. . .Make your shot one that they will see daily

What do you do with your best image from a shoot?

If your answer is “sell them Package C,” you got the wrong outlook.

Because if you want to make money at photography today the correct answer is going to be closer to “All of the Above.”

Don’t limit yourself to 8x10s, 5x7s and wallets. There’s a whole new world of products out there and you get paid for each one of them. All you have to do to get in on the bigger range of opportunities is to broaden your thinking when talking to the mom who is excited about what you have shown her.

Canvas Wraps Make GREAT add-ons!

For instance, how about a museum mount canvas print? Or a “stand out” mount? Or have two photos prepared for the end table, imprinted on a hardwood, hinged “deskmate?”

What else? Well, about a million things including cling (moveable) Posters for kids’ shots, Calendars with a different photo on each page, Laptop Skins, Jigsaw Puzzles, Refrigerator Magnets for mom. And . . .

Photo Coasters Make a GREAT Gift

• Pillows • Coasters with Holder • Beverage Holders (koozies) • Coffee mugs 11 oz • Fleece Blankets • Key Chains • Bag Tags • Dog Tags • Banners • Mouse Pads • Dry Erase Boards • Bookmarks • Stainless Steel Travel Mugs • Water Bottles • T-Shirts • Statuettes (cut outs with stand) • Pennants • 6” Round Vinyl clings • Greeting Cards • 3″ Buttons • Post cards • Bumper Stickers • Auto License Plates • Trading cards • Sports Balls (baseball and softballs and small footballs, soccer balls, hockey pucks and basketballs)

Who says you can’t add an extra 50 percent income to many of your shoots?

However, to add impact to your portraits don't be afraid to crop the image in a horizontal format. Try shooting some images horizontally in your next session. For this image not only did I crop the image in the horizontal format, the model is placed in the in the far right of the frame. What would this shot look, like if she was placed dead center in the frame? Static - no impact. AND I cropped off the top of her head - all in ...

Building a Studio Background Tip

You don't have to have expensive sets and backgrounds in order to get a stylish, trendy look. This background was made with the siding material that you can buy from your local Home Depot.

Using Posing Stools Correctly

At first glimpse talking about posing stool height may seem silly to you. Although that couldn't be further from the truth. Correct posing stool height is very important to maintaining your subjects proper posture. The correct height for the posing stool is slightly above the knee. At that height it forces the subject to sit properly producing a slight L shade between the body torso and the upper part of legs. The subjects feet should just reached the floor. If the posing stool is too low it tends to add weight to the subject. This will not please many of your ...

Basic Posing Tips

Basically, your job as a professional photographer is to make your client look good (or better than they actually do) in their portraits. The first thing I typically do is a quick facial analysis to determine if the subject has one side that is better than the other. Many times this is very obvious, especially if they have a scar or blemish, but often times you need to make a point of doing a quick facial analysis before starting the session. Here are a few common things to look for: One eye smaller than the other - by putting the smaller eye ...
