The Portrait System - Something Personal: The Big Picture with Matthew Jordan Smith
The Portrait System - Something Personal: The Big Picture with Matthew Jordan Smith
There are moments in our lives that bring everything else into perspective. Losing someone we love does that like nothing else. In this poignant talk from the TPM 2022 Conference Main Stage, Matthew Jordan Smith celebrates the photographer’s calling in life by bringing its importance sharply into focus. Matthew talks about what he loves and values about his career as a celebrity photographer, and he also tells personal stories about documenting the last 13 years of Aretha Franklin’s life and a lifetime of documenting his parents and family. Having lost his father a month ago to the day from this talk, Matthew shares how that experience impressed on him the importance of not just taking beautiful photographs, but also telling the stories of our life, which become ever more precious with the passing of time.

The Portrait System - Putting Your Words Out There with Damaly Shepherd
The Portrait System - Putting Your Words Out There with Damaly Shepherd
No matter how beautiful your images are, you won’t make sales if potential clients don’t know who you are, what your services are, and why they should be buying from you. You may have figured out how to hack the social media algorithm, but that is not the same as selling. Stop playing hard to get. It’s time to craft an irresistible invitation through marketing. Damaly will teach you how to tell stories that complement your images in such a way that people won’t be able to help but see themselves taking part in the experience you provide. Equally as important, they will understand the cost and be ready and eager to buy.

The Portrait System - Sales Contact 2 — The Consultation
The Portrait System - Sales Contact 2 — The Consultation
Sales Contact #2: The Consultation. The consultation is probably the most important point of contact with your clients. If you find yourself running into challenges with your clients later on during the shoot or reveal, almost always the problem started in the consultation step. So much of how we connect these days is by phone and email. We don’t always get to connect face to face. I believe whole heartedly that the consultation is the most important selling point where the best selling is done and the future connection is established. We educate and get excitement and commitment and establish stage one of relationship building and trust. This can happen over the phone or in person, but it is crucial to connect and educate your client in preparation for their shoot and future reveal.

The Portrait System - Sales & Selling
The Portrait System - Sales & Selling
When I first went out on my own, I hit rock bottom. I desperately wanted to thrive in business, and I loved my folio. But I discovered I couldn’t sell, hated selling, had an intense fear of rejection, and a complete fear of money. Bottom line: I wasn’t selling myself, I wasn’t receiving money, and I certainly was not valuing myself and my work. This month’s focus on sales is not an exercise in getting rich quick. It’s about getting paid for your work and your talent. I am not a trust fund baby. I did the work, and you can too. I simply learned to sell with confidence and value. And this month I show you how.
