In this episode of the Behind the Frame podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with the multi-talented Magi Fisher of The Artist's Lawyer. Magi shared her fascinating journey from photographing professional surfers to becoming a luxury wedding photographer and receiving a Juris Doctorate from Rutgers Law and starting the Artists Lawyer along the way.

Magi's story is a unique blend of artistry and legal expertise, showcasing her ability to navigate both worlds with finesse. She shared how her passion for photography led her to document the lives of surfers and engage in philanthropic work, which eventually evolved into a thriving photography business.

One of the key highlights of our conversation was Magi's transition from shooting weddings for lower prices to focusing on luxury events with higher price points, going from dreaming of charging $1500 to charging well over $20,000. She discussed the importance of building a strong brand, setting minimum pricing standards, and the gradual evolution towards shooting luxury weddings.

Magi also delved into the dynamics of managing a team of photographers and the joy she finds in supporting and empowering other women in the industry. She emphasized the significance of providing high-paying jobs with flexible schedules and creating a supportive work environment.

Throughout the episode, Magi shared insights on the intersection of artistry and business, the importance of having strong contracts, and the value of building trust with clients and planners. Her journey serves as an inspiration for creative entrepreneurs looking to carve their path in the industry and find success through dedication, innovation, and a commitment to excellence.
