"It’s a Numbers Game" "If your Domain Authority (DA) meets the minimum threshold (20+), where Google sees you as a lower-level authority and directs 3,000 motivated visitors searching for "CBD wellness" products to your website daily from billions of keyword searches, and if your website is created with high-quality and engaging content with a seamless shopping and checkout experience, then your visitors will linger on the website much longer, increasing opportunity time to complete calls to action. And if just 3% of those 3,000 visitors make a purchase (90), and the average purchase is $200, then that translates into daily gross sales of $18,000. That is the power of investing in your website and SEO." - Greg Malcolm In today’s digital landscape, harnessing the power of the internet is key to growing your brand and connecting with your audience.

My journey behind the lens began in the late 80s, capturing the raw energy and authentic moments of the skateboarding scene. From there, I moved into photographing bands and promoting the underground scene, learning firsthand the impact of guerrilla marketing to connect with audiences who valued real, gritty experiences. Soon after, I co-founded a promotion company with a talented group of creatives, called Headroom Digital where we curated events with bands and DJs that people would remember. Around the same time, I played in the band Twine, signed with Ghostly International Records, and had the incredible experience of touring across Europe and America. These years taught me about connection—how to create visuals and experiences that resonate. Later, I shifted to a decade-long partnership in the wireless wholesale industry, sharpening my skills in commercial photography, marketing, and branding. When Maryland legalized medical marijuana, it was a chance to bring together everything I’d learned. I launched Maryland Connoisseur Studio, blending my fine art approach with years of business and branding experience to help shape a sophisticated visual identity for the cannabis industry. With this foundation, I now offer one-on-one coaching to help you unlock the potential of your photography, refine your skills, and develop a deeper understanding of cannabis photography. Led by a seasoned professional with years of experience across the cannabis and creative industries, these mentorship sessions offer personalized insights that support your unique vision. We’ll cover everything from technical mastery—lighting, composition, styling—to cannabis-specific knowledge like building a standout portfolio and navigating this niche market. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to elevate your work, you’ll leave each session with actionable strategies and a renewed sense of purpose behind the lens. Let’s work together to help you find your voice, hone your craft, and capture images that truly resonate in this evolving industry. - Greg Malcolm
