    Get to the point without wasting minutes

    I appreciate this video, thank you. I would love to see more on this subject. One of those AI editing companies wants to collab with me but I don’t have a clue how to put a media kit together. I’m a millennial, I barely know what social media is lol.

    Also, I wouldn’t hate it if there were a couple more inches between you and the camera. It’s a bit close 😂. Lol

    Really well done man. Thanks!

  5. @toddgravenphoto on October 29, 2024 at 9:18 pm

    Thank you! Immediately after watching this video I sent an email to a company I’ve wanted to work with and they checked out my work and got back to me within 30 minutes. They will be sending me some products to try out in exchange for social media posts. I’m excited to start building relationships. Thx again

  9. @JasonLorette on October 29, 2024 at 9:25 pm

    The missing elements for me from this video are:
    – Finding the right person to approach at the company.
    – The actual approach, general wordings etc.
    All great advice in this vid! 😎📸

    🎉good tips thanks 😊

  11. @titusnixon on October 29, 2024 at 9:26 pm

    Yeah, as a photographer/Videographer I learn to use the product that I truly like and incorporate their product in my shoots or use it as I would anyway.

  12. @tonesofhappy on October 29, 2024 at 9:27 pm

    Really helpful man.

  13. @UndyingSpartan on October 29, 2024 at 9:31 pm

    This was SO helpful, thank you! As an aspiring product & lifestyle photographer, I always wonder how people manage to score such awesome collabs. Thanks for the tips!

  14. @charlietwo6 on October 29, 2024 at 9:32 pm

    Very nice videos mate, super valuable information, thanks for sharing

  15. @leecooperphotography1214 on October 29, 2024 at 9:33 pm

    Fantastic video sir 💚

  16. @migflowers on October 29, 2024 at 9:35 pm

    I have quite a collection of athletes wearing XYZ brand and I’m pretty sure the brand would love to use those photos for their marketing/socials. I mean, they didn’t have to travel to [destination] to capture these athletes using their product so it has to be worth SOMETHING, right? 🙂

  17. @pematamang9268 on October 29, 2024 at 9:35 pm

    Love your content man so much. What is your best export setting for website photos? Can you write some pitch letters for travel agency, tourism board and hotel. I will appreciate your help.

  18. @Heiko.Kalweit on October 29, 2024 at 9:36 pm

    Thank you very much. You opened my eyes to – for me – a new way to approach potential clients.

  19. @sawyerboyce8603 on October 29, 2024 at 9:37 pm

    This was extremely helpful! It simplified to path greatly.

  20. @djepodjepo on October 29, 2024 at 9:40 pm

    Like the video, thank you for sharing. The only issue I see is the part where you offer a lot of value for (almost) free. This is promoted by so many photographers and videographers and actually is making other companies think that photos are worth nothing. This is devaluating the work of all of us. There will always be someone that will do it for free or ‘exposure’, especially for bigger brands. In my experience, companies love to jump on board for (almost) free photos, but then, when you have ‘build trust’ as you call it, and you waited for a paid job, they are surprised that you actually have commercial rates. They say: “hmm, but last time you did it for just a pair of boots” and now I have to pay 3000 dollar. What’s changed!?” I love working with companies that value my work for what it is.

    Interesting ❤

  22. @makaimnadze3799 on October 29, 2024 at 9:42 pm

    Thank you, I was watching your video as a volunteer model, looking for a collaboration for getting professional photos.
    Can you please recommend where should I contact photographer and also where can they see my photos to reach out to me.
    Thank you in advance.
    It’s my strong hobby. Start up

  23. @MuhammadTaha-r1l on October 29, 2024 at 9:45 pm

    These were very good tips brother <3 I couldn’t thank more

  24. @XxJoHnAhAwKxX on October 29, 2024 at 9:46 pm

    Thanks so much for this awesome advice!! I totally never even thought about trying to look at it from their perspective on building there business and also looking for the gaps where you can strive. Sounds so simple but yet I didn’t even think about that!🤣

  25. @leahleeds4289 on October 29, 2024 at 9:47 pm

    Great video! Thank you!

  26. @ZackMorrisARCH on October 29, 2024 at 9:49 pm

    This was fantastic! I’m trying to partner with a few brands, and this will help tailor my approach with brands as I continue to establish those relationships. Definitely more videos on this would be immensely helpful in building rapport with other companies/brands.

  27. @iemwill9429 on October 29, 2024 at 9:50 pm

    this is very informative,
    when it comes to photography
    i like your "perspective" on collaborating with brands LOL 😛
    keep it up! 🙏

  28. @pematamang9268 on October 29, 2024 at 9:51 pm

    Your content is so great and inspirational as always. I have questions how to travel Greenland, Norway, Canada Rocky Mountain, Italia and Iceland as a photographer with collaboration

  29. @marksands-foy7631 on October 29, 2024 at 9:52 pm

    I always send a mood / shoot board over to a model to spell out type of shots I want to do, but never thought of doing the same for brands.. Will certainly do this in the future. Great content, thanks for sharing.

  30. @patriciamontgomery8584 on October 29, 2024 at 9:53 pm

    You are so smart,Thanks for your insight

  31. @autumnknoth3977 on October 29, 2024 at 10:00 pm

    this is amazing thank you!

  32. @tedsmith_photography on October 29, 2024 at 10:03 pm

    Excellent video man. Really well presented, clear, and helpful. Lots of value 🙂

  33. @BartRos1980 on October 29, 2024 at 10:04 pm

    I tried with a few brands. To do one of my services with them for extra reach. Doing photowalks and represent their brand/cameras. They where interested. But it always fell apart. I get it tho. I photograph in my own style, my own subjects and I never would change that.

  34. @aracelivalencia88 on October 29, 2024 at 10:06 pm

    Really useful information, thank you!! 🙏

  35. @NickMuscolino on October 29, 2024 at 10:07 pm

    Great Video!! Thank you for making this.
