Bassam and Cat rekindle their Artist Forge connection and dig into his discovery of photography and spending a year mastering his skillsets in lighting, and posing, and upon his completion of that first year (2016) he exited his career as a VP in Aerospace. Bassam maintained a consultancy arm to stay connected in that industry for small and medium businesses but dove in headfirst in building his portrait business after assisting a friend on their photo shoot and discovering the joy that comes in photography. He was hooked on day one and hasnt looked back since!
As things happen and unfold once a decision is made, Bassam rented a shared studio space, spent a year portfolio building, and made connections within the industry with Pratik Naik, Bella Kotak, Sue Bryce and more. Bassam and Cat recap the milestones of his career as a portrait photographer and then they go even deeper into challenges as a male boudoir photographer (challenges in marketing) and address the sales process to encourage larger sales. Bassam has consistently been selling his largest package (what a problem to have right?) but within this conversation he and Cat uncovered an area where he may have been leaving money on the proverbial table. This conversation is not to be missed!
Bassam is such a brilliant business mind and paired with his artistry is a force! Make sure you follow and connect with Bassam below.
