There is nothing better than when you get to be on a podcast and during the interview you realize just how much you click with the host. That was my exact experience talking about product photography with Erin Alexander on the Product Powerhouse Podcast.
The episode is Using Product Photography (and more) to Grow Your Product Shop and I’m thrilled with what a resource it has turned out to be! There is so much valuable information inside this 36 minutes.
We talk about:
A short intro about how I went from a nutritional scientist working in academia and public health to being a food and product photographer and stylist.
Why it’s okay not to outsource everything. Photographing your own products can serve as a creative outlet you enjoy.
Why narrowing in on your style is important whether you take your own photos or hire someone else to do it for you.
Types of photos that are important for your small business beyond individual product photos.
How it’s possible to create beautiful photos and not be that into expensive gear.
Time management and tips for making the time to build your skills for photographing your own products.
Head over to the Product Powerhouse Podcast to listen or find it on your favorite podcast platform such as Spotify.
Even if you don’t listen to this one, I highly recommend checking out Erin, Product Powerhouse, and the valuable resources she has for creative product-based businesses.
