Seva Mozhaev of Sev's Pics and The Sevo Show on TikTok, is a photographer, videographer and social media guy based in Perth, Western Australia but coming to you from Italy!
It was long-time listener and PBX member Jakub Redziniak who connected Sev and me with this message…
Hi Andrew!
I'm reaching out because I wanted to make an introduction to a fellow photographer that has been crushing it on TikTok, and I thought he might make a great guest everyone can learn from.
He's booked up two years of weddings until 2024, with 70% of his bookings coming from TikTok.
I hope this works out, as I can't wait to hear what he has to share!
I jumped over to TikTok, and Sev immediately drew me into his videos. I loved his self-deprecating personality, his candid approach, the raw honesty and fun of it all! No wonder he's a total hit and has over 1.2 million followers!
In this interview, learn how to attract photography clients with TikTok videos.
Here's some more of what we covered in the interview:

iTunes Reviews and Shout-outs
Each week I check for any new iTunes or Google reviews, and it's always a buzz to receive these… for several reasons.
Firstly, it's confirmation that I'm on the right track with the interviews and that they really are helping you improve your photography business. That's awesome!
Secondly, iTunes and Google are the biggest search engine when it comes to podcasts, and it's your reviews and ratings that help other photographers find PhotoBizX. More listeners mean more interviews and, ultimately a better show.
The one thing that I want people to avoid doing is going straight to ads without building an organic channel. – Seva Mozhaev
If you have left a review in the past, thank you! If you haven't and you'd like to, head to https://photobizx.com/itunes or https://photobizx.com/google, and you can leave some honest feedback and a rating which will help both me and the show, and I'll be sure to thank you on the show and add a link to your website or blog if you let me know the URL of your website and your name.
Alternatively, if you've left a review for PhotoBizX and are looking for more backlinks to help your SEO, leave a review for the new Photography Xperiment Podcast and email me your keywords or keyword phrase and where you'd like me to link to.
Another great way to get a backlink to your site is to send a video testimonial. It doesn't need to be fancy, and your phone will be perfect. Click record and tell me how PhotoBizX has impacted you and your photography business.
Here's the latest review…
★★★★★ Pure Gold
Via Apple Podcast from Liverpool family photographer, Sarah Wilson in the UK on October 4, 2022
PhotobizX is transformational; the information on there is just pure gold.
I've been listening everyday and just did my first WANTED ad and got 65 submissions in 5 hours!
I've been in business for 20 years, and to be honest, the last 5 have been a struggle — my fire was going out, not sure what to do, but not now!
I'm full of energy and excitement to make the changes and make it work. So I just wanted to let you know what a difference what you're doing makes (even all the way over here in England) Thank you again. ?

Thanks again for listening, and thanks to Seva for sharing his thoughts, ideas, experience and tips on growing a huge following on TikTok and using the platform to fill his wedding photography calendar totally.
Make sure what you're doing is something that you truly, truly love and you're not just doing it for the money. If you truly love something, go for it. Go for it with intent. Your integrity is everything. The money will come eventually. – Seva Mozhaev
