Boudoir Photography That Helps Women Find Their Fierce

February 7, 2016 by Seshu | Editor & Publisher

Based in Rochester, New York, Terri Fiske passionately believes she can help women find their fierce through a boudoir photography session.

She says: “Women are so busy being wives, mothers, teachers, business owners that they forget to celebrate that they are beautiful, powerful and sexy.”

While this won't be her first time at Inspire Photo Retreats, Teri is attending the conference this time as a speaker. Her topic, Finding Your Fierce.

A few days back, I sat down with Teri to find out what she means by “finding your fierce” in boudoir photography and why women are drawn to her services:

Teri is set to present her approach at Inspire Photo Retreats, starting tomorrow in Newport, Rhode Island.

Be sure to catch Teri Fiske at Inspire Photo Retreats this year, if you are interested in boudoir photography too.

Dani Fine Photography is a Northampton, Massachusetts studio that caters to both wedding and portrait clients. Dani Klein-Williams, principal photographer, will be presenting at Inspire Photo Retreats in February.

Like the other interviews in this series (check out 1 – Doug Levy, 2 – Jane Ammon and 3 – The Scobey's), we scheduled a quick Skype chat about her presentation at Inspire – “Let's Get Down to Business… Why Sales are Sexy”

Here are a few examples of Dani's work:

Find out more about Dani Klein-Williams here.

For more information about the Inspire Photo Retreats conference please visit the site. I urge you to register early and secure your hotel room.

If you are still on the fence, please take a look at all the speakers who will be coming to Portland. I believe speakers like Dani and others have one mission: to inspire you to do your best work in the new year. Everybody needs that kind of motivation. If you agree, I expect to see you at Inspire Photo Retreats in 2015!

A Manifesto: 10 Habits of Successful Professional Photographers

February 12, 2012 by Seshu | Editor & Publisher

Christa Meola just wrapped up a three-day seminar on boudoir photography on CreativeLive. Did you catch any of it? I checked out her website and stumbled upon her manifesto. It's both for herself and other professional photographers. It is lucid and succinctly written. It's a quick read. I encourage you to download it.

“I wrote this Manifesto for pro’s and newbies alike. As professional photographers, we all need to be reminded of good habits from time to time. For those just starting out, it’s great to encourage wise habits from the beginning.”

The 10 Habits of Successful Professional Photographers:

1. I Know Myself, My Brand and My Client
2. I Value My Talent and Time
3. I Show Up With All That I Am
4. I Know My Gear Inside and Out
5. I Shoot With Intention
6. I Adapt
7. I Embrace Collaboration
8. I Exceed Expectations
9. I Sell Experience and Emotion
10. I Believe In The Power of Imagery To Change The World

Christa travels internationally for commissioned projects and conducts photography workshops and mentorship programs for fellow professional photographers. She’s written a book on how to photograph women, EXPOSED: Redefining Boudoir that includes a chapter for guys too. Follow Christa on Twitter or connect with her on Facebook.

If you missed any of Christa's presentation at CreativeLive, you can buy The Boudoir Workshop by 12 pm EST tonight for $99. (nope, not an affiliate link) If you miss that deadline the price reverts to $149. From my experience with CreativeLive seminars, though, that is still a very good deal.

Have you written a manifesto? Or, do you have a mission statement that guides you and your business? Share it below!
