If you’re a creative and you’ve ever heard…

“I can get it cheaper.”

…then you already know how frustrating that moment feels.

But what if I told you that objection isn’t really about price at all?

In my latest video from the Selling For Creatives series, I break down:
• Why clients say this (it’s not what you think)
• The mistake most creatives make when responding
• And how to turn that objection into an opportunity to CLOSE the deal

If you’ve ever lost a job to someone “cheaper”… this one’s going to hit home.

There’s something almost everyone in our industry does every single day.

Sony just announced their new 50-150mm f/2 GM lens and it's a beast! I had the opportunity to shoot with it for several weeks and made a video sharing my experience. Here's a few of the portraits I shot in studio and outdoors with it, most shot at f/2 except for the studio shot with the greenish background that was done at f/16. If you're a professional this lens should be near the top of your list of lenses to own in 2025!
