    #123 - How to create powerful photos without using props

    Love the episode? Send me a text & tell me. This week, I’m sharing 2 ways to create powerful photos without props.  How to think on your feet, tools to use, and get creative with working with no props. How to use limited props to your advantage, and perhaps, even create a new style. Free yourself from the idea of using props all the time, and create visual stories by tapping into different techniques, whether it’s composition or lens. Here are two completely different ways to work without props to match your style and the food subject, so you’re never at a loss for ideas. Sometimes it’s a personal exploration of creativity and other times, it might be a client's brand style not to shoot with props. How do you step into a place of confident creativity to deliver their vision? Or what if you’re in the middle of a client shoot and they decide to shift the concept to fewer props? How would you tackle that challenge on the spot? Every photographer should have some tricks and techniques up their hip pocket. And this episode will give you those creative ideas to keep forever.

    #122 - Photography techniques to make sure the hero doesn't look flat in your photos

    Love the episode? Send me a text & tell me. This week on the podcast, I’m sharing key Photography techniques to make sure the hero doesn’t fall flat but stands out in your photos. I share ways to make sure the hero takes the center stage and isn’t mistaken for the sidekick.  Composition techniques that make sure that your hero is not in a spot it shouldn’t be in, and lighting concepts that you may not be aware of. Simple but powerful principles that can make the hero stand tall, get the spotlight, and command attention, as your photo deserves. Keeping basic, key principles in mind and being aware of how they’re playing out in your photo can make sure your hero is always the star. You’ll have the viewer hooked, create a strong visual story, the photo will look cohesive and intentional, and your photography will be at an advanced level. Your photo will make an impact. It will not only be a work of beauty for other creatives to get inspired by but also catch the attention of brands, who will immediately be able to visualise how you’ll work with their products.  But when the miss is embedded in composition or the subtleties of lighting, it goes unseen by most creators and leaves them wondering. Making the hero shine doesn’t require fancy gear or complicated techniques. It requires awareness & technique - the skills you already have.

    #121 - Photo editing tips to elevate your photography & grow your business with Roberta Dallalba - part 2

    Love the episode? Send me a text & tell me. Editing is directly linked to business results. It is the finishing touch to our creativity and to that raw photo. And if that end product does not blow the viewer’s minds, it’s a red alert - a gap we may not see, but clients most definitely will, which will begin to show up as fewer clients, clients not returning, confusion, and second-guessing ourselves. Editing isn’t just about creating a magnificent photo. It’s about creating a solid business on the foundation of solid skills because our editing skills position us as experts & increase our value to the client.  This week on the podcast, the queen of editing, Roberta Dallalba, continues to share powerful editing tips that not only elevate our photography but also grow our business.  Clients can love us. They can love our work ethic, our creativity, our talent, the raw photo out of the camera, the experience of working with us, but at the end of the day, if our editing doesn’t match their needs, none of that matters.  Read more at https://myfoodlens.com   Follow Dyutima on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dyutima_myfoodlens/   Show notes available at https://www.myfoodlens.com/blog/121-photo-editing-tips-to-elevate-your-photography-grow-your-business-with-roberta-dallalba-part-2 Have a question?

    #120 - Photo editing tips to elevate your photography & grow your business with Roberta Dallalba - part 1

    Love the episode? Send me a text & tell me. Often, we see editing in isolation from the creative process. In fact, many creatives don’t realise that editing is not an optional step, and miss it. The consequences of weak editing or missing it altogether are never obvious. When our photos don’t stand out, we are unable to create a brand’s style or don’t see progress in winning clients - we think of everything except editing. The role of editing and how it might be holding us back is not something that comes to us.  This week on the podcast, the queen of editing, Roberta Dall'Alba, shares powerful editing tips, but also how to use them to grow your business.  She shares the direct link between editing and business growth, an efficient editing workflow that saves time, pros and cons of different Lightroom versions, the power of AI in editing, bringing storytelling to editing, and much more. This isn’t just a masterclass in post-processing but a mindset shift to edit like a true Creative.

    #119 - Work for free? Here's how to decide when it's worth it.

    Love the episode? Send me a text & tell me. Free work or working in exchange for anything except $$$ isn’t a NO-NO.  In fact, it can be a big fat “YES” too. I share how to easily decide when to work for free. After endless mistakes & many lessons learnt, I’ve created a decision-making process for offers to work for free or in exchange for products. I’ve created a simple way to quickly decide whether an opportunity without monetary compensation is worth taking on or not. In this episode, I share exactly how to make that decision in minutes and free yourself from doubt, frustration, and being taken for a ride.  Working for free can be powerful, very high-value, and catapult your business  - but only when you do it on your own terms. This episode will show you exactly how to make a quick decision with complete confidence - a decision that will leave you joyful, satisfied, profitable, and creative, in spite of not being paid in cash.  Read more at https://myfoodlens.com   Follow Dyutima on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dyutima_myfoodlens/   Show notes available at https://www.myfoodlens.com/blog/119-work-for-free-here-s-how-to-decide-when-it-s-worth-it Have a question?

    #118 - How to use LinkedIn & video pitching to book more clients with less effort with Candice Ward - Part 3

    Love the episode? Send me a text & tell me. If we send our rates and the client ghosts us, we blame ourselves for being too expensive. If we don’t send our rates, but request more information and then the client ghosts us, we blame ourselves for sabotaging the opportunity.  If we send our rates and the conversation moves further, we think it’s sheer luck.  We are forever living in this debate between yes and no, sending or not sending, overcharging or undercharging.. Ughhh! The loop of doubt and insecurity continues. The truth is that this loop exists because we are missing an essential part of the business - boundaries. Boundaries and rules for the way we do things. In fancy words, a sales process. As we continue our mindblowing series with Candice Ward, a food photographer with a background in corporate sales, she talks about the absolute necessity of having a sales process in place. She shares the essential steps in a sales process, transitioning from pitching to closing the deals, the best way to handle objections, using a sales process to position yourself as a premium service.. and so much more.  Having a sales process in place gives us the highest level of clarity, and when we have clarity, the client has clarity. .. because it comes through in everything we do and say. If you’ve felt shaky sending out your rates, been unsure about how to proceed with a project, negotiate, or clear objections - having a sales process in place is your answer.

    Love the episode? Send me a text & tell me. This week on the podcast, Candice Ward, a business coach for creatives, food photographer, dessert blogger, and online educator with a background in corporate sales, shares how to use LinkedIn powerfully to boost your leads without stress and overwhelm.  She shares different ways to use LinkedIn, how to power it with chatGPT prompts, types of LinkedIn content that build credibility, how to optimize your LinkedIn profile to attract inbound leads, and the best way to turn a LinkedIn connection into a paying client without sounding salesy.  LinkedIn can come across as a stiff platform. But boy! It is a powerhouse and often underutilized. As creatives we flock towards Instagram and more visual platforms but if you’re trying to build a business, a presence on LinkedIn is non-negotiable. At least now, with the fickle algorithm of Instagram.  This episode is a conversation you will love.
