Want To Know This Episode in One Quote? Wonderful!

"When learning product photography, it’s best to start really simple. Use even light, simple backdrops, and don’t use filters that change product colors. Upping the exposure on a photo is fine; moving the tint feature to green might make your customers unhappy. Once you know more, you can do more. But when you start? Keep those photos simple!"

Want To Know This Episode in One Quote? You Know I Got You!

"In 2023, I got totally obsessed with mockup photography. I was obsessed with flatlay mockups, folded mockups, hanging mockups, and model mockups. Basically, I became obsessed with all of it and I like to laugh and say I locked myself away in 2023 and basically just saw my family + my mockup daughter and taught myself to shoot all the products. While I don’t really recommend mockup photography for casual photographers, I do recommend selling mockup photography to two types of photographers: New photographers or photographers that are totally tenacious + up for learning.

Not sure what a mockup is? They’re pretty new to me, too! And today? I’m spilling all about them. "

More specifically, we're talking about this: What's a hiking elopement? And why is Andrew an ordained to marry people?
