Photography for your beauty biz: the good news is - you don’t need big fancy equipment! The best camera to use is the camera you already have. Nowadays all smart phones have cameras and within those same phones we are able to download apps to crop and edit photos and videos to make a good piece of content look great! The intent behind Taking photos and videos of your work can be anything from amassing a portfolio of the amazing hair you do (you did the work! Why not document it?) to inspiring others and growing a social media following. If the advice and best practices of mentors and influencers is causing doubts in how or if you even should take photos and videos of your work - then throw it all away! I’ll agree! indirect outdoor light is incredible for taking photos. The space I work in does not have indirect outdoor light to offer! The salon is an old movie theatre - if I let the fact that no outdoor light is available to take photos keep me from documenting my work then I would t have years of growth and development to reflect back on. I wouldn’t have examples of my work to show prospective guests and employers. So IN comes the the ring light - another great and viable option for lighting your work - bottom line is, take the photos and videos. From there you’ll narrow in on your esthetic and brand. DO: 📸 Take photos and videos with the camera you have in your hands. 📸 Use the lighting you have, move around the salon and experiment with backgrounds, trust me, you’ll find a spot that works perfectly for you. If all else fails - invest in a ring light. Pop into my DMs and I’ll send you a link to the one I use. 📸 Keep backdrops free of distractions AVOID: 📸 Imposter Syndrome: your work is gorgeous!
