¿ESTÁS LISTO PARA SUBIR DE NIVEL TU NEGOCIO DE FOTOGRAFÍA?

Friend, I’m going to continue talking about websites, because I know firsthand what a great tool it is to get your name out there and connect you with amazing clients!

In today’s episode, I cover six major mistakes I keep seeing on Portfolio pages! These mistakes are not about photography, but instead, they are mistakes about branding, website functionality, and visitors’ experiences.

These mistakes can be costing you money because if a visitor doesn’t find your website easy to use, guess what? They are going to leave, without even inquiring, and we definitely don’t want that.

Obviously, in this episode, I not only address the mistakes, but most importantly I give you options and ideas to fix them!

If you find this episode helpful, perhaps you are interested in having me do a full review of your site, if so you can find all the information here: All you need to know about booking a website review

And if you want to ease into this topic, perhaps joining me on Patreon is the next step for you!

Friend, meet Eugene Drake the founder and creative director of The Drakes, award-winning filmmakers and photographers, specializing in wedding cinematography.

Eugene was born in Venezuela. He is passionate about storytelling, human connections, and keeping memories.

Early in life, he felt a calling for the arts which led him to study Graphic Design. While exploring arts, he started a clothing brand, organized a local design market, and acted in theater for almost ten years.

Eventually, he transitioned to director's assistant and opened a creative agency in 2009 for media content. He has been a filmmaker, and photographer since. His work has been getting notoriety after winning national and international awards.

Before we jump into the meat of this conversation let’s define what the word “disruptive” means:

DISRUPTIVE

dis·​rup·​tive | \ dis-ˈrəp-tiv \

adjective

The Drakes work is exactly this, innovative, fresh, fun, and unique.

In this episode, Eugene shares with us, how he feeds his creativity and the steps he takes to create work that stands out from the competition.
