Sometimes the truth is hard to take, that’s why I came up with “5 Reasons WHY you wont make it as a photographer”. I am sure some of these might ruffle a few feathers but the truth is the truth.
Reason 1: You’re Lazy and make too many excuses as to why you’re not getting enough jobs.
Reason 2: You don’t evolve and grow as a photographer. AKA you get left behind.
Reason 3: You say there’s too much competition and that’s why you’re not succeeding.
Reason 4: You’re using social media all wrong. Stop trying to sell and start telling. Use this example from the video to help you find more job.
Reason 5: Your photos simply aren’t good enough. Sometimes it comes down to the quality of work just not being there. But guess what, like I said in #1 #2 and #3 you can always improve.

That shit was RAW!!!
95% is business and 5% is photography….
What about passion??? Doesn't that really matter in photography??? If you love it what you and your best at it….. Money will come for you…. There will be always differences between business and following your passion…..
Wait… you had to tell ppl this shit? Wtf is common sense… google fu, buzzword search, reverse engineering… smdh
Bet I'll prove you wrong & actually make it! beat the odds
This just all seems pretty obvious, and the same underlying arguments could be applied to any field not just photography. Yes you have to be good at business to make money, no revelation there. Don't underestimate / dilute the power of the artform though. Both aspects are needed to be truely great.
Why do some picture look good in the camera, but when I get home look at it on the computer, I find they are not good at all?
You all killing me. If you buy a camera thinking to make money out of photography you setting your self for a failure. Cameras and lens are tools yes and so its a piano but Mozart never bought a violin to make money. Got it ? You want to take photos bc the hell of it , bc is fun bc it helps you tell stories bc you want to create a beautiful image and and the end share all your experience. If you do it for money then you are a business man.
yessssss!
wow that helped a lot! thanks for opening eyes man!
Best video ever Jared ! You rock 🎸 keep it up
Thanks for the tips man. I always hated the marketing side of professional photography or every other artistic medium for that matter tho. I feel like art schools don’t teach this very well, at least here where I live.
Strong medicine, good medicine.
I love this video!!!!!! In December I did my biggest push to get my friends on FB to subscribe to my youtube channel. I even showed ppl that I can see when and who subbed. I deleted a bunch of ppl who wasted space and never commeneted or liked anything I posted. but in Jan I just posted #newvideoalerts and let them come if they wanted too. I felt I shouldn't have to ask ppl who claim to be friends OVER AN OVER AND OVER AND OVER again to subscribe to me. Now im channel is slowly gaining followers every day. I just have to keep putting the same effort and continue to grow and learn and ppl will come. I act like I have 100,00 subs already. I post 2-3 times a week now and I get better with each video. I will begin client based work next month and my photography, videography and my website will take off #eccentricdigitalmedia
great tips, and reason why ive progressed so far is because i want it so bad. to quit my job to have all the time i need yeah no problem. put myself out there and ask people questions. hand my business cards out like no tomorrow. And enjoying what i do happiness is the key to success.
Amen!!!
I love ALLL of this!
Dude! I've been learning quite a bit from you. I actually have steady jobs. I'm always working. I will start doing video's. I kinda hated being in the national news with my face all over the place(Americas Most Wanted ) 15 police guns pointed at my head several times a day for months. Two weeks ago while at the FBI I found they had recent pictures of me from private messaging in my cell phone. These crooked ass police have promised to kill me twice(they are serious). So I guess fear has prevented me from wanting to have my face all out there. I'm having so much phone with Photography I'm just out in the city every morning around 03330-0430ish. That's really good advice on video"s and Vlogs you just gave. I'm taking it. I'm trying to get a web site up, I'm not so good at computer stuff(I suck at that Holmes ) Perhaps that's a lazy check. After all the lies about me in the media and cruelties therefrom I can certainly laugh and learn from photo/editing critiques. Hey, Thanks Jared, Peace.
Excellent video Jared! Totally agree, it’s fecking tough! And you have to keep pushing and learning! Thanks dude
Thank you for being real. Thank you for being honest.
Thank you for the blog idea! I'm trying to not do everthing you went over, and the social media one is something I need to change!
Outstanding Jared. Even more outstanding than usual. On point and succinct. Talent doesn't make up for simple laziness. Well done sir.
You mean your opinion ,
fuck you yes I will if I put my ass into it and I will
Harsh but real af. Thanks for the motivation….let me get back to work. I plan on doing this Beyonce & Jay Z shoot one day😁
Shoutout to all the people who took his advice, became proactive and made it
That was freaking fast! Never seen such a full-of-info video within such a short timeframe. Great videos, man! Thanks for an ass kick. Going to grab my gears and go working right now!
The real problem is: expanding competition with lower barriers to entry and shrinking market with respect to increased demand in video. Rising generations like mine are more stingy, and there are more people who are willing to do it for free or next to nothing. Granted, if you're serious you probably don't want those kinds of clients anyway all they see is the dollar sign with a blind eye to quality. It seems since everyone and Aunt Sally owns a "fancy" camera, and every sob-story "broke young couple" expects a nearly free wedding, with $10,000 results like she saw on Pinterest. Key is getting your clients to understand your value before they cheap out. Why? Because Aunt Sally is shooting JPEG on Intelligent Auto everybody. Nothing wrong with that, but it's not what tends to float to the top of Pinterest.
Everyone can be a photographer! Just be creative and be active!
your hair looks good today man!!!!!
Appreciate the honest discussion. I guess in the end all people can do is fail and learn from their mistakes or just give up
Honestly I was going into this video thinking he was going to say just negative but you can take a lot away from it.
If this wrecks my emotional state I’m going to be upset
