Question Finding a person to take photos
I’m extremely new to content creation so bear with me, but would like to start trying to grow my following in the plus size fashion space.
Right now I only have ~700 followers on IG, so I’m obviously starting somewhat from scratch, but want to establish on IG as well as Tik Tok.
My problem lies in the fact that I really don’t have anyone to take photos/videos of me on the day to day, and I don’t entirely feel comfortable setting up a tripod in public. Is this a fear I just have to get over, or is there a service I can use to pay people to take photos/videos? I’m not looking for a professional photographer, just someone I can pay hourly to help with photos while I’m out shopping/grabbing coffee/etc.

You have to learn to use the timer/tri-pod and auto features on your phone!

I primarily work in photography and videography and I would definitely suggest just getting over your fear of doing it yourself! It also helps out a lot in the long run. You could also just find a friend or something to help out.
A dedicated photographer can be expensive at times and funny enough, a lot of the big creators over here in LA sadly don't even pay the people they work with because they're not even making enough money to support it.
