How to Get Started in Volume Photography
Volume photography can be scary for some photographers, but it doesn’t have to be! In fact, adding volume into your business can immediately drop to your bottom line: if you are prepared! Join us for this informative evening to learn what’s involved to get into volume photography (hint: its not as hard as you think!).
Using partners like GotPhoto & PhotoDay, John will walk through how to get started in the different types of volume photography with Schools, Sports & Events (including volume headshots).
John will cover the complete workflow: start to finish. Talking about the systems (i.e. software, websites, etc), lighting set-ups (with a demonstration), post processing, and finally the sales/ delivery of products to clients. Bring your camera if you would like to get some sample images from our session.
- Lighting Set-up for success
- Posing for composites / ‘green screen’
- Editing
- Back-office - website integration
- Sales / Delivery
Sounds like a lot of ground to cover? It is, but as you will see; the key to volume is organization & efficiency. Which, when put in practice, can easily be repeated across the spectrum of volume types.
