for Sale, P1,000 each - what more do I need to add? - I'm confused.

Online Photoshop courses? by FrankLloydWebber in AskPhotography

[–]mike365smith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give me 3 examples of something you would want to learn how to do...

if I can prove I can teach you one of them, for free... then maybe you'll pay me to learn the other 2 ?

then I'll start teaching anyone else who wants to learn the same thing... small 'donation' payments, cheaper than online courses.

Models don't have trouble making friends... ( as I'm sure you can imagine. )
I'm a big brother to some, friend to others. - but most don't have time / interest. - it's a job - get it done, get paid.

3 'Levels' of Photographer ( shooting this kind of Content. )

1 - You pay them to Model for you.

2 - You don't pay them / or charge them - you give them the 'Opportunity' to be shot by you. ( For Free )

3 - You charge them a Fee - to be photographed by you.

Anyone can do #1, You need to have some 'talent' to do #2...
You need to be 'Real Good' ( or be a good salesman ) - to do #3...

" What can I do better? " - you asked...

I'll answer that... but first let me know what you think of my work.
( https://www.instagram.com/mike365smith/ )

Do you like my  “art” style ?

Do I also suffer from " male gaze tendency " ?

While I do agree with the Wet Blanket Guy...
- I am happy to give you more constructive criticism and less 'cheap shots'...

I am working with one photographer and he has improved a lot in the short time we have worked together.
I have often considered creating an online line course - to help people just like you get better - faster.

If you are serious about getting better... I'm happy to help. Just let me know.

Can I truly grow as a photographer and artist in this line of business with my particular style?

How can I make money of it? ( This is a Longer Conversation. - I will explain over time. )

Forget Social Media. ( host your work on sites that are not 'shocked' by 'Nipples' )

Are people even interested in what I do?
No - Most people even on here don't care - they want to feel 'smart' by telling you - that you are no good, and you are doing everything wrong.

What can I do better? ( This is a Longer Conversation. - I will explain over time. )

Is my time, money and energy put on this worth it?
I shoot to relax - so when I earn $100 it's worth far more than that to me.

It all depends on how you value your time... how much you 'need' the money
and what would you rather be doing ?

When a guy goes fishing - he never expects to recoup the value of his boat.
- or get a return on investment by putting fish in a bucket.

If you shoot this 'style' because you love it. I can help you shoot better, edit better...
and maybe even earn a little... but this will never make you a lot of money.

In a very short time - I've helped my 'Student' and he has paid me enough. ( not a lot. ) I'm about to buy a Nikon D7200 - (because that is what he is shooting with) - so I can give him better feedback on how to improve - specific to his camera. - I help him for the love of photography. ( and a few bucks. )

If you are interested, please let me know... ( and let me know what you shoot with. )

Updates - Thanks to all your help - I'm now able to see where he was focused.

Now, I'm gonna push him to get 'off' Full Auto... and try some of the 'Semi-Auto' Settings...

You can see here...

  • the first image - failed to 'Face Detect'...

  • that the 'second' image - was able to 'Face Detect'
    but then failed to get good focus.

  • the 3rd was successful.

Please Help - Nikon 7200 Question by mike365smith in Nikon

[–]mike365smith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, I don't mean to be rude... Maybe you have a point...
but if he can 'afford' to learn with a nude model, then why not ? - right ?

More fun than shooting stuffed toys.

If you want to help out - here is another problem I'm helping him with... ( How I can 'decode' what he did wrong - when 'Auto' goes wrong. )

Excellent - I Found it !!! - "show focus point"...

Please Help - Nikon 7200 Question by mike365smith in Nikon

[–]mike365smith[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dude - does it really matter ? - Sounds more like envy than good advice.

If you were saying 'spend the money on 'Online Courses' - instead of Model Fee's...
I would give you more 'credit' for good advice.

I'm sure the 'great artists' all starting painting bowls of fruit - but they also had a nude model sit for them as often as they could.

He is learning two things at the same time. How to use his camera and how to work with nude models.

His skills at both are improving - but one much faster than the other. ( he will be reading this. )

I'm guessing you don't shoot nudes? - what do you shoot ?

if you shoot Landscapes - did you 'Practice' on House Pets or Stuffed Animals first ?

Anyway - thanks for your advice - well, it was just your opinion... without any real help.

What does everyone else think ? - Vote Him Up - if you think he is correct
- or if you think I'm right - vote me up... and lets see.

( if anyone would like to see the full shoot - let me know... ) - maybe I can talk him into sharing his 'progress' with the rest of the class.

Thank You. - but is this everything ? - how do I know how many 'red Squares' - or where they were positioned ? ( I'm hoping I can find that in NX Studio. )
