Subject: Reach your next-level clients + Eliminate flat light

March events to put on your calendar!


Happenings this month


Stuck? Let's change that.

Whether you're starting out or have been in the industry for many years, you've probably felt a plateau or two. This is when you seem to hit a limit to what you can earn, what clients you work with, or a lull in the momentum of your business. Plateaus are common as you grow your business, but how do you get past it so that you can find those next-level clients?


This is what we'll be talking about with Julie Skarwecki for our March webinar. Julie is a photography consultant with an extensive background working with photographers to get them to where they dream of - with their clients, with their projects, with their business.


She'll lead a webinar chat as we learn about how to adjust our own marketing and messaging so that our target clients are drawn in. This may just be a conversation that helps change the rest of your year!


Join us at 12 noon pacific on March 15th to watch live and ask questions!

Combat flat lighting - 3 ways!

In a perfect world, each space we photograph and each composition we create would have beautiful natural light that pours in at the right strength and direction. In reality, that's often far from reality!


For times when you have flat light and need to add some definition and interest, there are a few ways to tackle it:

control the available light

move the camera

add in artificial light


In our latest Field Note, contributor Sarah Linden shares how she does each of those approaches! You'll see a space be transformed by each method, and get links to the gear that she recommends.
