Covid 19 Pandemic has hit businesses hard this year.
With Weddings being postponed until 2021 and businesses struggling to survive, our photography industry is suffering, but I've found new ways to re-energise my business and look to the future with positivity.
I've been looking at ways to improve my online presence. With improvements to my website and social media. Keeping active with Instagram, Facebook and Twitter has shown that I'm still here and keeping busy with my photography.
Remember why you took up photography in the first place and thats to take great images. Getting out and about has kept my skills toned and has enabled me to create a great catalogue of stock images...which brings me on to just that subject(Stock Images)
Stock Images
There are some great stock image site for photographers to send their work to, enabling them to earn a few quid along the way.
To name a few. They vary in commission and are usually free to register with. Keep an eye on what images are trending and take similar yourself.
Studying
Even with 20 years as a pro photographer under my belt I can still learn new techniques and tricks. We have to stay one step ahead and developing new ideas and tricks will make you stand out. Ive even gone down the route of studying for my commercial drone pilots license, which I will be able to offer a new service to my clients.
I am passionate about my industry and want to pass on some positivity that we will come out the other side of these terrible times. Keep snapping and keep going.
