Phil was down to earth and shared his knowledge of how he started in photography. We saw many of his photos and mostly were about weddings. He calls these his bread and butter,where he tries to do at least 20 weddings a year so he then has time to do other aspects of his photography.
Phils tips
Be realistic about charging and charge what you think you're worth.
Brand yourself and build up a portfolio.
Be a giver not a taker, This can also help bring work in.
Use many different angles to take your pictures.
There was an opportunity for questions and answers.This was another way to take more of his knowledge on board.There were a few of his photos that were taken by just being around,The example of this was a little girl who didn't want her picture taken, but he managed by watching her to take a beautiful picture of her walking in her mother's shoes. Phil also gave advice on how to get pictures taken without others looking over your shoulders - at weddings in particlular.Take the bride and groom away from their party to get their special shots. Towards the end of the talk Phil mentioned that he has also sold to firms that sell greatings cards and calenders. The calenders can be used as a selling tool for more work and an instant reminder, constantly in view of the companies.
