ugh. I know youre right. But good lord, it's such a massive undertaking and takes an incredible amount of time.

Agreed 100%, I was focused 100% on photography at first, then moved over to videography and now making much more doing videos!

This studio/basement/spare room is so beautiful!!!!!!!!

I’ve found that when posting consistently is important.

you should do mentorships, you're hella positive and super helpful with your videos

"Invest in yourself" is such excellent advice. Great video as always, Alex. 🧠

thank you so much for all the amazing insight you share in your videos, Alex. You’ve helped all of us so much. I’m curious if you’ve ever made or thought to make a video about how to find and land clients for your shoots? or how you like to handle your marketing in general?

This is so relevant even beyond car photography.

Good good stuff. We roll here together ...

Excellent points! I’m reaching that point you made at the end, where I’m married and need to be making money if I’m going to spend so much time on this. I’m digging deep into video this year because it seems to hold space for much more opportunity. Excited to be shooting my first short film in about a month at a drift event, which will be my showcase piece to show people and brands what I can offer! Been really enjoying learning from you, thanks for all of this awesome content!

I am exactly your target audience for this post. 30 year portrait photographer that started doing car photo and now video just over a year ago. I've been watching your journey for over a year also. You have helped me a lot. I will say I have no issues with using premiere pro and I feel like it is basically free for me as I am already paying for photoshop and lightroom, so all the other programs in cc are gravy.

Man this is some free game right here

1000% man. I started moving into it this year and its made my audience grow and become much more attentive and engaged in what im doing as opposed to just admiring stills. Great video

Real talk dude, great talking points! Video is the way everything is going now, and getting left behind means less £££ I do 90% video and like 10% photo now, but a few years back the split was so way more even!

Growth is continuous, we have to open horizons. Leaving our comfort zone to create something even better, even if it involves less good times. Let's take RISKS. Thanks Alex💥

All great point my problem I’m just learning car photography and have no idea how to do a video to get my name out there or brand my self

Im hyped for you! I believe you will hit 100,000 subscribers before the year is up! Thank you for your time and knowledge 🙏

Great content! You got a very nice office set up!

You are 100% correct. But I’ve played around with video on my Sony A7III and I just can’t create anything that I’m happy with. I honestly have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to video, and there’s not really many good videos to learn automotive videography. Like you said, everyone just shows how they take and edit their pictures. I’m looking for the same in-depth behind the scenes videos on videography

Thank you Alex for the kind words and inspiration! Love your content. See you in the next one ;)

Great video! These are tips i will be trying out! Keep up the great videos man!

Fine, i'll start KZfaq

More super useful information Alex, a lot to think about for sure. Its also amazing to follow along with you and follow your successes too 😊.

Thank you for this video segment. As one who has started doing both this is good information know about. My own issues right now is I that I am working on the shot during a car show. They are all lined up. It makes for a challenging day. Also any advice on starting a video club. Something like a still life photography club, but geared to video only?

Hey Alex, Thank you for your content! I've been having trouble with exporting photos & videos to social media like IG without losing image quality. Do you have any tips & tricks on export settings to not affect the quality of your pictures & videos?

Great Videos! I love to watch Your content and learn, I starte photography of cars.. I think about videos to.

Great vid, agree with diversifying and learning different parts of creation.

Honestly I did not know Instagram pays 0 for views… that’s wild…

yup! 100% and i do this with my RC cars :)

Love this style of video!

I just picked up a s5iix and I was wondering if you could make more videos on luts and presets. The settings on this thing are kinda overwhelming and I’m not really sure where to start.

Thank you for these videos 💙

AWSOME vid dude i just started taking vids bought a new canera lens gimbal etc

I have tried to make a few reels for my Instagram but when I come to edit something is always wrong with my videos. i notice I film too short, or too shaky, or not wide enough, do you think you can make a video showing us how to make a nice car video/ transition reel? like a short 10-second video? how to film and edit and all?? that would be game changing

Before I even started watching, I liked the topic

Awesome video! Can you share the link of the video you mention in 10:50?

never been this early haha

Youre in slow motion mode?
