The Wedding School - Storytelling for Social Media Success
Creating your brand’s compelling social media narrative can be overwhelming, but an overarching story is needed to increase social media engagement. Not only do your fans and potential customers want to know about you, your products, and your company’s background, but social media platforms and their algorithms reward pages and accounts that create useful and engaging content that add value to online communities.

The Wedding School - Social Media Marketing

Updated for 2022, in this video Susan Stripling explains her no-nonsense, business-focused approach to social media marketing. She encourages wedding photographers to concentrate on generating business—not followers, likes or personal validation.

“I would rather have 500 followers and two likes per image, but have my social bringing me in work, than have hundreds of thousands of people following me and no one paying for my services,” Susan says.

SLR Lounge - Lighting 4
https://www.slrloungeworkshops.com/natural-light-flash
 
This is the fourth course in the Location Lighting Mastery Series. At this point, if you’ve completed the series you’ve mastered the fundamentals of light from Lighting 101, learned the power of a single flash in Lighting 201, created dramatic and dynamic imagery using multi-point light setups in Lighting 3, now in Lighting 4, we’re going to move to what we think is the most advanced and refined step of your lighting toolkit, that is learning to create any form of natural light effect using highly portable flashes and modifiers.    You’ll walk away from this course with patterns and recipes for re-creating authentic and refined natural light using flash, which removes any limitation mother nature might present to you. As a photographer, this means no matter the scene, situation, or time of day, you are always in control!

Photo-Cascadia - Photographing Through the Seasons
https://www.photocascadia.com/store/photographing-through-the-seasons/
Photographing Through the Seasons reverses the usual approach of a location guide. Rather than beginning with a destination, we begin with a season and recommend areas in the western United States that are likely to be highly photogenic at that time of year. Even for people who have a lot of freedom to travel, circumstances may dictate when that travel can happen. This guide answers the question of where to go to make the most of whatever time you have available for photographing nature.

The Wedding School - Engagement Sessions Overcast Days Nighttime
It’s no secret that I love bright light.  My clients are drawn to the lighting in my images, and when we schedule an engagement session…well, they want that light in their portraits.  What do you do when you find yourself facing a day where there IS no light?  Perhaps the clouds have rolled in, perhaps the weather looks bad but there are no days available to reschedule to, perhaps you’ve just got to get it done.

The Portrait System - Vanity Fair Style
Sue’s greatest inspiration for a contemporary portrait is Vanity Fair magazine. As she learned to market her business better over the years she used to say “I am a contemporary portrait photographer, with a fashion magazine style.” Everything about what she wanted to communicate and project was in this sentence. In the last 10 years, Vanity Fair has stepped forward with some of the best celebrity style portraits we have ever seen. This is why Sue has created the Vanity Fair Style genre. It’s stunning, high fashion portraiture.

The Portrait System - Urban Glamour
The Portrait System - Urban Glamour
For those of you who shoot on-location instead of in a studio, Sue wanted to show you that you really don’t need a lot to make an on-location shoot work beautifully. For this photo shoot of Caitie, Sue walked around a neighborhood and found different spots that worked really well. They were nothing fancy at all — a cement wall, in the middle of the street, a big flower bush, and some ivy. All you need for a shoot like this is some sort of scrim, if it is sunny, and a reflector. If there isn’t any wind, you can have someone use a piece of cardboard as a fan for movement in the hair.
