There are a lot of videos out there talking about the steps to starting a photography business, and I've made a few myself in the past. You've probably heard the usual stuff: Camera, website, portfolio, experience. But what else? What about the things they don't tell you? That's what this video is about. The OTHER (and sometimes less exciting!) things you need to learn and know about.

⚡ This video is brought to you by Focal the allinone tool for photographers to simplify booking, galleries, website, and blogging.
