Shooting Experience: Shooting for your Brand

I'm going to introduce my very good friend and talented businesswoman and artist, jen blake jen is a commercial and wedding stylist based here in seattle and she's going to talk a little bit about what it is teo work and collaborate on a sample shoot like this thank you, jazz. Thank you. Creative life for having me. I'm so excited to be here. Yeah, jasmine asked me to talk tio what it means to work with the stylist and designer and those name those terms are kind of interchangeable, especially within the wedding industry, but it typically means the same thing. Anyone that you're going to collaborate with its going to kind of create the vision from the shoot or actually source and find the items. And so one of the things that I think is most important valuable is really going into the shoot with knowing what your goals are, right? The goals are views the photographer means stylist, especially the client and uh what the what you're what the goal is for the end results. So are you wanting...

to get published? And if that's the case, are you wanting to push the envelope with the vision of the shoot? Is it just a portfolio piece and you're trying to seek out a certain clients, then in that case you definitely want to create images that are reflective kind of like we're talking about here today, it restart images that a reflective of the client that you're trying to reach if the goal is to make the client happy, which is awesome, too. You definitely wanna know if there's a budget or what's going on if they have a certain aesthetic or style that they're going for and definitely make sure that's reflective in the shoot itself. Another thing that I think is really important and valuable working with all other wedding creatives, but especially styluses to communicate, I don't you can over communicate all I think, the more you can talk and kind of figure out what the d top tales are of shoot the better. In the past, when I've worked with other photographers and designers and stylists and floral designers on style shoot such as this, people walk away and they might be disappointed or frustrated, those things always come with her. Expectations aren't met, and those explorations he met by initially having really good communication about what everybody wants from the shoot. Wei have a lot of we have, like pages and pages of e mail conversation, so yeah, yeah, I think on dh, then doesn't want me to share a few tips about working with stylists and designers I think something that's really important is tio advocate. First I listened designers and educated clients about what it means to work with one oftentimes I get e mails and clients don't really even understand what's a stylist or what we do on dh really by advocating you can really tell the client the importance of having us there and what we actually do I think a lot of people are confused by why should I hire a stylist or designer can my photographer just tell me what I need on dh you telling them the benefit of us being there is making the best images possible I always consider myself kind of the insurance if the plan's gonna invest in a wedding day like the stylist is kind of ensuring that everything looks right another tip for working with stylists and designers is don't be afraid to reach out and share your ideas if you have an idea get online email a stylist or designer that you admire and share your ideas I think oftentimes photographers are worried I don't know I don't know that that's my role but you're a really great idea share it's right um and another tip as you're getting that tip describe general as they get into the shoot if I'm working with the stylist if the kinds of hired a stylist as I'm going to the shoot general make adjustments according to how she wants to see things so we've had a team collaborate with us we have a rental team we also have a few things that jen has brought from her own personal collection so as we're moving through the shoot, so I'm going to use you three photographers as examples and so she's going to be jumping in and now and I want you guys to learn what it is to work with the second party if that then is your aspiration to have a style shoot such as this. So jen, do we have in the last one? Okay, I think that that was okay. This was really important, I think oftentimes photographers don't realize how important it is to bring thousand designers on at the very beginning of the vision stylised often know in their market that for certain ways to get discounts, and they can be a really great way of saving time and saving money by starting with them initially versus bringing them on later when the visions already kind of been important to play perfect. Awesome. So thank you to jen for beer meeting you'll be seeing her and if she's telling you what to do, that's like the most valuable lesson because a lot of times we especially first start, we're not able our clients aren't necessarily working with stylists, so if she's teaching you how to style on the shoot these air little things I want you to remember for future things when you're working on your own great q welcome so we're going to do now is we are going teo introduce keaton in matty's kitchen man if you can come up here with me they are adorable couple you guys are already familiar thank you nicki forgiving this's good eso the audience is already familiar with y'all because we saw your videos everybody thinks you guys are amazing for spending so much time with us we appreciate it this is going to be super low key we expected nothing from you guys we know that you are a professional models you haven't done this before necessary a professional model I'm sorry eh? So what we're gonna do is we're going to make this really clean and straight forward I will shoot for ten minutes then we're gonna bring on other photographers and the goal is just to walk them through the process now they have a key set of words that there that I need them to shoot for so some of their branding words air say fun a romantic so they might have you do things and so I might stop it tio kind of coach them along but we're just going to start so the theme of this shoot is a cozy night in and they just absolutely so amazing and like this is definitely I wish they'd just like this for a night in on friday night so what we're gonna do is we're gonna start if I had this sex? I'm going, tio not necessarily put them in the place I love the most, so I have another five minutes coming up in the later part of the shoot, so I want to get him warmed up. So this first ten minutes of the shoot, I'm just gonna play. I'm going to have fun, and I'm not gonna put any pressure on myself when I come back to the shoot is when all kind of hopefully get into business. So I have a lot of props here, and so when clients are new to a shoot is going to be difficult just to be like, okay, now, when you guys act romantic, remember, give them actions, that's gonna be the goal, so I have to look where my life is. This is a really good set because I could have brought in artificial light, but if this was a client's home, this could be very realistic ofwhat windows look like beautiful one delight, but it's overcast in seattle right now, there's a lot of gray tones, but I'm going to see and shoot the best way I can. What I'm going to do is I'm going to slightly rearrange the chairs now what I know that I'm doing is I'm going to have to modify where these I lay on the table in relation, and once I modify, jen might come over and do a little bit more judging, but that's going to be totally your prerogative sochi tonight, maddie, I'm going to bring these chairs in and let's just right let's just try to see how this works. So, keaton, I want you on this side and maddy, I'm gonna have you put your bum on that side because when I'm trying to do is trying to get this window light. If I put mehdi here, she falls into a shadow that we're going to talk about a cozy night in let's make this extra cozy, but I'm doing the strategically for good light so mad he's already since we've seen those video she's already a naturally touchy feely kind of girl, right, we've noticed we've noticed. Okay, this's great! So what I want you to do is I'm going to give actions so jen might kill me, but I can't have the set looks like it's just been touched, so I'm going to move a few things going to ruffle a couple times around, turn it around as if they're actually eating, so that looks kind of real, so mad he's going to wrap her arm around kittens back, you guys going to be looking at each other? Turning in this way and in a second I'm going to give maddie and action right now I'm just going to get my settings and kind of see where we are so yeah this is totally fine this is great radio cozy night in I am good so if it gets quiet you guys and ignores okay this is exactly where I want to be perfect beautiful so my focus is going to be on matty great now maddie can you get your right hand so what happens is maddie's right hand is always extend down low I'm going to have her pick up a cookie are these edible jen cookies are edible oh good I know e good so what d'you matty's I want you teo lifted the cookie and kind of tease him look a look a kitten kind of put it in his mouth but not all the way oh, good, good, good, good look good.
