This week’s guest is Ian Weldon!

Ian takes an uncompromising approach to his photography, and that unique approach to his art hasn’t gone unnoticed.

He’s been included as one of the Best 100 Wedding Photographers in the World in both 2015 and 2016 and was named one of SLR Lounge’s Best 150 International Wedding Photographers in 2016.

Today’s guest has a cool accent, so I don’t feel like I need to say much more in terms of why you should listen to this episode.

However, I will say that my main takeaway from talking with Ian is that you shouldn’t be afraid to make the kind of work that you want to make.

Ian’s style is unconventional in the wedding world, and that style might not resonate with a lot of people – but for the people that it does click with he’s exactly what they’re looking for.

On this week’s episode of the Six Figure Photography podcast, we’re going to be taking a realistic look at what it takes to build a successful photography business.

Joining me today is Ryan Gandee of Gandee Photography.

Ryan is a straight hustler.

In under two years he completely self-taught himself wedding photography and went from charging nothing to consistently booking weddings for over $4,000.

We’re mixing it up this week!

On today’s episode of the Six Figure Photography podcast, I’m bringing on my intern to interview me!

Her name is Abby Lewis and she has been interning with my studio for just over three weeks now.

Abby is in the same position that a lot of you are in. She’s in the infancy of her photography business and she’s trying to figure out how to turn her passion into a sustainable career.

This episode turned out to be a lot of fun and Abby asks some fantastic questions that I think all photographers will find value in.

One of the core philosophies of Six Figure Photography is to deliver value.

Not only to your clients and vendors, but also to everyone in life.

I believe intensely that providing more value then you take is the secret to success and so does today’s guest.

Nate Grahek is a photographer, educator, tech maven, and entrepreneur.

After seeing his own portrait clients reaction to the custom mobile apps he was building for them, Nate founded StickyAlbums.com in 2012 to let all photographers easily create custom branded mobile apps for each of their clients, grow their word-of-mouth referrals, and their business.

In this episode, we’re going to be exploring the topic of how exactly you can use photography to provide value to people as well as ways to use your skillset to diversify your income.

Every year there seems to be more photography conferences and workshops springing up all over the world.

As small business owners, photographers have to be extremely aware of where we’re spending our resources.

Are conferences the best bang for your buck when it comes to growing your business?

I invited Jenna Lucia, a self-proclaimed workshop junkie and the founder of the HI on Life Photography Conference, to talk about the benefits of investing in these more immersive learning experiences and what she’s learned from not only attending several workshops but also hosting her own conference.
