The Blog Of Greg Rollett

A few weeks back while in Miami speaking at Murray Newlands‘ Social media and Advertising event, I got to hang with someone that I’ve been working with behind the scenes for sometime.

Taylor Jackson is like the Tim Ferriss of the photography world (a wedding photographer to be exact). He gets to set his own schedule, work with only the brides and corporate clients that he wants to, outsources the stuff he doesn’t like, such as editing and making albums and spends his days off (all 300 of them) traveling the world, snowboarding and catching some sun in Miami.

I wanted to get him on video for a few minutes and we just avoided a quick afternoon shower when we shot this. It’s only about 5 minutes, and there are some great insights into running a business on your own terms, finding the clients that not only pay your bills, but that you enjoy working with and how to promote your business using video (even as a photographer).

Enjoy.

Here is another cool video that shows Taylor in action. He is doing a photo shoot with a Toronto DJ, DJ Bounce. Check out how he uses video to promote his photo business.
