Photoshoot promoting shopping: Not a hard task

Last week I was photographed for my local paper the Mosman Daily. It was promoting shopping locally in the area of Neutral Bay. Personally it is not a hard sell to shop and eat locally. I have always promoted the local community because it is very imporant. You can sit on blogger and twitter all day long- but you cannot have a coffe with your social media. As much as online is imporantant- we must not forget to get amoungst our local communities. Thats why Google+ is a great new tool. It supports local communities and buisnesses. I have my photography buisness advertised on Google+ and it allows me to see other small buisness around my area. Social media should enhance your engagment. Ideally your first port for a social life should be your community. And whats not to like. Shopping, eating out. Yes please.

How to pose- My workshop

I love teaching my workshop How to pose. If you are wondering what it is all about keep reading.  Having your picture taken can be daunting. All your little insecurities come out to play. We may be insecure about our stomach so we stand behind people with our arms crossed in every picture. We may be insecure about or teeth so we never open our mouth and always look a little grim. The most popular posing mistakes I have experienced when photographing clients are: Covering their mouth with their hand as they are ashamed of bad teeth Crossing their hands in front of their body as they are unhappy with their stomach Throwing their hands in front of their face and saying “no photos, please” Making a funny face like sticking their tongue out as they are anxious and react this way The only problem is that if we cover up our insecurities incorrectly, we will never have a nice picture of ourselves. It’s okay to have insecurities. We all have them. But if we tackle them

How to pose Workshop's

Kate's Workshop: How to pose I am very excited to announce that I will be teaching workshops assisting people to be more photogenic. This workshop does not talk about "studio lighting" or "photoshop" Why? Because there are plenty of photographers that can make you look great utilising controlling light and editing photo's. I am not particularly interested in Glamour photography or fashion photography. I like capturing memories. These particular type of images are usually of you sharing a moment with your husband, child, or friends. These images are the ones you frame proudly around your home, or post on facebook, - and why not look fabulous in those! My workshop has three components 1) How to pose for a photo: What are the tips and tricks to make you look slimmer, more confidant, and be able to understand posing so you can decide how you want to be perceived in images (confidant, friendly, professional ect) 2) Makeup tweaks (I do not teach make up, I d
