Productivity is the best asset to have on your site during a busy day at your photography studio. Increase your efficiency and free up time with new tools. Several people had referred this software to me, so I finally headed over to their site and watched the demo. Wow. I was sold. So we picked up the software last night, and I can see this is going to have a huge impact on the way that I write, and how much I get done. If you write a lot, check this out.

Filed Under Get Inspired Photography | Leave a Comment
Photograph with a new angle. Take your digital camera out, put on your favorite telephoto or zoom lens and hit the streets. You only need to remember one thing for the inspiration, no straight shots. Each image need to be photographed with a tilt to it. As you look through the viewfinder, you will start to see a great amount of unique viewpoints. Photograph a person in a portrait format, but make sure that you have a tilt to the image. Put the subjects head into one of the corners and see what the angle does to it. - Get Inspired Today!

A picture is worth a thousand words, or so the saying goes.
As a photographer, I’ve used that quote thousands of times.
When you glance at a picture of a newborn infant, it can make a young mom cry, remembering that exact moment she first saw her child.
Or when you see an image of a happy couple celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary, the memories are etched on their content faces.
That’s really the power of a photograph. It can transport you back to a particular moment in time instantly, remembering exactly how you were feeling at that moment. Read more>>

What is your average sale when a client comes into buy?
Are you still handing over the digital files (or worse, negatives) when a client comes in for a photo session?
As a photographer, you make your money from your finished product. If you’re providing your client with the raw files, and not a finished product, you are actually doing your client a disservice. Your job as a professional photographer isn’t just taking the picture and letting your client have the image. It’s also about seeing what others don’t see. A professional photographer has the ability to see things in unique ways, and give their client above and beyond what they could get anywhere else.
Become a Picasso
One of my favorite stories is about Pablo Picasso. Picasso was sitting in a restaurant having lunch with a friend when a woman came over and asked Picasso to create something for her on her napkin, and she would happily pay him for what it was worth. After a few minutes, he gave her back her napkin, and a bill for several thousand dollars. After the initial shock, she questioned why he could charge so much for a few minutes of work. Picasso responded the price wasn’t based on the few minutes it took him to create her artwork; it was based on the years of studying, education, training, and mastering his talents. She happily paid the price.
As a photographer, your prices should reflect your talents, not the final output. Anyone can snap a photo and print it out on their home computer. Where the real talent comes from is within the photographer herself.
And by the way you present what you do to your customers.
It’s easy to increase your sales potential on every client. Start with thee 7 ways to put more pizzazz into the way you market your photography.
1. Create better packages.
People like deals. And they like to get what everyone else is getting. Packages actually make the buying/selling process a whole lot easier. Your customer can bypass the ala carte section, and trying to decide exactly what they need. Instead, they’ll simply buy what looks like a good deal. And if it’s your best seller, why not choose what everyone else is buying?

Photograph the Wind - How to Get Inspired with your Photography #11
Filed Under Get Inspired Photography | Leave a Comment
Photograph the Wind - This may sound a little crazy but it will allow you to express yourself and inspire the photography greatness within you. Next minor or major wind storm, grab your digital camera and a load of memory cards and head out for a day of expression. How does the wind affect objects? A flag, the wheat in a field, dirt on a road or a head of hair all change when the wind kicks up. The flag starts to show it’s colors and style, the wheat field shows how wind channels energy into a vast object, the dirt on a road becomes dust in the wind and the latest and greatest hair style, will not be so great any more. Use slower shutter speeds to capture the movement.- Get Inspired Today!
