Do you think becoming a good videographer or a good photographer is enough to be successful in today's competitive world?
Is understanding the technical workings of camera same as understanding the workings of the business of video or photo?
Is running a business equivalent to taking a great photo or shooting a good quality video?
Clearly, skills needed to run a business are different from technical and creative skills needed to complete a project. They are called 'Soft skills'. These skills help you become a better professional, a better marketer and a better businessman. Ultimately, video production is a business like other businesses. Why treat it differently?
There are 4 main soft skills that every photographer and videographer should learn. They are:
Negotiation skills
Pricing skills
Interview taking skills
Social skills
Surprisingly, most photographers and videographers ignore these soft skills. There is a general feeling that these skills are secondary and not as important as knowing the camera settings. That's why many freelance videographers and photographers struggle with low fees, high competition and overall lack of confidence.
In the current COVID era these skills will set you apart from others!
These skills are also never taught in training institutes. If you are going to be selling in a market place you better be known for something then just be another cameraman or another photographer.
Especially in today's market, there is a mad rush to become a photographer or a videographer which results in a race to the bottom of the price range. Only way to survive long term is to be smart and differerent than others.
