Trailer on Sustainable Photography
When you entered the world of photography, you probably dreamed of photographing people every day. And then it turned out that most of the time you have to do all kinds of things that you don’t care about. Like marketing, emailing, and setting up workflows and systems. You have to figure out what to charge and how you update your website. I want to help you so you can spend less time chasing down new clients, and more time doing the creative things you love. I want to help you create a sustainable photography business.
I’m Ingvild Kolnes, and I’m a photographer too. It’s been 11 years since I photographed my first wedding. When I started I felt so alone and I had no idea what I was doing. And in the time since I started my own business I’ve made all the mistakes out there. Fortunately, though I’ve learned so much from all the things I’ve done wrong, and I want to share what I’ve learned with you. I’ve created a Mentor Program that I pour everything into. But I wanted to do something more. So – welcome to my brand new podcast “Sustainable Photography”. I’m so glad you’re listening.
Photographers like us are overworked. And that you’re not making as much money as you want, or even need. I know you’re dreaming of fun shoots with people who love everything you do. I want you to know that it is possible to make a good living from photography. And that you are allowed to charge money even though you’re doing something you love. That is despite what you might be told by those around you. When you’re doubting yourself I’m here to remind you, that you don’t need a bigger portfolio. You don’t need more equipment. What you need to do is work on your business skills and your mindset. You have to improve your confidence and not just your photography skills. You ARE good enough and you can do this. This is why I created the Sustainability Photography podcast. I want to help you along the way.
Every other episode will be featuring someone I want you to get to know. Someone who’s got a lot to share with you. We’ll cover topics like branding, money, education, social media and so much more. Everything that will make a sustainability photography business, I’ll be glad to share with you.
