Absolutely love your portfolio Sam, has to be one of my favorite ones I've run into so far. I'm 3 months into photography and really loving it. Probably a bit early to start a portfolio but this is was a great video . Thanks for sharing!

Sam, I’ve been binging your content these past few days and been subscribed for about a month and I just have to say I really love your work. You simply produce and create amazing art and it’s inspirational. Thank you for all that you do and the content you provide. I hope all is well and much love.

This is such a helpful video! And the work is incredible as always. I'd love to see a video critiquing other's websites, like you were saying about having outside opinions. I think it would help give an even better idea of what's helpful and what's not if you were to look through what subscribers send in and give your thoughts.

Hello Samuel, congratulations for this video! I was looking for something like this lately so I could sort myself out with my photos. I am a photographer in progress and I still do not define a photographic style very well (something difficult because a few years have passed). My interest in photography was for landscapes, travel and surfing but we know that there is money in portrait and couples photography. I was very confused if I had to create different instagram accounts for each type of photos, it was crazy! Now seeing your portfolio, I understand that it is necessary to have your own style. I just added the subscribe button, keep it up!

@jamilgotcher5456 2 жыл бұрын

Mel, lifestyle work uses people that are not necessarily professional models. Start with asking friends or family to pose for lifestyle photos. There are so many freelance/instagram models that would love to collab with you I'm sure. Just make posts or story post on Instagram asking if anyone wants to collab with you because you are building your lifestyle portfolio.
