Dr. Austin Hill taught himself real estate photography through "YouTube University" when his friend Kim McBride needed someone to take photos. 📸
This educator-turned-photographer dove into research, learning from Nathan Cool and others about housing trends, how realtors close deals, and how images shape consumer mindsets. Now he runs YRN Photography as both the early bird who gets the worm AND the night owl who wraps up the day.
His mentors span generations—from Tiffany Domneys, Eric Clash, and Will Rodgers teaching him actual business practices, to Na'Kia Williams, Jason Hall, and Lauren DiMartino showing him the modern side through technology.
"Iron sharpens iron, and I'm privileged to learn from each of them regularly," says Dr. Hill about surrounding himself with people who push him forward.
His biggest challenge? Scalability. "When you do good work, more people want to work with you," but finding people who share the same work ethic and care for customers isn't easy. 🌟
