Telling a Story With a Single Image with Lola Akinmade Åkerström workingWELL
-
- Entrepreneurship
In the digital age we live in, everyone can take a good photo, but taking a great photo that truly draws you in is something entirely different.
This week, photographer, author and TEDx speaker Lola Akinmade Åkerström joins Kristen and shares her take on storytelling through a single image. That's right! We're talking photography.
The first step is finding your unique voice. Lola discovered her voice in a most inspiring way [6:18].
There is power in being subtle, yet memorable. There is also power in a name. When trying to capture rawness in a photo, calling someone by their name - one of the only things that is universal in all languages - can bring out the greatest authenticity [14:45] while creating connection.
Lola dishes out photography tips for lifestyle brands that help create success in storytelling [15:09]. She also shares expert framing tips [17:08].
Throughout the pandemic, Lola has remained positive and shares how her idealist views have gotten her through the hardest of times [19:40]. She also shares where to find all of her resources for those who are craving more Lola insight [23:00].
