Take care of yourself and ask for help before it’s too late.

In this episode, you will get to know Maria Broström who is going through a hard time due to the demands of her business.

Maria Brostrom is a photographer and videographer from Sweden who’s managed to create a decent career despite considering herself to be a technical failure altogether. She has come a long way by just being a pretty funny and nice person and has filmed and photographed around 100 weddings since she filmed her first wedding back in 2016.

Videography vs photography

There are some important differences between videographers and photographers.

With photography, you can take photos of the highlights, and then you can put your camera away. When you do videography you have to capture the whole scene from beginning to end.

That means that it can feel more labor intensive during the shoot itself, and then it takes a lot more time to go through all the material.

In addition, you have to spend time searching for the right music for your final video.
