Catwalk 🐈⬛ Fashion shows are extraordinary events and have been on full display for spring 2024. 🌟 Telling the story of a collection in just a few minutes on the catwalk takes a lot of time and a village to produce. While the whole process is somewhat nervewracking, (and expensive) it is a thrill to see the action backstage and the parade on the runway. I haven’t done a show for a bit but did a lot over the course of a few years in LA, NY, Paris. Having the right team to handle makeup 💄 and hair, stylist, publicity, seating, goodie bags, interviews with journalists, music, lighting, photography is key. 📸 Behind the scenes is where so much of the action takes place. I actually love the behind the scenes work because that’s what I do most of the time to design and produce my work. For me, 👣 walking out onstage and facing the cameras is surreal. I’m somewhat camera shy so for me it took some practice not to feel nervous or want to speedwalk, stop for 1 second, and get out of there. Lol. If I was coming out as a model it would be different. I’ve done a little of that too, it’s like playing a role. But after the finale it’s time for me as the designer to walk out there and have a moment. Surreal or not, I was able to learn to enjoy this part. 🌟 Do the things that challenge you. Here’s to a vibrantly colorful Spring 2024 season, to all the talent onstage and behind the scenes, to the shows that are complete and to the ones ahead. #sustainablefashions #ecoconsciousliving #slowfashionbrand #saveplanetearth #ecofriendlyclothing #instafashions

Here are 5 reasons you should make the most of your shoot with video calls… I offer you as many video calls as you need before your photo shoot with my full and half days. There are a few different reasons for this: 1. Confidence coaching We work together to build the confidence you have in yourself, and in front of the camera. 2. We get to know each other Having a relationship before I get my camera out is so important to build trust. You become infinitely more comfortable and we understand one another. 3. Shoot strategy We work out exactly how your shoot is going to go having worked out poses, locations, wardrobe, accessories, branding, hair and make up and more. 4. Mood board You receive a mood board so that we have a visual to follow on the day. Going over that pre shoot is really helpful. 5. Better photos A few people recently have not taken full advantage of these calls, and it’s much harder for them to choose the final photos as we didn’t do the confidence work. So make sure that when you’re offered something within an offer, that you take them up on it! Do you think you’d use these video calls? _____________________________ Hey I’m wo0, a photographer with ADHD making images that aren’t boring 🤷🏻♀️ Ways to work with me 📸 Full/half day photoshoots 📸 PopUp Level Up (with Nic Mooney) 📸 Personal Paparazzi DM me with the word ‘ANGLES’ to find out more Love ya x

📸⚖️ "In the world of law, first impressions are crucial. A professional headshot isn't just a photo; it's a key part of your personal branding. It conveys confidence, credibility, and professionalism. As an experienced photographer, I understand the nuances that make a legal headshot stand out – from the right expression to the perfect lighting. Let me help you make that impactful first impression. Dress Professionally: Choose attire that reflects the professionalism of the legal field. A well-fitted suit or a professional blouse can convey confidence and competence. Grooming Matters: Ensure hair is neat and styled. For men, a clean shave or well-groomed facial hair is recommended. For women, makeup should be natural and enhance their features without being distracting. Posture and Confidence: Stand or sit up straight with shoulders back. Confidence is key in a headshot, and posture can greatly influence the perceived confidence in a photo. Facial Expression: A slight smile can be welcoming yet professional. The expression should be natural and not forced. Practice in the mirror to find a comfortable and confident look. Eye Contact with the Camera: Direct eye contact with the lens can create a connection with the viewer. It's important to look approachable yet assertive. Choose the Right Background: A simple, uncluttered background works best. It shouldn't distract from the subject of the photo. Good Lighting: Ensure the lighting is flattering. Soft, diffused lighting can reduce shadows and highlight your best features. Relax and Be Yourself: It’s important to be comfortable and relaxed during the shoot. A genuine headshot reflects your true professional self. Consult with Your Photographer: Discuss your requirements and expectations with your photographer. They can provide guidance on poses, expressions, and attire based on their experience. Consider the Use of the Headshot: Think about where the headshot will be used (LinkedIn, firm website, etc.) and what message you want it to convey. #LegalHeadshots #ProfessionalBranding #LawyerLife #HeadshotPhotography #ExpertPhotography #LawyersOfInstagram #NewJerseyPhotographer @alexkaplan #NYCProfessionals #NJBusiness #NewYorkNetworking #JerseyProfessionals #NYCCorporate #NJEntrepreneurs #TriStateBusiness #NYCExecutives #NewJerseyNetworking #NYCStartups #NJSmallBusiness #NewYorkCityBusiness #NewJerseyBusinessLeaders #NYCB2B #NJCorporate #NYCIndustryLeaders #NewJerseyProfessionals #TriStateAreaNetworking #NYCProfessionalServices #NJBusinessCommunity

How clients think a photo-shoot works: Take Photos > Edit Photos > Deliver Photos How it actually works: > Phone call > Booking > Brief > Contract > Shot List > Location Scouting & Booking > Equipment Prep > Makeup / Hair / Wardrobe Styling > Lighting Setup > Camera Setup > Test Shots > Posing > Full Shoot > Additional Backup > Image Review 1 & Culling > Image Review 2 & Selects > Image Review 3 & Selects > Lo-Res Export > Online Gallery Creation > Image Review 4 & Selects > Image Review 5 & Final Selects > RAW Conversion and Edit > Retouching & Colour Grade > Final Image Export & Delivery > Revision Round > Testimonial Request > “Can you make the logo bigger?” Thankfully, the client is shielded from nearly all of the stuff on the second list!

I'm no stylist, but I can tell you this: the outfits that you choose for your shoot are just as important as location, makeup, props, your photographer! 🔽 5 Tips from the stylists I work with: 🎁 1. A white shirt that's been around the block won't look any better on camera than in real life. 🎁 2. Oversized outfits only accentuate the weight you're trying to hide. Rather flaunt the good areas than focus on covering up. 🎁 3. Buy a few new outfits or pieces, or hire a stylist. The investment here will serve you way past your photoshoot. 🎁 4. Brand colours are great but you don't need to dress in them from head to toe. 🎁 5. When your wearing something you feel great in, your confidence soars, your face lights up, your back straightens, and your photos look incredible! Still unsure of how to plan your outfits? I provide a Style Guide built especially for you when we book in your shoot 😉. #personalbrandingphotographers  #brandingphotographyjohannesburg #brandinvestment #smallbusinesjohannesburg

A professional corporate headshot is crucial for making a strong first impression. It represents your brand and helps establish credibility. When creating corporate headshots, consider various elements such as hair, makeup, and attire. Choose a natural look for hair and makeup that reflects your brand image and corporate culture. Select appropriate attire that aligns with the industry, opting for solid colors and avoiding flashy looks. #Headshots #CorporateHeadshots #Photography https://lnkd.in/ehCC5qrJ
