Having rarely taken the easy path in life, I believe obstacles present challenges to build on and promote quick learning. If I had to compare myself to a composer, I would choose Beethoven; things might not always come easily, and I believe my emotional nature comes through my photography with its dramatic counterpoint of light and dark images.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Today, after nearly 10 years a a luxury product photographer, I work with great staff serving amazing clients around the world. In photography I love trying new things, always trying to improve my techniques \u2013 something can always be made better, more efficient \u2013 the product should always look its best.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.1&#8243;]&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Below are questions that &nbsp;we have discussed with Vadim Chiline<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 50px;\"><b>How you did to get your first clients?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 50px;\"><b>What is your entrance level in $ when you start talking to clients?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 50px;\"><b>How was your way to a commercial photography business &#8211; tough, easy or..?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 50px;\"><b>What is your marketing strategy?<\/b><br \/>\nDo you pay for Ads?<br \/>\nWhere?<br \/>\nHow much?<br \/>\nWhat is the best platform to advertise your business, based on your experience?\n<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 50px;\"><b>What is the most enjoyable commercial work for you as of now?<\/b><br \/>\nWhat is the most hated\/boring commercial work for you as of now?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 50px;\"><b>How did you get your studio?<\/b><br \/>\nCost, issues\/things went the way you did not expect, and what did you learn?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 50px;\"><b>How do you get prepared for a shooting session?
