It Takes a Village

Posted on April 28, 2012 - 9:39pm

As the saying goes, "It takes a village" to make things happen. This weekend Jasmine Star has come back to creativeLIVE for her third workshop, with a focus on how to shoot weddings in an editorial style to get published in wedding blogs and magazines. Today Jasmine did a photoshoot including a bride, groom, and wedding party. A gorgeous table setting, with place cards, flowers and many other details. Jasmine walked through her process of shooting the details, the wedding party and of course, the bride and groom.

Exposing Yourself Isn't Always A Bad Thing

Exposing yourself isn't always a bad thing: A press release can be your friend
Guest Blog Post by Brook Rieman

To put it mildly, when I was selected to be in the studio audience for Bambi Cantrell's Posing Masterclass on creativeLIVE, I was ecstatic. I knew that I would gain many new skills as a photographer, learning directly from an amazing posing and lighting instructor like Bambi. She has been an inspiration to me for quite some time. My photography was most certainly going to improve as a result of attending this course. Beyond that, I knew that it would be great for networking, as it gave me the opportunity to meet lots of other photographers both in the studio and through social media outside of the course. But that got me thinking. Were there any other ways I could capitalize on this experience to benefit my business?
