This is a good point you bring up about prestige. Their are plenty of photographer who want a physical studio to validate their work. The video was simply put and makes you have to questions ones motives.

Thanks for setting this up Dane. You were my first big inspiration when I made the decision to start my own photography business and it’s great to see you putting out these new video shorts. I met you a couple of weeks ago at church and hopefully I’ll see you again soon so I can thank you for this in person!

“Why is this line so hard for me?… Because you’re naked.” That’s classic stuff, Dane! Oh yeah, the content was excellent too, well done!

Good stuff my friend...still not sure about the shot in the woods though!? I would have to say that our studio space was a great investment and extension of our brand. It took many years to get to that point though! In these crazy times we have to watch what we are doing and continue to innovate! Campaign for Change

After watching it couple of times, it has become more clear to me. I think I just needed to open my mind a bit more to what you really were saying. Some photographers get a space to make themselves feel legit, while others get the space because their business cannot grow any further without it.
Thanks

Hey Brody,

Thanks for the affirmation man. Actually, you may have misunderstood what I was saying.

Like I said in the video, for some, a commercial based studio is critical to success. But, it’s when folks mix up success with prestige, that they can get themselves into trouble. It sounds like in your case, you got the order right. Stoked for you!

Hey Dane,
Great job on the video, but the way it comes across to me is that you are saying that having a space is just for prestige and its not needed. I completely disagree with you. If you are a photographer that only wants to shoot a hand full of weddings then working from home is perfect, but for a photographer that wants to shoot weddings, families and kids and shoot a lot of them, you totally need a space. Not for Prestige, but for success. I can’t imagine working out of my home with the amount of business we are doing right now.
Great video and keep up the good work.
Brody

@Ron Dawson, Commando!!!

@Christine Tremoulet, Dane + anyone = awesome… But thanks for the compliment!

@Jake Easley and Meredith Williams, There are so many great outakes, maybe once we get going we can make an outake reel.

I saw the link posted on facebook by Ron Dawson. I was curious so I click on it. Too Awesome!! Gosh that was good! I liked it so much I ordered your book:) I’m a videographer, not photographer, but I’m sure a lot of the info will apply to either industry.
