<a href="https://photobizx.com/PBX592-Premium-Amy-Donovan" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area </a><br /> Amy Donovan of <a href="https://amydonovanphoto.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.amydonovanphoto.com</a> and <a href="https://www.amydonovanboudoir.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.amydonovanboudoir.com</a> was someone I was looking forward to recording with, following an email exchange, seeing both her websites and multiple social media accounts.<br /> For example…<br /> I love that her two websites are basically one-page websites, just like those promoted and shared by <a href="https://photobizx.com/special-jeff-brown-how-to-build-a-photography-website-that-works">photography business coach Jeff Brown in his recent podcast interview.</a><br /> And Amy tells me her websites have been performing well. Between them and Facebook ads, she says she has been lucky to stay busy for many years.<br /> Amy focuses on two separate genres—boudoir and weddings—depending on the season. Her annual revenue ranges from $150,000 to $180,000.<br /> In that email exchange, I asked Amy what she hoped to cover in this interview, and she said…<br /> I’m not looking to promote my photography business through interviews. My current focus is sharing why I do what I do. I've been noticing an epidemic of our culture using photography to diminish women's value. This isn't philosophical talk or a fancy public speaking point. I see the negative impact every day in my work.<br /> My reply was an enthusiastic… I’m all in for a discussion on this topic.<br /> However, as a business-focused podcast, we will be keen to hear about Amy, her photography business, and how these topics tie into her marketing, ads, referrals, etc.<br /> She was all in, and here we are, talking about weddings to boudoir and how Amy's minimalist approach has led to $180k photography business.<br /> Here's some more of what we covered in the interview:<br /> <br /> What’s on Offer for Premium Members<br /> If you’re on the fence about becoming a premium member, join with the <a href="https://photobizx.com/try" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$1 trial today</a> and get access to the FULL interviews each week, a fantastic back catalogue of interviews, and have ALL future interviews delivered automatically to your phone or tablet.<br /> Plus, special member-only interviews.<br /> Hearing somebody say, ‘You look great.' ‘You're doing a good job.' ‘You have good posture.' ‘You have nice eyes.' Whatever it is, hearing a good thing about yourself instantly changes the way that you feel about yourself, and it instantly disarms you, and it makes you breathe easier and your shoulders come down. – Amy Donovan<br /> You'll also receive access to the members-only Secret Facebook Group, where you can connect with other Premium Members and interview guests to help, support and motivate you to take ideas you hear in each episode and put them into action. The group also has FB live video tutorials, role-play, and special live interviews. You will not find more friendly, motivated, caring and sharing photographers online.<br /> Seriously, that's not all.<br /> Most of my clients who would book through Instagram will tell me, when they show up through their session, that they have followed me for years. So none of that is like instantaneous. – Amy Donovan<br /> In addition to everything above, you'll get access to instructions on forming or joining a MasterMind Group with other premium members. These groups are super motivating, make you accountable, and build friendships with other pro photographers with motives similar to yours – to build a more successful photography business.<br /> <br /> What is your big takeaway?<br /> Following this interview, I’d love to know if you're taking anything from what Amy shared.

<a href="https://photobizx.com/PBX591-Premium-Aurelie-Graillot" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area </a><br /> Aurelie Graillot of <a href="https://www.aureliegraillot.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.aureliegraillot.com</a> appeared on my radar after interviewing Steve Tepp from Rights Click, where we talked about all things copyright in <a href="https://photobizx.com/PBX583-Premium-Steve-Tepp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">episode 583</a>.<br /> After the email introduction, I looked at her website and was blown away! This French-born, American-raised photographer describes herself as a still-life photographer, but I don't feel that description goes far enough.<br /> I would say commercial, advertising, beauty and cosmetics photographer who is an absolute master of photography, light, colour, composition and style.<br /> If you suffer from imposter syndrome as a photographer… do not visit Aurelie's website… her work is truly incredible.<br /> Aurelie’s insights are a goldmine for commercial, advertising, and branding photographers looking to build a sustainable, authentic career. Whether you're just starting out or already established, this interview offers real-world advice on everything from brand-building to adapting to a tech-driven world while balancing creativity, business, and life lessons from this super-talented commercial photographer.<br /> Here's some more of what we covered in the interview:<br /> <br /> What’s on Offer for Premium Members<br /> If you’re on the fence about becoming a premium member, join with the <a href="https://photobizx.com/try" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$1 trial today</a> and get access to the FULL interviews each week, a fantastic back catalogue of interviews, and have ALL future interviews delivered automatically to your phone or tablet.<br /> Plus, special member-only interviews.<br /> Low-balling your own rate is not necessarily a good business strategy… You’re devaluing yourself if you bring down your rate just to try to get a job. – Aurelie Graillot<br /> You'll also receive access to the members-only Secret Facebook Group, where you can connect with other Premium Members and interview guests to help, support and motivate you to take ideas you hear in each episode and put them into action. The group also has FB live video tutorials, role-play, and special live interviews. You will not find more friendly, motivated, caring and sharing photographers online.<br /> Seriously, that's not all.<br /> You have to ask yourself, in the commercial world, what is the message that my client is trying to send out to the world, and I need to make sure that’s set or shown. – Aurelie Graillot<br /> In addition to everything above, you'll get access to instructions on forming or joining a MasterMind Group with other premium members. These groups are super motivating, make you accountable, and build friendships with other pro photographers with motives similar to yours – to build a more successful photography business.<br /> <br /> What is your big takeaway?<br /> Following this interview, I’d love to know if you're taking anything from what Aurelie shared. Is there something you heard that excited or motivated you to the point where you thought, yeah, I'm going to do that! If so, leave your thoughts in the comments below; let me know your takeaways and what you plan to implement in your business based on what you heard in today's episode.<br /> Regarding AI and photography, it's our ideas that we're putting together, and if you can make it work in a really elegant way, then it works. If it looks cheap, that's what cheapens it. – Aurelie Graillot<br /> If you have any questions I missed, a specific question you’d like to ask Aurelie or want to say thank you for coming on the show, feel free to add them in the comments area below.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
