Marketing II: Styling 101 - The Photo Shoot

Doesn't every good floral and event designer need to know how to style a photo shoot? Yet it's one thing that few people know how to do and how to do it well. Why is the art of the photo shoot so important because with the increase of wedding blogs, more and more blog creators are looking for content. Even if you don't do magazine or blog work, it's important to learn how to style a photo shoot.

Even more important, we need to know the difference between what will be editorial worth and what is not. See as Nancy sets up a real floral table design that is publish worthy.

In our competitive market, to stand out, you need your floral work to be uniquely significant and relevant. Showcasing your work to your clients is KEY.

To make your portfolio stand out, you need work that shines and looks as great as an image as it does in reality. Your website gallery and your floral portfolio represent your image and there's nothing more important than getting your work to echo your unique brand beliefs and promises. Often times, business owners use amateurish images that are over exposed with too much "flash" that doesn't highlight the beauty of wedding work and detail flowers. More important what does it take to build a portfolio that's truly worthy of your business identity.
