Im a photographer without any studio experience and this was so helpful for me! A perfect way to learn the dos and donts when hopefully working in someone’s studio in the future 🙏 Thanks a lot for this video!
All photographers, models, and creatives, whether you are new, old, or have yet to enter the photography space, Walid is bringing the facts and the knowledge everyone should have. Not only is the information presented in an easily digestible way, but his delivery feels like it comes from a place of wanting to help and not just wanting to get an extra click. I highly encourage anyone who is interested in photography to go through Walid's other videos because almost no one else is delivering this level of content for the intrinsic value it holds.
I have my own studio in LA, I only rent to photographers I know because I have so many fears. I come from another industry involving rentals and so many people damage things. I have a lot of equipment in the studio and worry a lot about it.
It's a lot to manage, right? I think if your plan works, stay with it. If you visit for example FD Studios in NY or LA, it's the same thing. They rent to people by the hour, they are budget and nearly every piece of equipment is unusable. So I say keep the rules strict and as much as I dislike it, cameras everywhere! BTW if you have a studio in LA, feel free to link it here... but again that would open it up to people you don't know.

i never owned a studio, but I've been a monthly renter and you video reminded me of why the studio owner did what he did at times Depending on the city and location, I never thought about havin to pay for parking as well!
@@WalidAzamiTV It wasn't long before I understood why. Just like when we were kids and people come over and play with your toys and break them, it happened with backdrops, strobes and other stuff
Thank you for sharing this valuable information, I'v never used a studio for a few reasons some of which you mentioned, but please hear me when I say, when that time comes I absolutely will use your videos as a guide, Your delivery is easy to understand and to the point, so again thank you and I for sure will be watching your content.
Thank you for those great advices, you know what you talking bout! Very captivating all the way through, great speech great ideas , I’m about to open my studio and I was doing some research , than here you are sir whalid 😅 bless you brother… I have subscribed looking forward to more interesting videos …
The answer is "it all depends" because of many factors. People will book Zoom consultations with me to discuss their own business ideas/setup. If it's something you are truly into, consider that. It will save you thousands of dollars to have a consultant for a couple of sessions. go.photographybusinesscourse.com/consult
Thank you! His studio is great, I'd really enjoy coming back again but I won't because of that parking situation. It was unfair and it needs to be addressed because it could really hit people's budgets. UPDATE: Actually I appreciate you pointed that out. I went ahead and added a blur where it says the studio name so I can protect him but still help other photographers do well. Thanks for pointing it out! The outside shots aren't important because there are multiple studios in that building.

@@WalidAzamiTV good morning sir I just sent you a message on Instagram regarding my studio, I really don’t want to say it here
I want to include dress rental. But how do you deal with client taking/ stealing. Does that happen?
I have open a studio for a year, your business tips are very valuable to me.
Please keep this rolling 😘😘
Thank you! Will do!

Thank you for the video
Of course! Do you have your studio ?
As a Studio Owner in Miami who often rents, its AMAZING Advise, true true true specially put it on paper and decrease your liability plus cameras
You’re doing it!! Miami is a hub for studio spaces 🔥🔥🔥
Also, people are shady, protect yourselves
Another great informative video 🔥🔥👌🏿
Appreciate that!!!!
when they are paying for the studio, does that include you and your equipment or just the space?
They usually rent the space and then bring in their own creativity, but most studios provide the basics of lighting

you won me over with the basic people comment
Good shady people just find each other 😂
Incredibly informative video, but did you have to bust out the other studio owner for the world to see? 🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
