I don’t know if this is a feminist rant, or a whinge about modern culture. Either way, let me have a quick word with you woman. Yes, you. The one who automatically assumes the selfie pose when anyone wants to take your photo. Don’t hide from me now!

There are two good reasons why you should consider photo sequences as part of your visual marketing strategy. One, it is a powerful way to tell your story. Come on, if a picture tells a thousand words, think of what you tell with a handful of them? Also, having 5 images to post on the ‘gram instead of one is a big ‘ole time saver!
How many pics do you post each week for your business?
There’s the Instagram feed….

There hasn't been a lot of romance in my life lately.

So in this mini email series 'getting ready for your photoshoot' we've covered off the two questions,what kind of photos do you really need and what to wear to your photoshoot. Today, I'm sending some make-up love. I asked one of my go-to make-up artists, Ashlee of Ashelee Anderson Make-up to share five of her 'top tips' for prepping for a photo shoot.
What to wear to the photoshoot is one of the questions that I get asked the most. It seems to cause the most frustration and uncertainty in my clients.
I get it though. We are already nervous about what we are going to look like in our photos. We rely on the hope that a good wardrobe selection will make us look better. Yes, I could go on about that, and the issues of underlying confidence that it all boils down to. But that's not going to help you right now. And, there are some tips that I can give you about what to wear for your photoshoot that will give you help.
Like every other profesh service, photographers specialise. There’s the well-known genre’s like weddings, newborn, portrait or pet photography. Commercial and brand photography is a category all in itself. Did you know that even within that genre there are different types of photography? And, not all photographers can do them all? Let’s dive in and have a look at these types. That way you can better target your search when you are next in the market for hot AF photos for your biz.
I had grand plans of writing up a cool summary of my time at the Nine to ThriveBusiness Chicks conference last week. My idea was to share super important quotes from the speakers and inspire you with their heart-felt lessons.
But you know what? I've got nothing.
Being a photographer is not all about the photo shoot itself, there's loads of planning beforehand. Working out light and props and location. But also, there's hours of work afterwards, processing and retouching your images. I do each one myself, and sometimes this can be a painstaking process. So, I thought I would try something a little different for my email this week, and give you a bit of a peek into some of my typical post processing.
One of the questions I get asked the most with potential clients is..
"Will you photoshop me 10kg lighter?", or it's close cousin;
"Will you photoshop my wrinkles away"....
