Does it feel like you’re creating and producing content at a fevered pitch, but never quite getting a stable pool of clients or like you’re constantly re-inventing the wheel of your photography or videography business? Well, that means it’s probably time to get back to the fundamentals in today’s masterclass on making your photography business hum with our guest, BP Miller.

BP Miller is a founding partner and senior photojournalist at Chorus Photography. Founded in 2007, Chorus has gone from a single shooter operation in Philadelphia to establishing studios on both coasts, with a roster of impressive clientele, including The Drug Information Association, Beasley Broadcasting, Habitat For Humanity, and many others.

BP Miller is an award winning photographer, photojournalist and speaker whose work has been curated by The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, and published in numerous publications like The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Philadelphia Daily News, Washington Post, Rolling Stone & The New York Times.

BP is an active member of RTDNA (Radio, Television & Digital News Association), an Edward R. Murrow Awards Judge, former Mid-Atlantic Chair of the National Press Photographers Association and a former board member of the Northern Short Course In Photojournalism. He can be found speaking across the country about non-profit photography as well as photojournalists' rights.

In today’s episode, BP and I dig in deep on what it means to be a photographer with integrity for your work, impressing upon your clients the value of the photos and videos that you create, and taking time for your own mental health as a visual storyteller. There is so much gold in this episode, all delivered with BP’s unique perspective on our industry and his telltale voice and humor.

So, as always — Keep seeing, keep shooting, and keep putting your best Photo Forward. LATER!
