#156: Are Photographers Building Businesses or Just Audiences? (with Kareem Virgo) 26.05.2026 1ч 11минThis week, we're joined by Kareem Virgo - wedding photographer, educator, and one of the most recognizable voices in the industry. With more than 300,000 followers, Kareem has built an audience that most photographers only dream about. But that led us to a bigger question: are photographers actually building businesses... or are they just building audiences? We talk about the realities of social media in 2026, whether luxury clients care about follower counts, what truly separates a luxury photographer from someone charging luxury prices, and what clients value that photographers often overlook. We also get into some deeper conversations around representation, visibility, diversity in the wedding industry, and what it means to be seen. Kareem shares his perspective on navigating the industry, feeling underestimated, and the conversations many people still aren't having.__Reem's LinksInstagram // Website // YouTube__TVT MERCH NOW AVAILABLE!https://www.thevendortable.com/store/—Check out our WEBSITE: www.thevendortable.comInstagram //TikTok // YouTube //Facebook Group // Discord—Do you want Elevate your post processing workflow?
