Brand Photoshoot retreat experience

I am one of photographers for a brand content creation and strategy company called Reframe. A big part of Reframe’s offering is not only ongoing social media and brand strategy education, but also content creation in the form of photoshoot retreats. What is a brand photoshoot retreat? It is a dedicated time and space where participants go to, well, create lots of content! 

Location is important because there needs to be a draw for the client to come and experience something fun while creating very unique content. It helps to have a place unique enough so that you’re not thinking, “why do I need to go all the way there if I can just do it here at my house?” The images I provide here are from the Tulum retreat. The house was incredible and the outdoor area was just spectacular.

The amount of participants will dictate the amount of creatives needed. For about 10 people you will need at least 3 photographers and 1 videographer. Each photographer is set up at an area like, kitchen, living, bath indoors. Outdoors we were spread out by the pool, beach, and front of house. Each person moves through the different areas as well as spending time with the videographer. 

The benefits of photoshoot retreats are numerous. First you don’t have to think about a thing! There is help from a lot of people to assist you during the shoot, making sure you have hair and makeup and to help you plan for the shoot (what wardrobe, which props etc.). You can simply show up and not worry about a thing. Second, there are other people also getting their pictures taken which helps alleviate some of stress you may feel by observing everyone else. Third, group shots are so difficult to get when just having a solo portrait session with a photographer so people that need images of them counseling, training or lifestyle shots for themselves or their products can have them. BONUS is you have a group of people to also hang out with after the photoshoot! BONUS #2 let’s not forget all the images and content created will last for many many posts to come! 

So if you are one of those people that need content, don’t like creating it yourself, are sick of creating it yourself all the time, find it a chore to take pictures, or just want to get your images done all at once while having fun doing it, check into photoshoot retreats. I hope to see you in the next one! https://www.reframeyourbiz.com

warehouse photoshoot For branding, fitness, and art

I try to do a special shoot where I pick a location and offer my clients something unique that they can participate in. I rented time at this warehouse through peerspace which had a really cool old industrial look I was going for. I always try to be professional so I will not risk trespassing where I’m not allowed, especially with clients. Many property owners are pretty open to allowing use of their space and never hurts to ask. Since I shoot art, fitness and branding photography, I used this same warehouse space for all those kinds of shots. 

In this blog I will give you just an overview of my thoughts about working in a space like this so you can simply have them as considerations when you plan or participate in a similar photoshoot situation. 

1) Warehouse locations are often not heated or air-conditioned so keep in mind the temperature. I shot in the spring and the fall. You can perhaps get away with shooting in the summer because the space was made of concrete and stayed very cool. 

2) It’s dark so bring lights just in case. The gorgeous windows definitely added some incredible light and drama but sometimes it was too dark and having a light helped a lot. 

3) The room is grand so having my 24mm-70mm lens was very helpful. I sometimes don’t get it when photographers spend all this time and money on a location then shoot the subjects with a very blurry background or cropped tight in the frame. 

4) The floor is so dirty! It is hard to get any images where the person can sit or lay on the floor. Be careful of your model touching a surface then touching their face or clothing! There will be hand and finger prints everywhere. I brought a lot of wet wipes to this shoot. We had some shots using a chair but you will not get any shots of lying on the floor unless you bring something to put on the ground. 

5) The light moves throughout the day. The very large window light was only available to me in the morning. So I had to plan on the kind of client that I needed to get that shot with and schedule appropriately. I had to get really creative at the end of the day when there was barely any light. We had fun chasing the light and mostly worked within the rooms that had great light. It’s all part of the fun and sporadic surprises of shooting in different spaces.
