This is what worked for me when I moved to London and I know it will work for you too if you want to make it in photography in the fastest way! I know how overwhelming it can be when you're just a beginner, and that's the reason why I wanted to create this easy-to-follow video so you can apply this action plan from today and start getting paid as a photographer! :)

Finally thanks to Laura, someone admits that the smartphone camera quality is unmatched to a real camera.
Been always trying to say this to people, but they failure to understand this.
I’m glad you agree! I get a bit crazy when people compare a professional camera with a smartphone… it’s not comparable in any way. 😅 Of course they offer incredible quality and some work it can be done. But checking RAW files of my iPhone 15 and comparing them with my cameras… Huge difference. Mostly when trying to edit those RAW files. The colours and quality deteriorate pretty quick. 😅
@@LauraBCI agree 💯 😊
@@LauraBC I know a lady across the street who uses an iPhone, but she can't do any larger prints with it because it reveals the utter garbage pixel binned "high res" "compression". Or whatever that nonsense is. On paper the specs sound good, but I have a similar camera, and I only use it for wide scenes that I need to take on the go. People think "zoomed" on these things means you are actually zoomed in optically. It's all digital folks, and you are eating IQ for breakfast.!
Huh, this is like the first photography TH-camr ever that didn't start with "Gear doesn't matter". I love it.
Right? Gear DOES matter. If it didn't make any difference, people wouldn't spend thousands on it. My photos markedly improved when I got Canon 'L' glass years ago. Buyers can tell a difference!
I'm setting up a filming space in my bedroom and I'm gonna give YT a go alongside my photography haha! We'll see how it goes! I just like being creative!
Awwwww you’ve just made me so excited! Yes Emma! 🤩 Go for it! You can never go wrong with creating and experimenting. Tell me how it goes. 🎞️
Laura, great video as always, thank you! After seeing one of your videos, I launched my first home portrait studio. You broke the myth that clients will feel uncomfortable there 😅 I managed to create a portrait portfolio because of that! Now, you're giving great advice about searching for clients - creating a client database first is such a great way to do it. Much more room to organize workflow! Thank you!
Laura BC, You're amazing! Let's be friends and have fun together!
Yay!!! You made my day! Been waiting for this for forever 😊 can't wait 🎉
Awwww this is so amazing to hear! 😍 Thank you so so much! ❤ Big hug!
I have no words, just wanted to say "I Love Your Content" Thank you for sharing so much value and enthusiasm.
Hello Laura . I do my best to progress in photography on a daily basis in nature.Have a nice weekend . 🌟🌟☀️
Helloooo! That’s amazing! The most important part is consistency and progress. Keep it up! ❤ And I hope you had a wonderful weekend too! :)
Excellent video, thank you for the info on the ways to start in the world of photography.
Laura your videos are helping a lot!
Starting here in Brazil and you are such a inspiration 😍
Hi Laura thank you for such a good video! I'm a photographer but have been wanting to launch a career with it besides just side gigs and doing it as a hobby so this guide really helped with how realistic and reliable it was. Your channel is a ton of help
Thank you Laura !! Trying to built my career in Vienna at the moment and you are a great help for me!!
Hi Laura how are you? Aditya here again and amazing educational video from you again. I have always grateful to you for inspiring people like us who want to start photography. You know the last video of yours about taking the step to move to a new country and starting fresh again is itself a huge motivation for many who want to take a huge step in their career. You are truly a mentor who teaches us every day to a step to make a successful career in photography like you. I hope you keep creating and keep teaching us always. Hope to meet you in person someday in the country i love the most.Cheers Buddha bless you and your sweet family always 😊❤❤❤
Awwww I can’t be more grateful for this beautiful message! Thank you so so much! ❤ You made my day! It means a lot to know how you feel about me and my videos. It keeps me motivated to keep doing what I do. There is a lot of work I put into it, and comments like this are the reason why I keep going! So happy to hear this. Thanks again! ❤🙏🏼
💙👍...Congratulations on finally getting your photography course ready to go. It sounds like the perfect package with everything necessary for anyone who's willing to work to successfully launch their career. 💙
Thank you so so much! 😍 I’m so excited about this. I’ve been working on it for over a year as it was very hard to keep up with everything I’m working on. Then the surgeries I had to go through, then the move to Bali etc. 😅 But I can finally put my hands into it again to finish editing everything! I can’t wait! Loads of love and thank you always for your support, it means the world to me! ❤
Thanks so much, Laura! I have just recently purchased a used Canon 5D iv and a Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 G2, and I finally feel that my images are good enough to sell. The 7D ii is a great camera, but this one has a certain feel to the image. I now need to get shots with it to mix with the ones from the 7d ii for my portfolio. Thanks again for the direction. I hope to be shooting clients by fall. You are the best! Big Love from Georgia!
This video is rich with useful information (no surprise)! I’m excited about how many people you’re going to help with your course…the previews look amazing!
Informative and very inspiring.
Thanks Laura!! I LOVE your channel!! Very useful information.
You’re most welcome! 😍 And thank you so so much. I’m so happy to know that you like my channel! ❤
Thank you for this video, Laura BC.
Congratulations on your "new baby".
I'm still at the point of learning how to use a Light Meter and TTL speedlite/Trigger.
GOD bless you and and the people of Bali.
You’re most welcome Stephany! And thank you so much! 😍 That’s amazing. I remember how excited I was when I started learning how to use speed lights. I was so intimidated by it at the beginning but then it’s so much fun! 😊 Big big hug!
What a wonderful video presentation :)
Thank you so much for your advice and your time. I will definitely sign up for your new letter.
Please keep up the wonderful work that you are doing 😊
I love it Laura... Base on YOUR needs. Creatives need to understand 1st. I love the video as always 💯🔥
Laura, you continue to impress me every video. This came at the exact moment I decided I’m going to approach accommodation brands whilst travelling in India to build a photography portfolio. Great tips!
Great one. I will like to follow the course
When creating an online presense, shoudl you use your full name in your instagram handle?
Apuntada a la Newsletter y esperando el curso con ganas!

You’re most welcome Bruce! And thank you so so much! 😍 I can’t wait to release the course as soon as I finish it. I’m very excited to have put together everything I needed myself when I first started in this career, so I hope it will help many fellow photographers! ❤
@@LauraBC I'm sure it will help many people Laura, your passion for what you do is just fantastic.xx
Wow, I was waiting for your course . So happy you are launching it . I will happily sign up :)
I’m not used to comment videos on TH-cam but for this I need to do it because it’s so informative and inspiring. I was wondering how can I start as a beginner because it could be complicated…
Thanks a lot Laura for your advice and for all your content ! 🙏🏾
thank you xx
Amazing! Thank you.
Great value, thank you so much, Laura. I wish you all the best and a bit cooler air 🙂

Lots of fantastic advice. I wish i was confident in my photography to try and make money. Another great video. Just signed up for your newsletter
Very inspirational!
Thank you! ❤ So glad you enjoyed the video! 🫶🏼
Good night.
How do you ensure that a buyer, after buying a photo of you, doesn't sell it as if it were that buyer's photo?
What security does shutterstock give you so that this doesn't happen to you?
Thanks
Hola Laura big love from this side of the pond, I was wondering if the private community will also get the presale of your courses. Thank you for all the hard work you put into the chanel and making things as simple as possible. I hope the week goes well. Big love ❤
Hola Rob! Absolutely! 😍 I will offer the 40% discount during the presale to my amazing supporters too! 🥰 And you’re most welcome! It always makes me super happy to feel that my work is appreciated. Sometimes the amount of work is insane. 😅 So in moments of weakness, comments like this one make my day! 😄 Muchas gracias Rob! ❤
@@LauraBC thank you I appreciate you.
Will your course be available for the uk as well
When starting your photography business did you create LLC or corporation or individual business. i am concerned about legal action that may come your way. great videos!!!
Thank you Laura big love from Istanbul ❤
You’re most welcome! I’m so glad you like the video. Loads of love all the way from Bali to Istanbul! ❤🥰
Thanks so much for this, very helpful! Any other beginner photographer in London here so we can be each others muse? Would like to find someone I can shoot and they shoot me too so we can become better ..😊
Dear Laura, when will you do another report or something similar? With your own creative photos or videos. Kind regards, Björn
Hi Björn ❤ What do you mean with report?
I would like to see you film a story in Bali or do a photo shoot. Something real. I find that exciting 😃
Nice shots Laura! (Mikhail)
Thank you so much Mikhail! ❤
❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤
I love your vids I’d literally pay to have 1 hour 1-1 with you
I shoot Nikon, I have had people tell me that jobs have literally fired them for shooting Nikon, and they've had jobs turn them down once they hear they shoot Nikon..... I think that is ridiculous, and one of the reasons that has prevented me from taking it more seriously. I'm heavily invested in the Nikon gear now, can't really afford to change.
This is actually insane! Thank you so much for sharing. There is a lot of “hate” towards Nikon. Just because they were left a little behind in compared to other brands. But Nikon it’s also incredible!! And now they are releasing good cameras! It’s crazy to know that people were fired because of that? 🤦🏻♀️ There are incredible photographers out there shooting with Nikon. I love Daniel Kordan for instance and he is wildly successful. Please don’t feel intimidated by those stories. Being freelance nobody will be able to “fire” you for shooting with Nikon as you’ll get your own clients. And I trust that you can find studios or companies that will be ok with it. Just keep shooting and believing in your skills and gear. ❤️
I'm a Canon guy, but super jelly of Nikon lenses, esp. long telephoto zooms and primes....
I'm sorry but that is beyond stupid. I'd advise you to keep trying and keep pitching. If a potential client has anything to say about your choice in brand gear you can politely respond with the fact that Nikon IS a profesional gear brand with excellent quality, but also they are hiring you for your knowledge, talent and creative view which has nothing to do with the brand you've chosen. I shoot Nikon too btw❤ 😉
What I don’t understand is how to build a website if you do not have a portfolio of photos to put on the website and equally, how to build a portfolio of photos when you don’t have a website
This comment sponsored by Square Space.
I explained this in the video. 😄 Both of your questions. From the minute 7 I explain how to get photos to get a portfolio. And I also explain how easy it is to join a website platform, choose a template and upload your photos. 😊 Would you be interested in a video where I explain how to build a website? If there are enough people interested, I may do it, no problem at all. 🥰
Go to the rice fields now, its perfect size
I like to watch Laura BC on 2x speed because I'm crazy 😂
Jk jk. I love doing landscape photography slowly learning portraits with off camera flash
You’re a bit crazy because if I already talk fast, I’m not sure how you can handle me at x2 😂❤ That’s great! I love landscape photography. And even more now that I’m travelling much more. But portrait photography is always my favourite! Keep it up! 📸
Laura, tienes novio?
❤❤❤
😍❤️
