How should commercial product photographers take orders to get customers?

First of all, I am not a pure commercial photographer. Let's share some personal experiences, hoping to help you.

My parents often tell me "Don't take porcelain work without Jin Gangzuan", so my skills must be great. Can provide some excellent works. Secondly, I can roughly describe my resume and experience in photography. For me, most of my commercial photography is introduced by clients. Every customer finally became friends. Later, they will introduce me to many resources. Sometimes I am too busy, and I will give some opportunities to reliable photographers around me. The other part is some short films released by me on platforms such as Youku, Douban and Bi Li, and I was contacted backstage to do some commercial shooting.

We should pay attention to and study everything, and we will also pay attention to some information about the photography industry at ordinary times. For example, forums such as Douban, websites such as Toxo.com, and platforms such as 500px can all publish relevant photographic information and take some orders. Of course, the more platforms, the more opportunities.

For the first contact with customers, there is a running-in period. For strict requirements, I think this is a good opportunity to exercise myself. Maybe we will make different findings according to customers' ideas and fully respect customers' needs.

Since others give you money to shoot, our service must keep up, because I always believe that many friends make the road easy. One day, when you go to a strange place, you will meet friends you met somewhere five or six years ago. The joy of being away from each other will make your journey better.

To sum up:

1, excellent skills;

2. Be kind to others;

3. Be good at discovering;

4. Service consciousness;

Step 5 be charitable

6. Love life from the bottom of your heart

Finally, good luck.
