How do you package and present your work to clients? Does your packaging look professional? Does it represent you and the quality of your work?
The perfect keepsake for weddings, graduations and much more. The Perry album features heavy-weight repositionable adhesive pages that won’t wrinkle; simply place your image on the adhesive and apply pressure to the photograph to adhere to the page.
Too many wedding photographers make the mistake of thinking that the digital era has fully replaced traditional prints. At least for now, that’s not the case. There’s still a thriving market for wedding albums and other printed products.
A question I get all the time from photographers and videographers is, “How do we break into the luxury market?” That’s a fair question… but first let’s talk about why you would want to be a luxury wedding photographer.

As photographers, one of the things we gravitate to is light. Makes sense right? Light is the foundation of an image. How you use light is what starts to help you develop your identity as a photographer.

Working from home has become the new normal for many of us in 2020. I’ve always loved the challenge of setting up a studio in a small space. Small spaces do not mean that your work or abilities will suffer.
