots of good stuff are being missed and it feels like you´re never there where you should be. Sound familiar? To me it does. If you are or want to be a maximizer of efficiency and you got a hint of an engineer within you, this article is for you.

I´m a part-time photographer-entrepreneur. I got a good amount of gigs and in my spare time I rarely get a grasp with photography even if I should. But why should I?

Knowledge + portfolio = High-performance

Your know-how is already at the point you can charge your customers. Does it mean you are ready as a photographer? Every self-respecting photographer knows the answer but to be on the safe side: no, you aren´t. Now, think your time consumption. How much time do you use in learning new things? Let me guess, not enough. Should you? Definitely yes.

Portfolio is the thing why your clients want you. They don´t pay you for using the newest camera bodies and lenses nor they pay you because you have the tag Photographer in front of your name (sure they do sometimes…). Your client likes what you produce and wants the same outcome.

Like I already painted the dark skies of hustle and hurry, now we are getting in the core of the problem. How do I find all the time for customers to be satisfied, for development as a photographer and building up an awesome portfolio? Problem solved: start being a full-time photographer. But what if that´s not possible? Do I have to dig down my high hopes as a part-time photographer?

How to improve efficiently?

If you’re photographing much just for fun and keep doing these Sunday-funday -shoots without planning and keep ranting about it, there’s the most important thing to do at first: stop it. You’re waste you’re time, if your goal is progression.

I have set goals and to achieve those goals I have reconstruct a productive habit. The pattern is the same every time.

Steps I used in 1960´s themed photo shoot:

1. Decide your battles

2. Study the tactic

3. Contemplate your goals

4. Gather your team

5. Blueprint again

6.Execute patiently

7. Finish with quality

8. Sharing is learning
