Building a Client x Photographer Relationship

Ali Mousavi is a Dutch photographer originally from Persia. He started out as a music/concert photographer. The pandemic has affected all creative jobs and that made him shift to collaborating which allowed him to create a team and start making money out of his art. Ali participated in the BLM movement in Dam square-Netherlands wanting to be part of history and not just another spectator. That was when he took the pictures submitted on Scopio under his name. Pre-Covid Ali used to tour with DJs as a personal photographer spending 6 months travelling around the world and appreciating what photography brought along. However, he grew to despise it later as it kept him away and made him realize that he cannot grow as much as he wants doing just that. From a little initiative taken by him, he ventured into something he would not expect and thereon began his journey in collaboration. Instead of simply taking x amount of photos, to edit them and leave, today, Ali wants to go beyond that and help a business grow on the long term to establish a relationship with the client by contributing to the company and its strategy.
