The Crisis
U.S. government data: 92% startups fail in 5 years.
My reality check: $3,247 left, standing at Powell Station.
Phone alert: 10th “Flight Attendant Uniform” sale confirmed.
The Problem
Lisa paid $279 for:
- 3-week wait
- Stiff poses
- 1990s office looks
Photographer’s rule: “Clock starts when you walk in.”
Truth: Traditional photography = $240/hour time theft
The Breakthrough
Reddit’s viral AI graduation photo → 3 AM decision:
“Let’s turn iPhones into Wall Street studios.”
The Attack Plan
$20K budget targets 3 pain points:
- Time : 4hr shoots → 4min uploads
- Cost : 250→250→9.99 (cheaper than Starbucks)
- Style : 1 look → 500+ combos
Managing AI “Employees”
Q: How to lead AI teams?
A: Give human-level clarity:
- “Improve eye realism by 40% before Q4”
- “Shadow angle violates brand guidelines – revise”
- “Explain rendering delay + propose 3 fixes by Friday”
Growth Hacks
- Turned 1-star reviews into Reddit ads
- Tracked rage clicks → 28% sales boost
- Proved controversy sells better than puppies
Investor Wars
After 9 “NO”s:
- Built public “Wall of Shame” with VC insults
- Created “Aragon Bankruptcy” meme (200K shares)
- Handwrote 327 thank-you notes
Enterprise client’s $50K wire proved persistence > pedigrees
Data Wins
- Tested 89 blue shades (navy converts 43% better)
- 29/month>29/month>299/year (17% retention lift)
- “Uniform Packs” from user requests → 23K sales/month
By the Numbers
- Cost: 250→250→9.99
- Daily output: 10 → 4,700 orders
- Enterprises buy 6.3X/year
2024 results: 4.5Mrevenue(4.5Mrevenue(900K/month)
The Future
Smart photographers now:
- Charge $500/hour as Creative Directors
- Update brands in real-time (not quarterly)
- Build “Digital Identity Vaults”
Final Rule
“AI won’t kill photographers – it’ll expose those using cameras as security blankets.”
