How Can I Consistently Shoot in a Specific Kind of Light?

In this week's photography podcast, we talk about something I freaking love: Taking photographs in your favorite kind of light. Don't have a favorite light? We are chatting about ways to market your work so you can shoot in all kinds of light, too!
Here's what we'll discuss!

• Talk About Light in Your Photography Marketing
• Show a Specific Light in Your Photographs
• Have a Blog Post or PDF Ready to Send
• Make it a Part of Your Work!
• How This Works for One Kind of Light or ALL The Light!

Wanna know this quote in one episode? I got you!
"Traditionally, we are taught to embrace things like golden hour, cloudy days, and soft sunlight. And those things are great! Some of the most gut-punchingly beautiful images I’ve seen have been taken in this light. They are popular for a reason and the light is freaking stunning. I love photographs taken in golden hour!
The secret though? It’s that you can shoot literally anytime of day you want. And for your client work? It’s totally in your control. Personally, I love shooting in all the light and show all the light in my portfolios. Full sun? Sounds great. Golden hour? You know I love it. 6pm on a winter night? I’ll grab my flash.
There’s a reason I can do this though and it’s not 100% because I know I can do it. It’s also because I show it!"
Want to work on light this week? Wonderful!

Grab twenty of your favorite photographs and see if there's a common denominator with the light. Ask yourself:

• What do you like? What stands out? What kind of light makes you feel refreshed?
• And Remember! There's no one right answer to anything!

You've got this!! Talk to you next week!
