Great response and insight on a topic I lot of photographers (this one included) struggle with. For me the real question I’d like to hear more about is HOW do you learn to build trust with someone to edit your work without having to try out a dozen different potential solutions before you find the right fit?

Thank you, as always, for the awesome videos. You’re such a blessing!

Here is what I realized: In professional photography, knowing how to color-correct and retouch an image is like knowing your ABC’s. EVERY professional photographer knows their ABC’s. The alphabet DOES NOT require *your* personal touch. You do not sell yourself to your clients with “Hey I’m the best damn zit & eyebag photoshopper you’ll ever meet, so hire me!!!” NO!!! Red flag!

YOU only need to do the few things that make your business unique- CONNECT, CLICK, CHOOSE… You *connect* with your clients personally, because your character / personality is unique. You *click* the shutter because DUH, your artistic vision is unique. And lastly but definitely not least, you *choose* WHO you trust to do other things. You choose a 2nd shooter who has a similar personality and/or shooting style. You choose a photo retouching service, album designer, etc. etc. who are also on the same page. Just because you let someone else take over a task, doesn’t mean you had no say in WHO got the job, and what they deliver.

For all you know, there are probably people out there who are BETTER than you at many things, and you can pay them a lot less than your own TIME is costing you!

Okay I’ve probably made my point by now haha…
