There is so much hard work done behind the glitz and glam of fashion photography — although the gorgeous outcome can be worth it. And just like wedding photography, the "dirty work" is usually the key to the best results.

In episode 554 of the Bokeh Podcast, we have Rago Alasa come on to explain ways you can use skills from fashion photography to implement in wedding photography and vice versa! Listen in to learn tips and recommendations about how to pose clients in a more fashion forward approach and also develop a consistent style in your photography!
