In today's episode we chat with Chanel French, an award-winning, published Portrait Photographer and UX Designer, living and creating in Atlanta, Georgia. As Chanel specializes in self portraits, and teaches others how to embrace and master this whole process (via The Art Of You course) we dove deeper with her into the intentionally, logistics and the mindset one should have when planning a self portrait shoot. Because while the outcome may result in more self love, self acceptance and self reflections - it’s not always an easy and sweet journey.

Apart from that, we break down the idea of trapping yourself into one Title and the unnecessary pressure you put on yourself, for not having everything figure out in life.

As creatives, sometimes we forget that our most valuable asset is our mind. We start doubting our craft and ideas, instead of fully exploiting the crazy creative concepts that we have in the back of our head. For today’s episode, we invited the queen of steamy couple sessions - Kayla Ruiz, and we chat with her about the importance of organizing personal shoots, where you plan everything per your own dream and taste, and carry out your visions. 

These types of sessions are incredibly important for keeping yourself motivated and creatively fueled. And if you’re lucky enough, these are the sessions that will get you on the radar of thousands of new clients, due to their originality, uniqueness and boldness.

Welcome to episode #3 of the FloInsider podcast.

During the first months of Coronavirus and the global pandemic, a new photography trend has emerged, which we hope continues to evolve as it is a beautiful, alternative way of creating art and recording life moments. If you haven’t guessed it yet, we're talking about Facetime photography. Many of you have seen examples and galleries of these slightly blurry, yet very mesmerizing and intriguing photos taken remotely, with a phone via FaceTime (or skype, or whichever other tools). Some of you have tried it with friends or clients, while others remained curious and wondering what Facetime photography is all about and how to give it a try.

We actually reached out to the person who got it all started and made it so popular. His name is Tim Dunk. He’s a wedding photographer based in the UK. And he’ll tell you everything you wanted to know about FaceTime photography - from process, to settings, to pricing and how to sell this service to clients.

Welcome to episode #2 of the FloInsider podcast.

We recorded this interview a couple of months ago, while the whole world was still in a global lockdown, trying to figure out how to survive and shift their income sources. Yet this topic will always be relevant. Our guest is a talented wedding photographer - Alex Cohen. She is known for her fearless and eccentric personality, her non-stop travel adventures and charming French accent. But not many know how it all got started. How Alex moved across the globe, from Paris to Australia, at the age of 20 with zero English skills, little money and no friends or family waiting for her on the other side of the planet. We talk with Alex about her journey of becoming a successful international photographer, the challenges of starting over in a new place and of course the impact of a global lockdown on someone who is used to being on the road non-stop.
