[…] shouldn’t have to keep saying this but posting bad or blurry photos downgrades your feed (and it’s exactly why I’m teaching a workshop on it). I know VERY few bloggers that post images to their account straight from their phone. Seriously, […]
Hey peeps! If you’re in or near Memphis, I will be teaching my next blogging workshop, A Creative Social: Photography Workshop on January 29, 2017!
With the new year literally days away, I know that people will be looking to up the ante with their blogs (and particularly their visuals) so I wanted to kick things off with a new workshop focused on photography specifically for bloggers, creatives + small brands. 2016 allowed me work with a ton of brands (including Macy’s, Verizon, Redbook Mag, Whole Foods) thank to my blog + IG, and I have a few freelance photography clients I work with regularly, so I wanted to share what I’ve learned over the years. Why? Based on feedback + my own observance, bloggers tend to approach their visuals from a different perspective, so I wanted to teach tips + tricks to help those that want to take better images for their site or products, but aren’t sure how.
If content is king, photography is queen. You must, must, must have great photos to support your written content and engage your audience, but that doesn’t mean you have to go broke doing so! Whether you’re a blogger, creative or small brand, knowing how to tell your story with creative, visual content that’s tailor-made for you will help to quickly gain your audience’s trust and engagement so that you can monetize your brand and/or sell your products.
During A Creative Social we will cover:
- How to Determine Your Brand Aesthetic (your vibe attracts your tribe)
- The Top Photo Styles to Produce (it’s about more than a #selfie)
- How to Keep Your Social Media Feed Cohesive but Diverse (lifestyle is where it’s at)
- Photography Hacks for Props + Backdrops, Lighting + Editing (brand your style)
This is an interactive workshop (workbook included), so bring your phone/camera and a few small props with you. Make sure you also have space on your phone so that you can download a few of the Editing Apps that we’ll discuss.
Tickets are $45. The workshop will be from 1pm-3pm at The Lab by Memphis Fashion Design Network (64 Flicker Street Memphis, TN 38104). Only 20 spots will be available, as this will be a very hands-on workshop, allowing for Q&A with attendees. Light refreshments will be served.
