Shooting great and saleable lifestyle photography is a great way to build a profitable business model as a photographer. Lifestyle bleeds into many other areas: advertising, fashion, beauty, catalogue, stock and more. Nearly every kind of advertisement today involves lifestyle photography yet identifying it as a major focus is not as common as you might think.
Andrew Southam has been making successful lifestyle campaigns for many years and has made his mark in this corner of the industry. Find out how he approaches his shootings, who hires him and why.
Course Description
Lifestyle Advertising photography is an exciting way to make a living as a photographer, as well as way to create work that is the truest expression of the photographer’s personal vision.
