Every photo you create for your client has the goal of selling clothing, makeup or accessories to a consumer. Your photo cannot simply look beautiful and interesting – it must also convince someone to buy your clients’ product. This is a fine line to walk and often requires a combination of psychology and sociology in addition to creativity and skill.

Sander believes, “The satisfaction that you have increased sales for your client while people look at your photos and appreciate the beauty of them can be one of the greatest thrills.” Come learn the skills and get the thrills while escaping the hot July weather with Sander-Martijn.

I’ll pop by too!

Opinion: Please Stop Wearing a Photo Vest if You Don’t Need to Be Wearing a Photo Vest

When I got into this industry years ago, one thing really confused me almost as much as how much certain older photographers tend to treat the younger generation of us: photo vests. I’m completely positive that you’ve all seen them: a photographer of a certain distinguishment (or trying to show off without having said distinguishment) wearing their vests that look a lot like safari vests. You know, almost as if they’re going to go out on an African safari at all times without being anywhere near something like a safari. Walking down the streets doing street photography? You’ll see a photo vest. In the studio? Photo vest! Hiking? Yup, A Photo vest!

While other manufacturers like Sony have made all things Mirrorless smaller, the late comer to the Mirrorless party seems to have decided that bigger is better. In a recently released interview, Canon engineers seem to be having a sly dig at Sony by saying that lenses with smaller mounts are far less capable than those with larger mounts. Read on after the break to find out more about what the Canon engineers are wafting on about.
