A Profitable Question for Photographers(continue)
If you’ve never owned a pet, you may, understandably, not fully have appreciation for the attachment people have with the pets in their lives. We recognize that they love and adore their children. But, we forget or never know the passion that most people have for their pets.
In southern California, where I live, pets are definitely a “way of life” for many residents. In southern California communities, people walking their pets are as usual as heavy car traffic and smog. I pick a spot with good foot traffic; I wait with camera ready; I look for a happy face; and I ask the question: “Excuse me, may I shoot your dog?” I can usually ask the question, get a response, take 4 – 6 photos and give a business card in less than forty-five seconds. I work fast and I smile often!
Appealing to the passion that people have for their pets will open inviting doors for photographers that understand that passion. By the way, Pet Photography is a quite viable photography niche. Brisbane portrait photography is about visually capturing memories, moments and companionship/relationship. Using “ice-breaker” methods are made much more easier when you know the person’s passion. Asking someone if you are able to shoot their dog surely gets their attention. By the time that they recognize the humor of the question they are open to “capturing the moment visually.”
The key to this method is preparation. I subscribe to the online photography fulfillment company such as SmugMug.com or PrintRoom.com (there are many others with varying levels of quality services). I set up the provided web site, print the business cards and begin using the strategy. Of course, I’m also prepared to provide whatever type portrait photography the potential client may be looking for.If you want to know something about Brisbane corporate photography and Brisbane portrait photographer ,kindly click on the links in this article.
