MENTORSHIP – LIFETIME

Hey everyone, here is the scoop on the lifetime mentorship class:

If you are going to join in, you must let me know and I will send you all the login info so you can jump in immediately although scheduled meetings will not be resuming until January. See form on the right >>>>

There is no recurring fee. You are in and you are welcome for a lifetime. For those of you who wanted to put it off until June, you will still get the lifetime offer so no worries.

We will kick your butt, get you motivated, keep you motivated, and focused on building your business the best and most professional way.

Go to the form on the right, send me an email stating that you are going to be in the group, and I will send you credentials ASAP. Then you can get into it, see what is going on there, and get ready for one hell of a ride in 2021. You are welcome to any of the 4 meetings we have scheduled for next week. 

I want in to the mentorship class

WATCH: I MAKE A SHOT IN THE STUDIO TWELVE YEARS AGO

Small studio shooting, what we used to call ‘tabletop’ is a favorite of mine. This is a very simple shoot with only one studio light on a boom. The subject is a decanter from the kitchen and some “ice chips” that we use for drink shots for a ‘crushed ice’ look. These...

THE LIST:

This checklist is a good thing for you print out, laminate and keep with you when shooting. It is a deliberately detailed list of what we should be thinking about before we trip the shutter.

The Best List is the One You Use.

2020-2: ASSIGNMENT TWO: HERO SHOT FOR A MAGAZINE COVER

Your assignment is a local entrepreneur. What are you going to say about them with the photograph? What message is being conveyed by the article that will accompany the images you make? How can you convey something more than what the subject looks like in your...

CURRENT ASSIGNMENT >

Assignments are posted on Saturday mornings, usually by Noon, Pacific. You have two weeks to create the image and submit it on the upload form. PLEASE CHECK the date of the assignment so you will know if you have enough time to do the current assignment, or go to the next assignment listed below that makes more sense for your time frame.

I look forward to seeing what you do with these real-world assignments.


Tips:

  • Allow enough time to do the assignment correctly.
  • If you are having some creative challenges, ask for help on the FB community.
  • Search Google for examples of what you are trying to do.
  • Sketch with pen and paper, or camera to find your image.
  • Gather all of your props and styling tools before you begin the shoot.
  • If possible, make sure you can leave your set up until after you have received some feedback from the Facebook group, or you know you got the shot.
  • Sketch/photograph and measure your set – you must remember to do a behind the scenes shot (BTS) so you can upload it with your image. BTS shots are a big part of the success we have at P52.
