What are your questions about running a photography studio?

@victordelacruz8440 10 ай бұрын

I'm curious about the cost of leasing the space? How did you research the loft spaces?

Which light can I buy that's not too expensive and going to serve its purpose to some extent?

@therealBocaStudios 7 ай бұрын

Rechargeable batteries dude! Could you talk about how you acquire clients? Cold calls or blind emails or do you sent out mailers? Are you primarily B2b or b2c revenue studio?

@lr2studio 7 ай бұрын

Primarily b2c, and as far as how we reach out to acquire clients, all of the above. Whatever you're thinking to try, TRY IT.

How did you advertise your studio to other photographers successfully?

@lr2studio 7 ай бұрын

Great question. Mostly word of mouth and direct contact. Reaching out personally and speaking with people.

@emilybinder4713 10 ай бұрын

Bro, you got to get on the rechargeable battery tip. It will save you a ton of money and is way more ethically sourced.

@lr2studio 7 ай бұрын

Yes. This makes sense, however, most items we have in the studio should not take rechargeable batteries, as recommended by the manufacturer. Thanks for the tip!
