Working with Vendors for Styled Shoots
This episode covers many aspects of working with vendors for styled shoots from how to inquire and book as well as post-production.
Styled shoots can be really helpful in building a network, portfolio, and experience. We explain what to watch out for, how you benefit, and processes you can use along the way.
Two amazing (and so very helpful) quotes from this episode:
Harlee, “I am a professional social media stalker.”
Heather, “I am the most awkward person in the entire frikkin world and I hate talking on the phone!”
