Devin Robinson of www.anchorandveilphotography.com shares how to utilise Instagram to grow your photography business in a way I never considered. It's long term approach that does take dedication and work but there's no doubt, Devin has it down to an art and reveals exactly what he's doing in this candid interview. And this interview came about when Devin sent me the following message… I have to say, I am eternally thankful for your podcast. I remember listening to you on my commute to my teaching job as I started to build my photography business. I first heard of Fer Juaristi on your podcast, who then became my favourite photographer and is now a great friend of mine! I hope you are ok with me asking but I would LOVE to be on your podcast! And this is the part of the email which led to this recording… Since those times. I have grown my business to a high-end destination wedding business where I travel all over the world photographing weddings in 10 different countries and over 20 states. 2 years ago I photographed 45 weddings averaging 5.5K, this year I have 26 weddings and the average is 7K. I also have 5 photographers and 2 cinematographers shooting for me and I reach multiple 50K months. I will receive over 400 Inquiries this year So far this year (September) I've generated 100 wedding leads and 130K from Instagram ALONE and will hit about 450K this year. All of that to say, thank you. I am SUPER thankful for you starting your podcast and it would be an absolute honour to be on yours. Devin. That email sparked this interview where Devin shares a ton about starting, building and accelerating the growth of his wedding photography business, by growing his team, implementing processes and dedicating himself to quality lead generation using Instagram in a way you've probably never considered.
