If you've ever wondered why you're not landing the brand photography jobs you dream about, this episode is a must-listen. I sat down with Karen Williams—keynote speaker, course creator, and CEO of Black Visual Queen—to get the insider perspective most photographers never get access to.

Karen isn’t a photographer herself—she’s the one in the room when big brands are deciding who to hire and why. In this episode, we get into the unsexy but essential parts of getting hired, like building a strategic website, pricing with clarity, and knowing your "why" like your career depends on it (because it does).

This episode is packed with practical advice for photographers who are serious about booking brand clients. We also explore how to navigate contracts, build confidence, and avoid the most common mistakes photographers make when pitching to brands.
