Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area Vincent Peters of www.vincentpetersstudio.com doesn’t just capture moments — he reveals something deeper about the people we think we already know. He's a German-born photographer, artist, and visual storyteller whose images have graced the pages of Vogue, GQ, and Harper’s Bazaar, and whose work for fashion houses like Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, and Nike has helped shape modern photography. What sets Vincent apart isn’t just the magazines or the brands — it’s how he sees his subjects. He doesn’t just shoot models or celebrities — he treats them as actors in a story, using light, shadow and composition to find something deeper. His cinematic style — inspired by the classic films of Hollywood’s golden age — gives his photographs a timeless, almost quality that feels less like fashion photography and more like poetry in image form. He believes every photograph should be felt before it’s fully seen. And that goes for his portraits, fashion spreads, or his limited-edition prints. In this interview, Vincent shares how slowing down, trusting intuition, and embracing imperfection are the only ways photography can still mean something in a world obsessed with speed and surface. Following this conversation, will you have the courage to stop imitating and start seeing with your photography? Here's some more of what we covered in the interview: How Vincent Peters’ cinematic, Hollywood-inspired style proves that powerful photography starts with emotion — using light, shadow and composition to make images felt before they’re seen. Why slowing down your creative process matters — and how treating shoots like long-form ideas, not quick jobs, leads to more meaningful and distinctive photographic work. The overlooked importance of authorship in photography — and how developing a clear personal vision helps you stand out in a crowded, fast-changing industry. Why being true to your creative identity attracts the right clients — and how alignment beats chasing every opportunity that comes your way. How the shift from traditional publishing models to today’s open market has reshaped photography businesses — and why adaptability is now a core professional skill. Why AI and advanced technology should support, not replace, creative control — and how imperfection and restraint often produce more human, memorable images. The creative advantage of mistakes — and how embracing unpredictability, especially with film and continuous light, adds depth and authenticity to your work. How deeper emotional connection with your subject transforms portraits — moving beyond direction to reveal unconscious reactions and genuine human presence. Why technical mastery alone isn’t enough — and how balancing skill, intuition and artistic vision is what ultimately creates photographs that resonate and endure.

You want people to hold attention because you want people to listen to your story, and there again, you with form and content…If you don't have a content, you just shoot a pretty picture of a pretty person. That might work, that works for a lot of people but that is not necessarily something that's going to remain but if you reveal something in that content, and if you reveal something that shows not a person of them, but that has, you know, to use a bigger word, that reminds people of the human condition, suddenly there's something. – Vincent Peters iTunes Reviews and Shout-outs I check for any new iTunes or Google reviews each week, and it's always a buzz to receive these… for several reasons.

Via Google Reviews by Adelaide family photographer, Carolina Roennau, in Australia on December 23rd, 2025. I really want to say how impressed I am with PhotoBizX. The depth and honesty of the interviews are outstanding, and it is very clear how much care and thought goes into the work you do. I have genuinely valued what I have listened to so far, and it has been very inspiring! Links to people, places and things mentioned in this episode: Vincent Peters Website Vincent Peters on Instagram You have to redefine yourself. You have to come up with your own ideas. Authorship suddenly becomes more important, because it's not enough trying to be Helmut Newton. – Vincent Peters Thank you! Massive thanks to Vincent for an honest and thought-provoking conversation. Vincent’s story is a timely reminder that long-term success in photography rarely comes from chasing what’s easy or popular — it comes from having the courage to choose depth, intention, and risks over convenience. What stood out for you from this episode, and where has it challenged the way you think about your own work or business? Sometimes it takes me just from a production scale, a year to produce one shoot. Just in my head. Six months is the least of the time I take, you know, to form the idea that I'm thinking, ‘Okay, this could be interesting,' and then to really make it work. – Vincent Peters That’s it for me this week; I hope everything is going well for you in life and business!

Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area Raphaëlle Granger of www.raphaellegranger.com has a background in photojournalism and fashion. Based in Canada, she spends her time shooting weddings both there and Europe. She originally trained with the goal of becoming a war photographer — chasing adrenaline and intensity — before discovering a very different kind of intensity in documenting love stories. Now based in Montréal and named one of Rangefinder’s 30 Rising Stars of 2024, Raphaëlle’s work blends cinematic artistry with raw, honest storytelling. She believes that slowing down — creatively and strategically — is what allows meaningful work to emerge, and that the most enduring photographs are often made when the photographer stops trying to control the moment. In this interview, Raphaëlle shares how she built a near $200,000 wedding photography business by doing fewer weddings, charging more, getting radically clear on her values, and building genuine relationships — even when that meant uncomfortable conversations, saying no to “good” clients, and taking a long-term view in an industry obsessed with shortcuts. Here's some more of what we covered in the interview: How Raphaëlle’s early grounding in photojournalism and fashion shaped her creative instincts — and why translating that into weddings required building a business that supported real life, not just beautiful work. Why undercharging didn’t make Raphaëlle more bookable — and how raising prices became a positioning decision rather than a financial one. The nuance behind increasing prices without burning bridges — and why alignment, timing, and intent matter more than the number itself. Why Raphaëlle’s most successful rebrand had nothing to do with logos or aesthetics, and everything to do with values, perception, and consistency. How genuine, human relationships with planners and vendors replaced cold outreach — and why trust compounds faster than visibility. The internal shift that comes with saying no to the wrong clients — and how thoughtful referrals can strengthen both brand clarity and industry reputation. What working internationally really involves beyond the Instagram fantasy — including cultural differences, legal complexity, and the importance of local trust. Why Raphaëlle uses Instagram ads for positioning rather than bookings — and how visibility can serve influence even when it doesn’t convert directly. How sensory and emotional details in the client experience — pacing, tone, presence, even scent — reinforce brand memorability at the high end. Why partnering with an agency wasn’t about scaling faster, but about protecting creative energy while maintaining meaningful client relationships. Why “looking successful” can still lead to burnout — and how misalignment often shows up as exhaustion before it shows up as failure.

The group also has FB live video tutorials, role-play, and special live interviews. You will not find more friendly, motivated, caring and sharing photographers online. Seriously, that's not all.

If so, leave your thoughts in the comments below; let me know your takeaways and what you plan to implement in your business based on what you heard in today's episode. I lost weddings because I was too cheap. The planners told me my pricing didn’t match the level of work. – Raphaëlle Granger If you have any questions I missed, a specific question you’d like to ask Raphaëlle, or a way to thank her for coming on the show, feel free to add them in the comments area below. Pricing isn’t just about income — it’s a signal. If it’s wrong, people assume something is wrong with your service. – Raphaëlle Granger iTunes Reviews and Shout-outs I check for any new iTunes or Google reviews each week, and it's always a buzz to receive these… for several reasons.

Via Google Reviews by Houston and Sugar Land's family and newborn photographer, Danielle West, in the USA on December 19th, 2025. Absolutely the best photography business podcast I have listened to! I am in the process of launching my own photography business, and the tips and tricks that Andrew has shared on his podcast have been absolutely invaluable. The best part is that Andrew makes sure to ask the relevant questions that photographers have, not just the fluff that most other photography podcasts seem to focus on. He gets into the nitty-gritty of numbers, finances, specific marketing, and so much more. 10/10 recommend for any photographers who are looking to start or expand their business! Thanks so much, Andrew! ★★★★★ Thanks for making it easier than going it alone! Via email by Sunbury pet and equine photographer, Abi Wiseman in the UK on December 22nd, 2025. Hi Andrew I hope you are well and are heading into a restful Christmas with your lovely family. I just wanted to finish this year with a heartfelt ‘thank you' where it is most due. This time last year, I said on your podcast that I was planning to give up teaching at the end of this year to go full-time with my pet photography business. It was the first time I had said it, and saying it on a podcast listened to by many people (including a lot of my friends) made it real and held me accountable. A week ago, I walked through the school gates for (hopefully) the last time as a teacher. I have taken a year off and will decide towards the end of next year if my business brings me the joy I am hoping for, as well as the financial security I need. I also listened to Kim Hamblin on your podcast and realised she was the coach for me. She is the right mix of encouraging, nurturing and ball-breaking! For the first time ever, I have 17 clients booked in for the coming year already, and I am hopeful (and a little terrified!) for what is to come. So thank you Andrew. Thank you for being a good bloke, a great podcast interviewer and for helping me achieve my goals WAY more easily than going it alone! Merry Christmas, and here's to a fabulous 2026.

Honestly, it seems so simple, and it is. I think we are scared of doing the first move. We are scared of being rejected. It is very humbling. It feels like going back to high school and trying to find a place to sit in the cafeteria when we have no friends. It feels exactly like that. – Raphaëlle Granger Thank you! Huge thanks to Raphaëlle for an open and thoughtful conversation. Raphaëlle is the perfect reminder that long-term success in photography rarely comes from shortcuts — it comes from courage to make decisions that genuinely support the way you want to work and live. I’d love to know what stood out for you from this episode, and where it has you rethinking parts of your own business. I'm very determined, and I'm super ambitious, sometimes too much, but I was determined to make a living out of photography. So of course, at the beginning, I did everything. I did families, I did corporate head shots, I did a little bit of E com as well. And slowly but surely, I worked my way to weddings only. But that took me a few years. — Raphaëlle Granger That’s it for me this week; I hope everything is going well for you in life and business!

Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area Ben Potter of www.bpportraitart.com.au is someone I’ve known for a long time… and known of for even longer. We’ve messaged and emailed back and forth plenty of times over the years — there’s still a lot I didn’t know about him until this conversation. Here’s what I do know. Ben loves photography — the craft, the art, the whole process — but it’s the business side that really lights him up. He’s quick to jump on new marketing ideas, test them properly, and see what actually happens. And just as importantly, when something stops working, he’s not emotionally attached — he moves on. He works with coaches. He studies what others are doing. He listens, experiments, tracks the numbers… and then ruthlessly doubles down on what works — whether that’s after a few weeks or a few years. He’s also not afraid to invest in his business — and I mean properly invest. One of my favourite examples: he once reached out to a past PhotoBizX guest and bought their entire marketing email sequence — years after it had been sent — purely so he could study it, understand the thinking behind it, and adapt it for his own studio. Ben is part of a tight-knit group of photographers who openly share what’s working, what’s not, and what they’re testing next. He’s constantly refining systems, improving margins, and building a business that actually makes financial sense — not just one that looks good from the outside. When I first thought about inviting Ben on the podcast, my gut said he’d be an incredible guest… but I wasn’t sure how much he’d be willing to share. I asked anyway — and to my surprise (and delight), he said yes. And I’m genuinely glad he did. In this interview, Ben shares how he rebuilt his portrait business from the ground up, why he walked away from Facebook ads, how community fundraising became his most reliable growth lever — and the mindset shifts that allowed him to stop guessing, start trusting the numbers, and build a studio that’s both highly profitable and surprisingly calm to run. Here's some more of what we covered in the interview: How Ben built a highly profitable portrait studio by walking away from Facebook ads and leaning into a fundraising-led voucher model that delivers warm, high-trust leads at scale. Why community fundraising consistently outperforms cold marketing — and how trust, goodwill and genuinely strong offers lift booking rates and average spend. The real reason most “done-for-you” systems fail — and why adapting, testing and truly owning the process is what turns ideas into long-term profit. How relying on a single lead source quietly caps growth — and why diversifying acquisition channels creates both stability and leverage. Why running a photography business solo eventually becomes the bottleneck — and how a tight circle of peers, coaches and mentors accelerates better decisions and faster growth. How COVID forced a hard pivot from weddings to portraits — and why fully committing to one model unlocked higher margins, cleaner systems and momentum. Why raising prices alone doesn’t move the needle — and how anchoring, product sequencing and perceived value shape confident buying decisions. The psychology behind leading with premium products — and how showing the top first makes mid-range options feel like the obvious choice. Why sales become easier when you stop making them emotional — and start trusting numbers, averages and positive expectancy instead. Why messy action beats perfect planning every time — and how small tests, pilots and pop-ups reduce risk while revealing what actually works. How automation now functions like extra staff — handling follow-ups, confirmations and reschedules so growth doesn’t come at the cost of burnout. Why sustainable growth comes from systems, not hustle — and how focusing on high-value activities creates a business that’s both profitable and calm to run.

Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area Brittni Schroeder of www.brittnischroeder.com first joined me way back in Episode 337. Before shifting into coaching, she spent more than ten years as a professional photographer, named one of the most influential photographers of 2016, with features in the Wall Street Journal, Good Morning America and a stack of industry publications. Today, Brittni helps business owners (photographers included) grow revenue and reclaim time through smarter automation, stronger systems, and lead generation that actually converts. Her work centres around effective funnels and the kind of client experience that fuels real word-of-mouth. If you’re wanting to grow or scale your photography business — without burning out — she’s someone worth paying attention to. When we were chatting recently, she sent over a list of topics she’d be excited to unpack: The 3 Sales Funnels Every Photographer Needs Automation for Your Photography Business How to Get Your First 10K Email Subscribers How to Diversify Your Photography Business How to Create (Realistic) Passive Income as a Photographer Solid, right? Any one of those could’ve been a whole episode — so we dug into as much as we could. In this interview, Brittni shares how to identify growth opportunities, streamline your client experience, and build systems that free your time while increasing your profitability. Here's some more of what we covered in the interview: How Brittni realised she missed the creative side of photography — yet discovered her true strength was building the systems and automations that make businesses profitable. Why raising your prices isn’t enough — and how understanding supply, demand, and your ideal client changes everything about how a photography business grows. The overlooked signs you’re ready to scale: constant exhaustion, too many manual tasks, and feeling like you’re always “catching up.” The simple automations that instantly improve your client experience — from reminders to scheduling to post-shoot communication — and why they dramatically increase referrals. Why automation should act as a safety net, not a substitute for personal connection, and how photographers can strike the perfect balance. The three essential funnels every photographer should build: the post-purchase funnel, the lead-magnet funnel, and the sales funnel — and how each one nurtures clients before, during and long after the shoot. Why your email list will outperform your social media — and how consistent, value-driven emails turn casual subscribers into loyal clients. Creative lead magnet ideas (like “Best Bridal Gifts” or “Most Instagrammable Locations”) that position you as the go-to resource long before someone books. What makes associate teams thrive — and how scheduling apps, automation, and clear workflows can remove 90% of the stress of managing multiple photographers. The story of how one chaotic associate schedule was fixed overnight using Acuity — and how the right tool can remove growth bottlenecks instantly. Why SOPs (standard operating procedures) are the backbone of a scalable photography business — and how simple looms, checklists, and templates make them easy to create. What to look for in a great VA — and why dependability, communication style and cultural alignment matter more than the cheapest hourly rate. How Brittni uses tools like Airtable, Voxer and Marco Polo to manage her team without constant meetings or back-and-forth messages. The long-game power of having landing pages on your own website — and why SEO-focused content is still one of the strongest traffic drivers for photographers. Brittni’s biggest message for growth-minded photographers: automation, clear systems and consistent communication are what make a business feel profitable and sustainable.

She’s a good reminder that a thriving photography business isn’t built on luck — it’s built on systems, thoughtful communication and a client experience that feels effortless from start to finish. What I love about her approach is that none of it relies on hype, pressure or awkward asks. Instead, it’s understanding what your clients need at every stage, automating the parts that save you time, and showing up personally where it actually matters. That’s how you create the kind of experience that drives referrals, repeat clients and real growth — without burning yourself out. I’d love to know what stood out for you.

Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area Stacey Brown Randall at www.staceybrownrandall.com is the undisputed expert in generating referrals for a photography business. You probably already know, one of the best feelings in business is when a new client gets in touch and says, “My friend told me I had to book you.” That’s gold. You didn’t have to run an ad, discount your work, or chase anyone — they just showed up, already trusting you. The issue is… even photographers doing incredible work don’t always get those kinds of referrals as often as they should. It’s not because the photos aren’t good enough… It’s because the experience they're giving their clients isn’t designed to be referable. Stacey has made it her mission to fix that. She’s recently published a new book… The Referable Client Experience — A Proven Method to Generate Referrals Without Asking, and she’s built an entire system to help small business owners generate referrals. In this interview, Stacey shares exactly what makes a photography client talk about you, return to you, and refer you — and why most photographers unknowingly miss the moments that matter most. Follow what Stacey shares to create a referral system every photography business needs. Here's some more of what we covered in the interview: The mindset shift that helps photographers see referrals not as “luck” but as an evergreen, relationship-driven system — one that works in any market, even as AI changes how clients find us Why most photographers struggle with consistent referrals despite rave reviews — and how a truly referable client experience bridges the gap between happy clients and clients who actually talk about you How Stacey identifies “referral hot zones” in the client journey — and why spotting these moments can dramatically increase word-of-mouth without awkward asks or incentives The power of small, thoughtful touch points — like handwritten notes and personal gestures — and why they make clients feel valued in a way that automation simply can’t Why the new → active → alumni client-experience structure matters — and how managing client feelings at each stage builds loyalty, repeat work, and long-term trust How subtle “referral seeds” outperform direct requests — and how to weave these naturally into conversations without sounding salesy or desperate The smart way to respond when a client says they’ll refer you — and how to use that moment later to reinforce trust and strengthen your referral pipeline How tracking referral patterns helps you identify your true referral sources — so you can double down on the relationships that reliably grow your photography business Why personalised communication still beats automated messages — even with the best CRM — when it comes to creating a client experience worth talking about How playing the long game with client relationships leads to a photography business built on repeat clients and reliable, consistent referrals What’s on Offer for Premium Members If you’re on the fence about becoming a premium member, join with the $1 trial today and get access to the FULL interviews each week, a fantastic back catalogue of interviews, and have ALL future interviews delivered automatically to your phone or tablet. Plus, special member-only interviews. Your client experience is happening whether you design it or not.

The group also has FB live video tutorials, role-play, and special live interviews. You will not find more friendly, motivated, caring and sharing photographers online. Seriously, that's not all. When a client says, ‘All my friends need you,’ don’t pounce. Note it, plant the seed, and play the long game. — Stacey Brown Randall In addition to everything above, you'll get access to instructions on forming or joining a MasterMind Group with other premium members. These groups are super motivating, make you accountable, and help you build friendships with other pro photographers with motives similar to yours—to build a more successful photography business.

I recently had the pleasure of talking with Andrew on his podcast. Andrew is truly a wealth of knowledge, and I’m not sure who learned more from our conversation. What stands out even more, though, is that Andrew is an authentic and genuinely kind person, both on and off the microphone. I stopped listening to photography podcasts a long time ago because most of them felt like extended infomercials from photographers trying to sell me something. I never get that vibe with PhotoBizX. Andrew is a curious interviewer whose superpower is asking probing, direct questions that uncover the unique angles and strategies photographers use in their businesses, so he can become a better marketer himself. After this experience, PhotoBizX is a podcast I definitely plan to keep in my regular rotation. If you really want to tap into his deep well of knowledge, I highly recommend joining his premium membership and, in particular, reading his eBook “Book Even More Portraits.” I read it cover to cover, and even as someone who’s been in business for 10 years, I still found fresh angles and valuable nuggets I’m excited to apply to my own business. Thank you, Andrew! ★★★★★ The premium set-up is worth every penny Via email from Brighton headshot, fashion and dance photographer, Jaideep, in the UK on November 31st, 2025. Dear Andrew, Thank you so much for making me aware of this deal: I love listening to your podcast and think that it's brilliant! It's so refreshing to hear from you in this way, and a strong contrast to various companies that have taken payment without any notification beforehand for subscriptions I do not even use   Thank you for providing such quality information in each edition of your podcast: the premium setup is worth every penny. Best wishes Jaideep ★★★★★ My car is the Andrewmobile Via email from Calgary pet and people photographer, Heidi Grace, in Canada on November 31st, 2025. Dear Andrew, Can you check to see if I'm on the special Black Friday memebrship? I think so, but… want to be sure! My car is the Andrewmobile… always listening when I drive anywhere. ★★★★★ Huge Thanks!  Via email from South Jersey wedding photographer Gen Palmer, in the USA on October 18th, 2025. Hi Andrew, I’ve been meaning to reach out and say a huge thanks for taking time a few weeks ago to connect with me about mentorship & business mastermind groups. I haven’t taken steps towards forming a mastermind group yet, because since we talked and you asked fantastic probing questions (as you always do ), I’ve spent time thinking about the direction I want to take my business. And now that I have more of an understanding there, I feel better reaching out to others to get a group going! I will definitely follow up and let you know how that goes. Separately, I’ve been meaning to thank you for an episode you did a while ago with Stacey Brown Randall (I think it was Episode 492, I had to look it up!). Stacey talked about thanking and following-up with people who refer business, and I realized at that time that I wasn’t doing a good job following up. After that episode, I implemented a step in my process, based on her recommendation: I send a handwritten thank you card + a $5 coffee gift card for every referral, regardless of whether the client books me. So many people tell me how special it is to get those cards, especially because nobody else does it. I’ve sent around 40 cards this year, so with postage + the cost of the cards that’s a ~$400 marketing expense. And the payback is tremendous because 85% of my business comes through referrals. I wanted to write and say thank you – every time I write one of these cards I think about you, Stacey and that episode and send a thank you out into the universe!! I should probably send you both a crate of coffee gift cards as thanks! Hope you’re having a great week and talk soon! Gen P.S…. Here’s a quick photo of the two cards I’m sending out this morning.

Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area Bruce Vincentiis of www.bdv.photography brought something refreshingly different to this interview — and it’s one I was excited to dig into. Bruce is a long-time listener of the podcast, which had me scratching my head at first… because he’s a luxury hotel photographer based in Southeast Asia, not a wedding, portrait, headshot or branding photographer like most listeners. He started out shooting landscapes, drifted into urban exploration, and eventually found his way into a high-end niche photographing some of the world’s most recognised hotel brands, including Marriott, Accor, and Hyatt. What makes his story even better is how he learned the craft — entirely self-taught through YouTube, picking up techniques in internet cafés across Asia and honing everything through trial and error. Take one look at his portfolio and you’ll spot it instantly: jaw-dropping interiors, a beautiful balance of ambient and artificial light, and the kind of imagery you’re used to seeing in luxury travel campaigns, glossy brochures, and high-end resort advertising. Alongside still photography, Bruce now offers aerial drone work and video — with food photography next on his list as his brand continues to evolve. In this interview, Bruce shares how he has gone from YouTube photography tutorials to a luxury hotel photography business. This is a great story with many business lessons for any photographer to implement. Here's some more of what we covered in the interview: The bold move that took Bruce from self-taught traveller to in-demand luxury hotel photographer — and why relentless experimentation still wins over formal training in niche markets. How offering smart, low-pressure “portfolio builder” shoots opened doors to high-end hotels and helped Bruce land credibility with brands like Marriott, Accor, and Hyatt faster than you’d expect. The relationship-first networking strategy Bruce uses to stay top-of-mind with hotel decision-makers — and why it keeps repeat clients coming in across Southeast Asia. Why mastering the dance between ambient light and flash is the foundation of magazine-worthy hotel interiors that clients gladly invest heavily in. The behind-the-scenes staging process Bruce uses with housekeeping teams to make every room look pristine — saving hours in post-production and dramatically improving client satisfaction. How a consistent Capture One + Photoshop workflow protects your style, speeds up delivery, and positions you as a true professional in the commercial space. The simple, project-based proposal structure that works across branded hotels, architects, and independent properties — without encouraging price shopping or undercutting your value. Why adding drone imagery and video has become a competitive advantage for Bruce — and how diversifying your deliverables can set you apart in a crowded hotel photography market. The weather-proof mindset Bruce brings to every assignment — including how he still walks away with hero images when conditions are far from ideal. How clear communication, expectation-setting, and a calm workflow turn demanding hotel clients into long-term partners who trust you with their brand identity. The long-game strategy behind growing a hotel photography business: refine your portfolio, nurture key relationships, invest in the right gear, and commit to continual improvement. Bruce’s biggest success driver: staying curious, experimenting constantly, and evolving with every shoot — because in hotel photography, progress comes from momentum, not perfection.

Via email from San Diego dog photographer Alexis Heisa, in the USA on November 23rd, 2025. Hi Andrew! Such a great episode with Nik Buttigieg! My business aligns with Nik as far as marketing strategies, but it made my year when you were talking about the CRM built on the GoHighLevel platform. When he shared that you can create a single voicemail and send it to runner-ups, my mind was blown. It’s exactly the information I needed since I’m currently getting used to that platform as my CRM (through Brendan Taylor’s Togpod). Hope you are doing well! Keep up the great work.

More Insights From 600+ Photographer Interviews Quick side note: if you’re not sick of my voice after this episode, I was recently interviewed by Ina Jalil for The Pet Photographers’ Journal. She wanted to dig into the business patterns I’ve seen after interviewing more than 600 photographers on PhotoBizX — the habits that lead to consistency, the marketing traps that slow people down, and the decisions that actually move a photography business forward. We talked about what’s working for photographers right now, why experience consistently outperforms perfection, and the simple shifts that help turn interest into real bookings. It’s very much a business-focused chat, and if you want a distilled look at the themes that keep showing up across every successful studio I’ve spoken to, you might enjoy it.

When you walk into a hotel room, you know by instinct what the best angles are. You just know it, and by experience as well. So for me, it would be a waste of time shooting these additional angles, which are not going to be nice photos. It'd be waste of my time and a waste of the clients time and the client's money to shoot them. – Bruce Vincentiis Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach Thank you! Huge thanks to Bruce for being so open and generous in this chat. His story — from teaching himself photography through YouTube videos in Asian internet cafés to becoming a go-to photographer for luxury hotels — is such a powerful reminder of what’s possible when you stay curious and keep moving toward the work you love. He’s built a thriving business on his own terms by focusing on relationships, consistency, and delivering world-class imagery that truly elevates a hotel’s brand — not hype, shortcuts, or chasing trends. I’d love to know what stood out for you — what’s one idea or perspective you’ll take into your own photography business after hearing this interview? I get AI to put together a report for me of the clients website, all their reviews and the history of the hotel. So I get a good report on everything about the hotel, about what's included, what people are saying positively about the hotel, what people are saying negatively about the hotel. So we can also rectify those negative comments or reviews with the photography, or at least address them with the photography. – Bruce Vincentiis That’s it for me this week; I hope everything is going well for you in life and business!

Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area Nik Buttigieg of www.nikbuttigieg.com is someone I feel like we’ve all been on the journey with as he’s built an incredibly successful portrait photography business. He’s been a listener — and an active PhotoBizX member — since 2018. I first brought him on in 2021 for the Coaching Diaries series. Back then he was living in a remote part of Western Australia, shooting out of a caravan parked in his front yard, and only just starting to find his momentum. Then in 2022, he packed up his family, his life, and his business and moved to Albury — a large rural town on the NSW/VIC border. He hit the ground running and immediately put everything he’d learned into practice. We covered that whole transition in episode 531. That was two years ago… and since then, something has shifted. You can see it in the way he shows up in the members’ Facebook group, how he talks about marketing and client experience, how he approaches sales, lead generation, and running a proper studio business. It’s like watching all the pieces finally lock together — the hard work, the lessons, the discomfort, the experimentation — suddenly operating in full flow. I was genuinely excited to sit down with him again — not just because he feels like an old mate, but because I wanted to understand what sparked this shift… and the conversation did not disappoint. In this interview, Nik shares his low-pressure marketing strategy for filling his studio with ideal clients. Here's some more of what we covered in the interview: The simple shift that took Nik from shooting in a caravan to running a high-performing studio — and why your environment has more to do with confidence and growth than most photographers realise. How building a small, reliable team frees you up to focus on marketing and sales — the work that actually moves your revenue needle. The studio setup approach that creates consistency, speed, and predictable client satisfaction (no weather stress, no location roulette). Why diversifying your lead generation — expos, fundraising, giveaways, partnerships, and seasonal promos — protects you from slow months and keeps bookings rolling in. The generous giveaway and client-offer structure that turns cold leads into high-value clients without discounting your brand or hurting your averages. Why treating every client as a premium buyer quietly lifts your sales averages, reduces pressure, and leads to better overall experiences. How Nik handles Google reviews — the five-stars and the one-stars — to build trust, transparency, and resilience in a small-town market. The mindset shift behind hitting $600k revenue: do fewer shoots, sell more intentionally, and let systems do the heavy lifting. Why learning, coaching, and community support accelerate growth far faster than trying to figure it all out alone.

Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area Danilo & Sharon Vasic of www.daniloandsharon.com are a husband-and-wife team based in Italy but travelling the world to photograph stunning weddings! Incredibly, they met at age 7, started dating at 14, have been married for more than 10 years, and have 2 kids. Their roots are in fashion & advertising, where they were regularly shooting fashion covers for Elle magazine. These days, they are one of the world's best luxury destination wedding photographers. Their style is often described as editorial wedding photography, where they clearly step in and help direct a scene to get the most out of it for their clients. They also teach their workflow, editing, lighting and visual storytelling — and you'll understand why if you take one look at their images. Stunning does not come close to describing their work. Take one look at their Instagram feed, and it literally looks like a series of fashion magazine covers. Sure, there are some actual covers from little magazines you may have heard of, like Vogue! Seriously, take a look at their portfolio, it's to die for! In this interview, Danilo and Sharon share how they went from €50 weddings to a global luxury photography business with photography pricing starting at €50,000! Here's some more of what we covered in the interview: How Danilo and Sharon built a thriving editorial-style wedding brand that’s now booked out a year in advance Why charging from day one changes everything — your confidence, your standards, and your clients’ respect How their fashion and advertising roots shaped a high-end wedding style couples around the world now crave The preparation process that turns luxury clients into co-creators — from mood boards to fashion-inspired lookbooks How understanding the mindset of high-net-worth clients removes intimidation and builds instant trust Why investing in your presence — from wardrobe to words — is as critical as investing in your craft The simple change that transformed their bookings: adding Sharon to sales calls and personalising the connection The behind-the-scenes system that filters 900 enquiries down to 20 dream weddings a year How ongoing business and marketing education became their edge — and the real reason behind their €50K bookings What they learned about growth: don’t outsource your brand until you know it inside-out Why failing faster became their secret weapon for refining both their studio and education business And their bold vision for the future of photography — where collaboration replaces competition and studios thrive together What’s on Offer for Premium Members If you’re on the fence about becoming a premium member, join with the $1 trial today and get access to the FULL interviews each week, a fantastic back catalogue of interviews, and have ALL future interviews delivered automatically to your phone or tablet.

Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area Jason Guy of www.jgboudoir.com is a US-based boudoir photographer with 10 years of experience photographing women. In an email exchange, he told me that after listening to a bunch of interviews with other boudoir photographers, his processes differ from what he'd heard. He told me he'd never been interviewed before but would be happy to talk business and marketing. Following a little look around, I discovered his detailed boudoir guide, which goes into more detail than I'd seen before, covering topics like Hair Removal, Tan Lines, Teeth Whitening, and a Blueprint to Tone Up & Become Unrecognisable in 6 Months. There was another detailed post on his process for making toddler moms look like models. He has his price list clearly visible on his website, and you will love the retro photo viewer he offers. For someone who fell into boudoir photography by accident, he seems to be doing a hell of a job! In this interview, Jason shares how four clients a month became a $200K photography business. Here's some more of what we covered in the interview: The unexpected career shift that took Jason from painting contractor to boudoir photographer—and how his trade background surprisingly gave him an edge behind the camera How using boudoir as a “training tool” to master posing and direction turned into a business that helps women see themselves differently Why photographing models can be harder than working with everyday women—and how Jason earns trust and confidence from clients who’ve never been in front of a camera The client experience that converts nervous first-timers into raving fans and has them referring friends before they’ve even seen their photos How Jason attracts health-focused, motivated clients without relying on censored ads or social algorithms that bury his work The simple offline marketing tool that keeps bookings coming—and why Jason always hands out more referral cards than people ask for A sales process that never feels pushy—how he designs albums clients can’t say no to while keeping everything transparent and ethical Why SEO is especially brutal for boudoir photographers and the smart way Jason keeps ranking even when Google penalises his content His clever de-indexing strategy protects client privacy and still drives organic traffic to his site The email-first system that filters time-wasters and ensures he only works with clients who align with his brand and values The balance between risqué and refined—how Jason’s “show everything and show nothing” approach keeps his work artistic, elegant, and in demand Why branching out into portraits and headshots keeps his creativity sharp and his income steady all year round A partnership idea any boudoir photographer could steal—how third-party collaborations can deliver a steady stream of dream clients through trusted local businesses What’s on Offer for Premium Members If you’re on the fence about becoming a premium member, join with the $1 trial today and get access to the FULL interviews each week, a fantastic back catalogue of interviews, and have ALL future interviews delivered automatically to your phone or tablet. Plus, special member-only interviews. I don’t market to everyone. I’m targeting a specific kind of person — someone who believes they’ll look better by taking care of themselves. If you don’t believe that, I don’t know what we have in common. — Jason Guy You'll also receive access to the members-only Secret Facebook Group, where you can connect with other Premium Members and interview guests to help, support and motivate you to take ideas you hear in each episode and put them into action. The group also has FB live video tutorials, role-play, and special live interviews. You will not find more friendly, motivated, caring and sharing photographers online. Seriously, that's not all. The whole game is discovery — just getting people to find out who you are. Once someone discovers you and feels a connection, everything else happens naturally. — Jason Guy In addition to everything above, you'll get access to instructions on forming or joining a MasterMind Group with other premium members. These groups are super motivating, make you accountable, and help you build friendships with other pro photographers with motives similar to yours—to build a more successful photography business.
