Entrepreneurial stories caused by mistakes.

Entrepreneurial stories caused by mistakes.

Xiao Min, who works in an office, has always had a habit of recording bits and pieces with a lens. Before getting married, wherever she and her husband went, they would take photos and put them on their own photo walls. Three years ago, she was pregnant. When she was eight months old, she found Percy and took a group of photos of her big belly as her first gift to the baby. Yesterday, she found Percy again, hoping to take a photo as a souvenir of her 30th birthday.

Percy's real name is Han Bing. Although Posey is the boss of photography, she is an all-round female photographer. From makeup to modeling to photography, she can complete the whole shooting process by herself. Among the three or four hundred photography studios in Nanjing, Percy is a minor celebrity. From white-collar workers in the company to starting their own businesses, from camera blindness to photographers, Posey has his own road to success.

Is it the wrong number? Photographer?

Seeing Percy, she was quiet and friendly, which was her first impression to reporters. Long black hair tied casually in a bun at the back, clothes are simple, shirts and jeans. Percy explained shyly:? I don't care about anything at work, so I dress casually. ? A colleague called her? Diligence? Photographer.

There is also a story about the origin of Percy's name. Han Bing's screen name was originally Bohemia. Bohemians refer to a Bohemian people who live in Czechoslovakia and live by singing and dancing. Han Bing likes a free life, a little nervous and romantic. Later, my friend's name used to be Percy, so he changed it to Percy.

Speaking of photography, Percy still thinks it is purely accidental. Until now, she often says to many friends: How did she accidentally become a photographer? Posey was born in the northeast and studied painting at Shandong University. 1996 applied for market training of a foreign-funded company in Nanjing. Although with the original major? Nothing to do with this? But I finally got a stable and decent job.

In this way, after four or five years. Later, the company moved to Shanghai, but Posey liked Nanjing better, so he resigned. From June 5438 to October 2002 10, she opened her own shop under Le Di Square, with a relatively large area of about 60 square meters. Because of the large area, she wanted to set up a place to take photos, so that more people would like to take photos of all the shapes I usually like. But at that time, I didn't know anything about photography, and I didn't even know where the shutter was, so I used the internet to organize activities and wanted to find a good partner on it. After the film came out, it was not ideal.

A week before the start of school, Percy visited her former graphic design teacher at Nanjing Normal University. At that time, digital development was not high, and the camera was only Canon G2. The teacher taught her the simplest way to use it. Unexpectedly, the first shooting was very successful and gave her decisive courage. Later, Percy's photography diary contained "My First Shooting", which made a sample in her shop. Since then, Posey has started her photography career.

It took a month to receive 600 yuan's list.

However, there were almost no customers for the next whole month. There were many photo studios in Nanjing at that time. Percy only takes photos of his hobbies. As for the scale to be done in the future, his mind is blank. But Percy firmly believes that hard work will always pay off. So, she began to run photographic equipment and printing shops, became familiar with all kinds of consumables, and communicated with every customer who came to the store for consultation to understand what they wanted.

Finally, Percy took the first order. That customer is a primary school teacher. Because of her chubby figure, she has never been confident and dared not go into the studio to shoot. But when she happened to walk into Percy's shop and saw the works on the wall, her heart moved. Percy remembers her words: You can practice with me. ? That's when Percy got his first income? 600 yuan.

From receiving the first customer who never dared to shoot in the cinema to the second customer who wanted to shoot something different from other cinemas? Percy began to have his own customer base. And every customer, from makeup to photography to later plane to film production, is completed by Posey himself. She joked:? Photography is not only mental work, but also manual work! ? At that time, Percy worked almost every day until two or three in the morning.

My friend's second-hand lamp has also become a prop.

The original studio found a yard at the foot of Purple Mountain. The studio couldn't be simpler, a second-hand lamp that a friend didn't want, and a Canon G2. ? The air at the foot of the mountain is very good. Sometimes I take my clients up the mountain to shoot, which is very tiring, but also happy. ? Percy is very cheerful. Later, the studio moved to the International Youth Hostel, where there were European-style courtyards and phoenix trees, so I rented a room to shoot. Later, the studio moved to an office building on 15 floor. The area was not large, but it was replaced by a professional camera Canon 300D. But that studio is not her ideal. She often fantasizes in an empty studio. If there is a studio, it would be nice to create more backgrounds and themes by yourself. So, last year, she moved her studio to the eighth creative district of Guanghua East Street, and the number of staff was expanded from 1 to five. Besides herself, there are three photographers and a post-producer.

She will create a personal portrait of 10 thousand yuan

In reality, Posey also has his own contradictions. ? I shoot almost all ordinary customers in my life every day. They are ordinary and have no shooting experience. They are more nervous and at a loss in front of the camera. It's rare that several cameras feel good. Whenever I take a group of photos, I feel that I have left the examination room. I often comfort myself that they are not professional models. You can't ask them like this, but you must try your best to shoot well. Everyone has different potentials. It's my responsibility to photograph them well. ?

Almost every photographer dreams of taking fashion photos, but at present, the fashion photography industry in China can only support a few fashion photographers. So Percy is dressing up, shooting and designing every day, occupying all the time. She once wanted to give up one of them and focus on the other two, but it was always contradictory. How can photography and modeling be separated and willingly? Therefore, when she can have a rest, Percy will try to relax herself, leave the city and experience life well.

Percy has always insisted on filming only one customer a day. Perhaps it is this spirit of Excellence that attracts customers. Now Percy's workshop has lists almost every day, 365 days a year. Of course, her price is also higher than the average studio. General wedding photography suits cost six or seven thousand yuan, and personal photos cost about two or three thousand yuan.

Posey revealed that there is the top wedding photography in Nanjing at present, but there is no top personal photo. This year, she will create a set of personal photos of more than 10,000 yuan. Of course, it is not that the more expensive the better, but that there must be good works. To this end, they will stretch the front line, from pre-planning to shooting, from the original 1 day to more than 3 days, to ensure the production of fine products. Percy is not worried about the future. She said that there are actually many rich people in Nanjing, but they just don't know how and where to spend the money.
