We recently connected with Jorge Aguilar and have shared our conversation below.
Jorge, appreciate you joining us today. Let’s start with what makes profitability in your industry a challenge – what would you say is the biggest challenge?
Some of the biggest challenges is how competitive the photography / videography industry is. A lot of time people expect to pay really low prices for your service because they see you are a small business. I’ve gotten a lot of “Thank you for your price but we found someone that can do it cheaper”.
Jorge, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
My name is Jorge Aguilar. I’m a photographer based in the Los Angeles metro area. I specialize in photographing weddings, quinceaneras, family portraits and studio photography. I’ve always had an interest in photography and how it allows you to capture a moment that can last a life time. A moment that can be relived over and over again every time you go back and see that picture. That is what mainly attracted me to photography. I feel that my attention to details is what helps my work stand out from others. I always like to give people a different perspective when it comes to my photography. A different view they may not have thought about when it comes to photography. My vison, my attention to detail and my creative mind is what attracts people to work with me.
What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?
The best source for new clients is word of mouth. My website and social media are great tools to showcase my work. However, people referring new customers to me and hearing it directly from other people how great my work is the best source.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect is when people get to see their pictures and are absolutely amazed with the results. It’s an amazing feeling when your customer lets you know that you exceeded their expectations.
