The Challenge
I've always believed that photography is more than just images—it's about mood, detail, and storytelling. I wanted to reach smaller brands that are more likely to see an email or have the time to connect, while also having the option for larger brands as I scale my business.
Finding the Right Platform
Using PitchBrand has been a real turning point for me. It's helped me connect with brands that not only understand my work but actually see the value in what I create.
PitchBrand has made connecting with the right people feel natural instead of transactional, and that's a big deal. It's given me access, momentum, and a clearer path forward.
A Breakthrough Moment
One recent success really stood out. I reached out to a nationwide brand through PitchBrand, and they immediately responded saying they loved my photography style. They described it as clean, modern, and sophisticated—exactly the energy they wanted for their campaigns.
What started as a simple introduction has now opened the door to a paid opportunity, and we're currently in talks about future projects. It's the kind of response that reminds me why I put so much time into refining my visual identity and outreach.
More Than Just Deals
Beyond the paid opportunities, it's also built my confidence in how I communicate my brand. I've started to see my outreach as an extension of my creative work, not just admin. Every pitch feels like part of the bigger story I'm building for my career.
I'm seeing results, but more importantly, I'm building relationships that feel authentic and aligned with the kind of photography I want to be known for.
The biggest surprise was discovering so many newer brands that have potential for growth. Landing brands is a numbers game and it happens when you least expect it.
