Episode #1. Welcome to Clued Up with Maria B: The BTS Photography Podcast. In this episode I introduce you to the 5 Pillars to building Quality Portrait Photoshoots that will influence what goes on BTS before you ever hit the shutter and will not only change but elevate your photography.
If you’re like most photographers you’ve spent a lot of money and a lot time trying to improve your photography. We all have. Most well-known photographers will tell you what you’re about to learn here, only it’s not going to take you as long to learn it: The secret to great photos lies in preparation. It’s everything that goes on behind the scenes that elevates the best photographers and will elevate your photography:
In this episode I define the 5 Pillars to a Quality Photoshoot:
- CORT-Consistency, Organization, Redundancy, and Time
- Mapping Your Photoshoot and Workflow
- Skill: Technical Skills and People Skills
- Business
- Growth
We begin by talking about a subtopic of one of the Pillars. That Pillar is Skill and the subtopic is People Skills, specifically communication. We talk about the importance and the reasons for good communication with clients, collaborators, and businesses, and the pitfalls of poor communication.
We also talk about your role as photographer and as a director and the critical importance of gaining and remaining in control of your set be it a studio or on location. We also chat about professionalism and maintaining connections.
