Two years ago, due to my brother's sudden illness, I quit my job and returned to my hometown with my husband to take over my brother's photography studio . The studio has three floors. The first floor is the reception area, the second floor is the photography area, and the third floor is the production room and rest area. Although I have been exposed to the photography industry with my younger brother, I don’t fully understand it. In addition, my husband is still a "computer idiot". At that time, he couldn't turn a computer on and off, and he was completely unfamiliar with "digital". I was really nervous when I took over the job, so I decided to learn it again.
I began to study photography and makeup techniques day and night. When I'm not practicing shooting in the studio, I'm watching makeup course video tutorials. Sometimes I only eat one meal a day and sleep four or five hours a day. Just like that, three days later, I started to pick up the camera and help customers take ID photos; a month later, I personally designed makeup looks for wedding dress customers; three months later, I independently took orders, put on makeup, took photos, selected photos, edited photos, and made photo albums. . My husband is mainly responsible for assisting me in various tasks. He has gradually learned a lot with me and can even complete film selection and photo editing independently.
Hard work pays off. Every day's hard work slowly pays off. The studio has regained its vitality, and my husband and I have entered a state where we can’t finish taking photos or making movies every day. Although the work is hard and tiring, seeing the sales continue to increase makes me feel that everything is worth it.
Half a year later, I plan to expand my studio and buy a store next to it. But my husband thinks this is risky, and is worried that the business will not be good in the future and the expenses will be high, which will waste the funds we finally recovered from the business. The two of us argued about this for several days, but there was no satisfactory result.
After my brother learned about this, he asked me to contact Teacher Xu Lianbin whom Yifeng said, and told me that when he opened the studio, it was Teacher Xu who helped guide the location of the store and plan the layout of the indoor and outdoor environment of the studio. I took my husband to express my thoughts to Teacher Xu. Teacher and used professional knowledge to conduct an evaluation and analysis and confirmed my decision. So I successfully purchased the store next to it and added a dressing room, clothing room, and photo studio. Under the professional guidance of teacher , the entire store was planned and designed.
Immediately afterwards I started recruiting employees to lead apprentices. Unexpectedly, after expanding the studio, business would be even better than before. I remember that at the busiest time, there were 23 clerks working overtime in the store. Although the work has become busier and more tiring, I feel fulfilled every day and my heart is very happy.
Under the careful management of my husband and I, the good reputation of the photography studio has earned us a good income, earning 500,000 yuan a year. We bought a new house in our hometown and got a new car, and everything is going in a good direction!
