I like what you said about prioritizing business organization and relationship building. What have been some key lessons you've learned while running your photography business?
Another vote for Printique. But if i'm just ordering random prints from photos on my phone, I use Google Photos since all my phone photos backs up to that app.
This is a great question. Lately I've been looking at old photos from the 80's and 90's, mostly the ones that photographed hiphop artist. I'm really being inspired by them these days. The list so far is Jenette Beckman, Danny Hastings and Chi Modu.
On a more modern note. I'm always excited to see what Joshua Kissi, Raven Varona, Dana Scruggs and the team at AB+DM will do next.
It depends, but for events I use Photo Mechanic and edit in Lightroom. For portraits I use Capture One. As far posting with/without metadata, I made different export presets for that.
Does anyone do special vlogs for dates with special numbers like this? I'm thinking of doing Day in the Life/5 seconds type of vlog, where I just show snippets of my day. Anyone else doing something?
It's not perfect (and some of its out of focus), but I recorded, edited and most importantly published my first vlog/YouTube short. I decided to do a series called Tiny Stories, where I give experiences from my life from my perspective. First up, how I make pancakes for my boys every Sunday.
I normally have my "Fairy Godmother" kit. It has a lint brush, safety pins, ponytail holders, baby wipes, tissues, fashion tape, snacks and a couple other things.
I want to do more sessions that get me excited. I love photographing families, especially generational sessions. I want to do more of those and figure out a way to do portrait, lifestyle and commercial photography with family being my niche.
A fanny pack. I used to lose lens caps like crazy, but I started wearing a runners fanny pack while I'm doing a session and I haven't lost one in a while.
