Build Your Portrait Photography Business: Portraits of Appreciation – Forum Subscribers Only

Portraits of Appreciation Program
I thought I would share a little studio marketing program that we have been using for the last 7 – 8 years that has literally generated over $100,000 dollars for us. As a studio we don’t do a lot of advertising in magazines and newspapers etc.. but do a lot of networking , joint ventures, and referral marketing.
This is a program that we take directly to the top businesses in our area and have them purchase gift portraits for their employees at Christmastime. One of the keys is that you have to get to them before they decide to buy everyone a Christmas ham or make any type of commitment to purchase something else. Therefore we will usually start marketing this in September.
If you use this promotion I promise it will make you more money the first year than 25+ annual memberships to StudioStyles.
All of the details and marketing material has been posted to the members section.

Understanding Lighting Ratios
March 15, 2009 by Mike Luter
Filed under Videos
In this video presentation, we will take all of the confusion out of understanding lighting ratios.
If you understand these ratios, it is much easier to control your lighting to create mood, add a sense of depth or shape, and control the way textured surfaces look.
Don’t be intimidated by the word “ratio”. Yes, it does imply math but your mentor, Mike Luter, explains it simply and clearly so your portraits will gain a professional dimension.
