In this video, Christian Carranza and I give you 8 tips on how to start making money as a videographer. We cover videography basics, business, how to start your portfolio, and how to find your first clients. Also a little bonus Mavic 2 Pro footage / Sony A7iii night time edit I shot while I was up in San Francisco.
We have pretty different experiences and wanted to share how we got started to hopefully help inspire some of you to do the same. Feel free to reach out to either of us via Instagram DM if you need help or still don't know where to start!!
