Which gear did you use for the events? The a6500 and the tamron 17-70? Or did you have to use the sigmas to get that 1.4 aperture? Or... Did you use an external flash
Your video would be a lot more insightful if you actually showed the process of how you got those gigs because without it you basically told me. Yeah their is money to be made....if you can find it.
this is a very good point to be fair, shpuldve included this in the vid: -I knew the events existed and happened close to each other so they were on my radar (I've also previously attended the events so knew of them) -Each event has a dedicated committee that I had to find and apply to -made a website so I look more professional -found their contact details on their websites / social media / word of mouth and applied about 3 months before the gigs
That was very insightful! Not going to lie, I was initially a tad jealous that you were able to earn so much but then I saw the shifts that you had to pull for it and the events you had to go to and realised that it would not be for me 😂 Good for you though! I was wondering, however, if the seasons affect the number of gigs you can likely score?
thanks man! trust me the shifts were ruthless haha nkt sure how many more times I can pull it off (you saw me on day 8 lol things were rough) seasons massively impact gigs, currently im doing a lot of Oxbridge stuff so it depends on if its term time or not. And even if I branch out so say weddings etc. COVID has shown how fragile the events industry can be so I'd be hesitant putting all my eggs into the events photos basket
Cool stuff! Seems like you have very good connections and you can't buy those and not everyone lives in London. But it was very interesting to see what you did ✌️
yea that's true, these events weren't in London but having gone to Cambridge obvs helped - but having said that, wherever you are there's events, and where there's events there's a need for photos ;)
thanks! yess, an external is honestly so crucial for events photography in my opinion model wise it's literally a 10 yr old speedlite for my sister's old Canon camera lol

Good job Jimmy. Enjoyed the video.

yes to all of the above!
a6500 and tamron for 90% of shots (w/ an old flashlite flash at night)
for select portraits I used the sigma primes

model wise it's literally a 10 yr old speedlite for my sister's old Canon camera lol
