Presenting Professionally
So, we've sought some accounting advice and we have a pretty good idea of how our company's gonna work. We then create the company and we're ready to go. Now, what do we do? I think that in the beginning, at least for me, I was a little bit messy on how I presented myself to the world as a company, as a professional photographer. So then began a journey of refining my website and not just using Instagram as the sole place to find my work, to find me, to find my contact details. But also using my website and creating professional email attached to my website. Back then, even using business cards. Just any type of way to firstly, get my contact details out, and also to create this unified appearance of my brand, if you would call it, on the internet. And it took a little while to build my website up. I actually use Squarespace, as many people do, to basically be a hub for my photography. For a system to share my prints and my latest portfolio. And a lot of my business inquiries will come...
actually through my website rather than directly through Instagram. Even though we have the email there, I feel like people just want to go that little bit of an extra mile and check your actual professional website before they commit to sending that email. So, by just creating this cohesion around all of your public sites or social media accounts and your emails, you can really just level up your business a little bit.

Very Informative & Awe Inspiring Both Benjamin and Alex have played huge roles in my photographic style development over the years and it is great to hear first hand exactly what inspires and drives Ben to keep pushing his creative boundaries. Personally, I love his minimalist approach and it was super insightful to watch him explain how he developed that style and how he actively produces photographs in a cohesive manner. 10/10 recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a very unique and profound perspective with the intent of expanding your creative horizons.

First Workshop The first workshop I have ever purchased. I've always been hesitant to invest in a workshop, however this went above and beyond my expectations. Fluid in progression, great insight and a super relaxed learning curve full of information. I feel this has prepared me to take my own personal photographic journey to the next level. Executed to perfection. Nice work guys! 10/10 recommended.

Moving to Iceland now...? Loved this workshop! I really liked the way the modules are split up, and the way you watch Benjamin go out on location for a shot, then immediately sit down and watch his editing process for that specific shot. So much editing to learn too, since he doesn't use presets! The workbook is also super thorough, so printing it out allowed me to pay close attention and just add little notes here and there. The Iceland road guide is also SO helpful and in depth. Can't wait to use it. Also loved that Ben talked about printing your own work. Would be cool to maybe see something from Wildist in the future that goes even more into depth on that (calibrating your own printer, working with a print shop, dropship sites, etc.) Awesome course. Thanks, Hardman.
