Alright so i’m trying to grow my freelance work with photography, mainly in live events, brand product shoots, and ongoing business work for social media. I do cold outreach via instagram DM and emails if i can find one and have had success with DM, but it’s very rare. how are you guys finding quality leads and doing an initial pitch? I’m pretty new to freelancing and i still have a regular job so im not relying on this income to live, but i do want to grow it and gain some knowledge on the business side of things.

I edit youtube videos for myself but i genuinely do enjoy shooting clean and good footage. i just started shooting in S-Log 3 and using a good ND filter to dial in my exposure at my 2 native ISOs. Problem is that im not a great colorist (yet) and want speed in post. do you guys use high quality LUTS to go from Slog to final look and if so which do you recommend? I’m not looking for anything crazy just a great youtube punchy look.

I’m looking for an editor to help with youtube video output. i have a budget im willing to spend per video but im not sure what platform is best: upwork, fivver, something else? ive never searched for an editor before and want to find high quality editors that can grow with me and my content. Any suggestions welcome, I’ve edited my own videos for a while now but i wnat to increase video output and can no longer do it all myself.

I edit youtube videos. I’ve used artlist before and now use epidemic sound. Finding the right track is difficult and very time consuming on both platforms. How do you guys source music efficiently to fit the scene? It’s to the point where i almost dread sifting through countless tracks that i can tell won’t work based on the first 3 seconds of hearing the audio.
