I’m a military wife, just moved to Hawaii… really struggling to find clients, there are sooo many great photogs here . I was on the beach with my camera the other day and saw so many adorable little vignettes… a mama and baby playing in the sand, a couple in love… I thought to ask them if I could take their pics but was afraid of rejection… I loved seeing you do this, I hope next time I’m in that position I step outside of my comfort zone and go for it.
Thank you for sharing and I am glad you found this video!! ♥
“Whether or not I’m successful, plays no role in my success”. That has stuck with me. As a student just about to graduate from my two year course in film making, I’m often scared about future endeavours and whether I can secure work. Midway through last year I found a love for not just cinematography and videography but photography. Coming into this year I felt immense weight with every photo I took that it had to be the one that would kick start my career. Hearing those words just helped me remember why I am doing this. It’s truely inspiring to see other people highlighting the Melbourne photography scene. Thank you.
@@smolblue1239 thank you my friend. Yeah we all do it for different reasons I guess and I think taking the pressure off yourself is key. We do this because we love it, not because we need to be seen as successful ❤️
Always, always killing it!
Thanks, Brice!! Good to hear from you
Wow wow wow, you are so inspiring. I am 63 years young and about to retire from my day job to become an event and headshot photographer full time and throw myself into my dream, thank you from the bottom of my heart for this inspirational video and this only affirms my believe that I will be a success
Amazing work! so happy to hear that you are living out your dream- keep it up!
I’m in bed teary eyed. I’ve been shooting for about half a decade. I’ve always wanted to become a wedding photographer, I’ve only done fashion. I loved this… I needed this. I’ve never felt more pushed to do this. Thank you so much. Seriously thank you
Thank you my friend, i really appreciate the message 🔥
Great documentary!! Well done !! Would love to see more on what happened at the wedding dress boutiques and how you handled that.
Thank you! That is a great idea for a video! I would love to share more about this!
I have never been more impressed by an artist like i have been with Ziggy Alberts. What a class act
I love this video. It is my favorite on across TH-cam. If this was a saying or a picture it would be tattooed on me. Its my inspiration now.
@@vibez3161 thank you so much my friend 🏴☠️❤️
This is such a beautiful video. I didn't know what I was expecting when I started watching this video but by the end of it, I was emotional, motivated, grabbed the camera and ready to go out !
@@VivekM1 I’m glad you enjoyed it! And I appreciate the comment as well. Thank you 💛
Awesome. May i ask what camera you shot this footage with?
we used a sony A7iii
@@jailongcothis is unbelievable. Skin tones look so good that I am speechless. I thought only Canon can achieve this kind of results. May I know you used slog or standard picture profile? Any hint of your editing and color grading workflow of this footage will help. If someone starting out as photographer and shooting portraits or weddings is the main target, what camera you recommend?
Thank you😊
You don’t need model release to post their photos?
thank you for this!
I am sooo glad I found you!! Absolutely a hidden gem ❤
Thank you so much!! 🧡
what's the difference between reviews and testimonials? aren't these synonyms? (not a native speaker)
Great video Jai. Simple things that make a huge difference in sales. Thank you!
Gold!! ✨ I’m at this moment preparing content, testimonials and so on for my upcoming website.. 6 years of business without a website is about to change, and I’m planning on making my photo/video business to finally take the final step and become my solo business.. And discovering you in here, is pushing me and motivating me big time! I’ve owe all my knowledge about photography and videography to TH-cam, and I can honestly say, that your channel will change me and my business! Thx again for sharing your knowledge and for your way of delivering it! If you ever visit Denmark, I pay you back as your private tour guide and free beer! 🥳😝
I can recommend a great platform for creating a website 😉 just moving my old one there
Jai!! Just discovered you in here, and your content is spot on what I need at this moment in my career 💪🏻 And big compliments for your attitude, calm voice and pleasing way to explain and share the value you do 🙌🏻
Thank you so much my friend
Yes, today is different. You can submit your work without paying hundreds of dollars to get published

The most amazing inspiring video I've watched!!! I'm 62 and feel very uncomfortable starting out with my photography business, but your video and story, so similar to mine has renewed the inspiration in me. Thank you for helping so many!!!
Thank you so much for your feedback Linda and please follow your inspiration thats where the magic happens!
This is inspiring, decided to go all in on photography a week ago! Visited shops, offered photos videos, reaching couples I know will get married this year. This video is a big pat on the back, like keep on going you’ll reach the goal! Plus the video quality and story telling is fire.
thank you for the feedback and I am so glad it helped! keep on going! :D
This is exactly the content that I'm hoping for this year. I think I've done a good job starting my business and now it's time for me to really make some money and do some sales. Thank you. No matter what your topic is, I always learn something. So you know I'll be listening.
thank you for your kind words! This is so exciting to hear- well done :D you've got this!

Man, you’re like a hidden gem in the YT space.
Thank you brother! ❤
Very helpful! Thank you!!
Another photograher melting here hahaha This is simly amazing thank you for the tips!
Thank you my friend 🧡🏴☠
Hi Jai! Do you answer comments? :) what would you recommend someone who want to start making money with his photography, but doesnt know where to start. I have a camera, and lenses.
sell them 😀 it's the easiest way
This is the first time I hear about you but I just want to say I appreciate what you're doing. Very cool to see you put yourself in circumstances that restrict you and show your process. Thanks for this! Will be watching more of you!
Thank you my friend! 🧡
it was so much fun. Wanna go back!
I'm Tomi. 29 years old. I want to be a photographer besides my job. I found this video tonight and I must say it was fantastic. One of the best things I have seen in photography. Unfortunately I can't get started but I feel this will help. I keep fighting with myself that I can't do it. I wouldn't be able to take the good pictures a couple would want. I wouldn't be able to pose them. I couldn't do this and I couldn't do that. Did you have that feeling in the beginning? How can we change this?I am very grateful to you.
Dude I cannot get enough of your videos. Really. You just haven’t gotten discovered by the algorithm but keep it up. You are truly inspiring 🔥
Thanks so much man! that means a lot!!
So inspiring man. Thanks for making this.
thank you man! ❤
epic step forward ! well done to all
Thank you my friend 🧡
Thank you for the huge inspiration, motivation and faith🙏🏽
First time viewer and new sub here! I watched this entire video on normal speed (that speaks to how immersed i was!) Thank you for being so raw, vulnerable, and open while sharing this experience with us. When you said it really isnt that hard and how sometimes people make things harder than they should. I am people. And that really struck me. It doesnt have to be hard and complex taking a leap and working towards your dream... just lead with love and remember common sense is key haha i loved the message in this documentary. Thank you to you both! Much love ❤
Not to mention the wave of emotion that came over me when i read "get uncomfortable, your dreams are worth it" 💯🙏🏾 thank you
@@Kristaldaniella thank you for your kind words! ❤
this is great quality content, Im inspired by it. Trully keep it up, love this documentary no fast and flashy edits content. Congrats

Take a look at the interview going into day 4. There is a lot of clips where the interview audio is missing or muted. It’s unfortunate because it’s a very fundamental memory. The first spot is 29:00 to 29:05
I know it's such a shame. We can't fix it unfortunately
