The first time to did a set up like this, my client couldn’t stop talking about it for 5 mins ( We FaceTime from my laptop) the 35 1.8 was to crispy for them to handle lol

Step 1: Build an office. haha. We call one half of the kitchen table "the office" currently.🤣

I literally have a client zoom meeting in an hour, perfectly timed upload! As always, thanks for the tips John!

Very useful info. Since you mentioned about wedding day expectations, I think you can create a video just on that topic and how the wedding day looks like from all your 10 years of experience. That would be very valuable.

Excellent advice John. Here in the UK, I rarely do Zoom meetings these days, although I did some during lockdowns. These days I am back to face to face over a coffee. You are absolutely correct in what you say about telling them what is going to happen, what you are going to do, etc. and not concentrate on the money! I did my first wedding way back in 1977, thrown in the deep end so to speak, when my then girlfriend's brother was getting married. Things have changed a lot since those days and you have to keep inline with trends, etc. I had a meeting with a bride today and thinking about it, I was telling her what would happen when and how, which she confirmed was what she'd had from the organiser at the venue. Keep up the good work John. Best regards from across the pond in the UK.

Thanks John I needed this video. Hope you’re having a great day 👍🏻

John, awesome tips as I'm setting up my home office right now! Can you share where you got your pots and plants? haha!

This is really helpful. Thank you very much John.

Hey!!! 👋🏽 John, can you do a video on how you step up our laptop with monitor to edited on a external monitor without having to use the laptop?

8:10 is whole perfected sermon, great insight

Love these tips! Definitely going to try using my camera during consultation calls. Do you have a link for the CamLink?

Love your tips ! Really helpful ❤

Thank you sir 🤗 lots of insightful tips

I tried this kind of setup years ago for company zoom meetings. nobody cared at all. I'm inspired to see if clients feel different, but I suspect Australia's terrible internet means all our efforts get compressed so nobody can notice. I have a facetime in 2 hours and a pretty office. I'll do a bit of stuff to make it nicer and see what happens

my problem is , couples dont want to get on a zoom meeting after they know the price , even though the prices are on my website

Can you post a video of you actually talking to someone for a meeting?

Out of interest, for online meetings, what focus settings do you have for the X-T3, and what aperture is set for the XF35mmF2?

In HongKong most people likely have a conversation via Email or Whatsapp 😅 by text message. Do you have any skills or tips for that? And because HoneyBook is not supported in HongKong area, I use Quickbook before for my CRM, but really don’t like the templates of quote and invoice, so now I will created templates in canva for my quote and invoice send to my client, CRM I use notion and do it by myself 😢

How is this incredible piece of information for any photographer only on less that 500 views after a few hours?!
