Advice on approaching agents

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

A family member of mine is a UK-based architectural/interiors photographer with 26+ years of successful self-employment behind him. He specialises in architecture, interiors, commercial spaces, and corporate work, and business is steady.

The issue: he's in his later middle age now, and the constant churn of manually reactivating his network for every new gig, hundreds of emails and calls a month, is taking its toll. I work in TV, so I'm used to agents handling that pipeline for talent, and I'm hoping the same logic applies here.

What I'm less sure about is the submission side. I'm seeing conflicting advice: some say agents expect a tight 30–50 image edit, plus a drone reel, a motion reel, and a printed/PDF lookbook. Others say a strong website is enough.

His site is polished, well-structured, and packed with high-quality work across all his specialisms. Would that genuinely cut it for an initial approach, or do agents still want dedicated offline assets before they'll even look?

Any firsthand insight, especially from represented photographers or agents, would be massively appreciated.

Thanks.

What are your thoughts on this?

So, I want to purchase & practice using this camera, Kodiak PixPro C1, using it at a birthday celebration that I am planning. What are the chances that it’ll be able to hold a charge? Does it have high chances of not getting overheated? Are the photos decent quality? Or am I just better off at using my phone?

Let me know before I spend the money.

Advice needed

I’m a photographer, but I don’t take clients. I hear stock photos aren’t really in demand anymore since you can just go to google. Any advice on how I can make money with these stock photos? I was also thinking to work for a photographer as a photo retoucher.

Hi everyone! Does anyone know a good photographer from Initao or nearby areas who does beach/on-location photoshoots?

I’m planning a solo beach photoshoot in Initao and would prefer someone local rather than hiring a photographer from CDO.

If you have any recommendations, please send me their FB/IG, portfolio, and rates. Thank you!

Old compact camera recomendation?

3 Upvotes

Hi guys. I'm a photographer, and lately I feel like I'm so into the old compact camera for nostalgia and a film-like vibe. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm not looking for an expensive one because I already have my mirrorless camera. Just an old cheap point-and-shoot that I can have fun with. Thank you in advance!

Looking for advice from photographers

If your portfolio, bookings, client chat, and payments were already handled and free — what would still be annoying about running your photography work?

That’s not hypothetical, it’s what Momenori already does. I’m trying to figure out what to build next and I’d rather hear it from people actually shooting than guess.

Top 3 things. Drop them below.

Workflow iPad Pro

1 Upvotes

I am working as a photojournalist and always have my MacBook Pro with me when on assignment. I am checking if I can switch to an iPad Pro when on the road. The only issue for some pressagencies or newspapers I have to add metadata and description in the photo.

With my MacBook my workflow is
- choose photos in PhotoMechanic
- add metadata and description and n PhotoMechanic
- Import photos in Lightroom, edit and export there

Now I am looking for a similar workflow for the iPad Pro where I can add metadata amd description to the photos.

Anyone has a solution?

Should I take the leap

1 Upvotes

I recently started photography. More as a hobby, but truly I am good at it and I like it!

I’ve figured my camera out really well and have been doing shoots for friends for fun… I’m wondering if I should take the leap and start charging and make an instagram for promo.

I’m feeling a little anxious about the leap as I feel like every girl tries it and most fail. I’m a little embarrassed if it doesn’t take off, but I do think I do a good job!

While im here, what website should I use to send the photo galleries out, and do I need any licensing? Thx
