Don’t get me wrong, I know there’s a big difference between a set of photos and a full video shoot, but at least for me, between shaving, washing, setting up cameras and lights, the setup alone can take hours upon hours - often reaching up to five before any real content is actually shot. I was wondering if that’s a longer time than normal, since I’ve been doing it this way for a good amount of time at this point, and I feel like it’s SUCH a time investment that… even if it’s something I really love doing, there is a point at which it becomes a bit of a chore.
