How to Add Films to your Portrait Sessions (Sponsored by Miller's)
Video is HOT right now! And if you're a photographer who has been frustrated with learning it, or if you've been too daunted by the idea to even try it, this program is designed just for you! Garon approaches the subject from a photographer's mindset to get you into 'filmmaker mode'. You'll learn how to 'think in video', get shot ideas, discover what to do and what not to do during the process, get familiar with some video gear, learn the basics of editing, and pick up loads of tips and ideas. The entire goal is to leave you with actionable steps to get started creating great video promotional content and exciting new offerings for your clients.
Garon’s program is geared toward senior photography as that's the genre he photographs most. But he will also talk about how everything he demonstrates translates to other genres and will give examples of that work as well.
