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 discuss which makeup is best for the camera). For example did you know that some foundations cause your face to look very pale when a flash fires. Even if you have a tan. I discuss issues like this to make sure you are looking your best.

3) Clothing. As a photographer I get asked "does my belly look fat?" and "does this top make my arms huge?". Not only can posing help with all these types of concerns but so can clothes. And I discuss ways to trick the lens and make you feel much more comfortable in front of the camera.

Jean Claude and Kate Branch at Kirribilli house

As a mother of two nothing is more important to me than our children. My husband Jean-Claude and I attended a fundraiser at Kirribilli house that raised money for five wonderful children charities. We were honoured to personally meet The Honourable Malcom Turnball, Prime Minister of Australia and his amazing wife Mrs Lucy Turnball. Jean-Claude and I were also honoured to listen to the address of the Honourable Dame Marie Bashir who also supports these charities especially Central Coast Kids in Need. Once again her Excellency Dame Marie Bashir said that children are the most precious resource we have. And that is very true. We are very thankful to attend such an amazing evening. Below are the amazing charities that funds were raised for. http://www.bearcottage.chw.edu.au/ Bear Cottage is the only children’s hospice in NSW, one of only two in Australia, and the only one in the world affiliated with a children’s hospital.

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.
