How to take your own photos and video for your social media

How to shoot your own photos and video for your business

I get asked all the time how I take photos for my business. So here I am sharing it in a quick video for you.

As a photographer, I think every entrepreneur who has an online business should know how to take their own photos and videos to promote their brand regardless if they hire a professional photographer for their brand shoot.

Look, I know most photographers don’t want to share their tips and tricks because they think they will lose business. But that’s simply not the case. There will be times when you just can’t get a photographer to help you out. Or maybe you’re just starting out with your business and need to start bringing in clients so you can work your way up to hiring a professional photographer.

If we haven’t met yet, my name is Jessica Hanlon and I’m a brand photographer on a mission to help entrepreneurs build their brand online by teaching you how to be confident in front of the camera as well as confident behind the camera. I’m passionate about helping entrepreneurs learn the skill that every business owner needs to know. Which is an understanding of how to use your phone or fancy camera to help you grow your business.

And when you’re ready to book that fun and elevated brand shoot you will have the confidence to show up with a plan, a vision, and the confidence to stand in front of the camera because you put in the work to understand all the elements of building a personal brand with the right foundation.
