In the middle of 2024 there is so much talk in the wedding industry, specifically amongst wedding photographers and wedding videographers about how enquiries are down, bookings are down.

The general concusses appears to be that it is more challenging to run a small wedding business at the moment, so for photographers and filmmakers we wanted to discuss ways to create opportunities to make money and develop additional revenue streams.

And as usual, we have a good laugh along the way and share our experiences of trying, testing and implementing those additional opportunities to earn more money from using our cameras and the skills we have developed over the years.

For this episode I wanted to revisit a topic from episode 81 where I talked about how the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 could be a game changing cameras for hybrid shooters. Now I have had the opportunity to use it for a few more months on a variety of projects I wanted to give you a more up to date view of how useful it is as a tool for hybrid content creation or as a pure filmmaking tool for weddings and commercial work.

I discuss the positives and negatives, how I have been using it. I also discuss some of the other recent gear purchases I have made and why I added them to my hybrid photography and videography set up.

As photographers, filmmakers and hybrid shooters what we offer to our clients is not just our creative skill, artistic flair or the technical knowledge we have to create photographs and films. Probably the most important element in our work and our unique selling point as a business is how we see the world and what drives us to do what we do and the way we do it.

So in this episode we discuss where our own creative inspiration and motivation comes from and how that influences our work and the way we run our businesses. We hope that this might stir up a few thoughts around why you do what you do and how it influences your approach. This is how you truly understand your why and what you should build your brand around.
