Heyyyy!

As promised, this week's episode will get your out into the world and taking pictures of what catches your eye! 👀

Alrighty, let's dive right in! Here are a few exercices to help you be more aware of your environment!

You should have approximately 100 to 150 images and approximately 50 separate subjects. You may need to shoot the same subject multiple times to get different points of view and exposure.

This project works:

Take photos directly in monochrome in your camera

Set your ISO to 200 (400 if it's dark outside).

What to photograph:

You shouldn't literally photograph a shape as it is. You have to structure the image geometrically, so that the entire image has the required shape.

As mentioned, you can send me your photos to view them and give you feedback. Post them on Instagram and tag me @korina_joseph_podcast or send them to me via direct messages on Instagram @korina_joseph_podcast

What the heck does MASP mean on your camera? How do I use them? “Whattttt? I’m so lost, I’ll just use auto”… said no professional photographer ever.

This is how you know that it’s getting real! You’ve reached the step of wandering beyond the auto or scene settings on your camera; now what?

In this episode, we tackled the different modes that DSLR and mirrorless cameras have. I prefer to shoot in M (manual mode) as I have FULL control on my camera’s settings. However, some photographers prefer to shoot in Aperture priority, Shutter speed priority, and even Program.

But what are the differences between them? And which should you use in a given situation? Here, we explain what each one does and when you may want to use it.

Remember, the best way to learn is to go out into the world and try things. You may fail but you will definitely learn!

Tune in next week as we will be discussing how to shoot in harsh lighting and I’ll be giving y’all a couple of exercises to do to be more familiar with the powerful tool you have in your hands i.e., your camera.

Let’s rock this week,

Hey you,

Yeah, you! The photographer listening to this episode!

We all know that things aren't always sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows... We're living in a digital age where everyone has a camera in their pocket. You should not be seeing this as competition because you need to positon yourself as the expert!

In this episode, I discuss some common objections that you may hear and how to respond to these objections. And let's be honest, pricing is often an issue!

Stop the head trash! You can do this!

I believe in you!!

Best,

K

Listen up y'all!! We need to talk.

What does your morning routine look like? Does your alarm ring 30 minutes before you have to leave the house or do you snooze your alarm twice in the AM?

If this is you case, you NEED a morning routine! Morning routines help set the tone for your day... and trust me, you don't want your day to start with you rushing to brush your teeth, grab a bagel, and speed off to work. Morning routines allow you to control your schedule rather than your schedule controlling you.

Each day deserves a fresh start and having a proper morning routine will help you focus on your day, what's ahead, where to prioritize your energy & your time... this leads to increased productivity! Score!!

Hi my PhotographyVerse friends!

As entrepreneurs, what we do does not feel like work cause it's what we love to do!!

BUT, and yes, there's a but!!

In this week's episode, we talk about the importance of taking a break in order to recharge. Taking a break does not mean closing-up shop for two months, but simply ensuring that you take time for yourself.

Taking a break can mean many things... putting your phone down 1h before bed, accepting that it's okay to answer an e-mail the next day, setting time aside to paint, taking half a day off to go for a hike and connect with your surroundings.

Overtime, these little activities will make a BIG difference. Ask yourself, at the current rate that you're going. How long can you keep it up? 1 week, 2 months, 6 months, a year, 3 years, 5 years? This is extremely important. If you cannot keep going at this pace longterm, definitely take the time to re-evaluate what you're doing. You do not want to burn out.

Yo yo yo!!👋🏾👋🏾

Take this as a sign!

There is nothing else I can tell you besides its time to invest in yourself... not tomorrow, not in a week or a month but NOW!

You've got this! Believe in yourself✨

Hello podcast peopleeeee 👋🏾

I'm so excited that this podcast is finally out!

This episode, completely unscripted, talks about how I have performance anxiety AND I know I'm not the only one.

I wish I could be writing in the past tense but I still struggle with focusing too much on the outcome, and not enough on the process. I'm not perfect, I still focus on the end results and do certain actions for the sole purpose of getting closer to my goal. This is something that I'm working on and I open up about what I do to ensure that I am providing value, enjoying the process, and being selfless -- not selfish.

Follow my journey! #OnTheWayToSucess

Heyy heyyyy!

In this week's episode, I get personal.

I discuss my recent promotion within one of my businesses... I was told by family AND friends that my goals were too big, that it was just a dream that would not and could not be true. I used their negativity as fuel to prove to them (and to myself) that I am able to achieve big goals. However, in order to achieve a goal, a game plan needs to be written and put into action.

This episode details the importance of having daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly goals.

Do you have unwavering faith in yourself and in your goals? Are you easily shaken up by other people's opinion of you? Or do you use the naysayers words as fuel?
