A Night with the Pros:
Event Photography Beyond Weddings
With Kimberly Olker
Cr.Photog., CPP
Weddings can be wonderful to photograph but they can also be seasonal, leaving you with dry spells in your schedule. Expanding your event photography business to include other significant life events can keep you busy all year long!
With many of these events, it’s important to know more than just your camera settings, lighting and posing skills to produce the best work for you and your clients.
Kimberly will walk you through a variety of event photography possibilities to add to your business. Then she will go into significant detail for photographing a Bar/Bat Mitzvah with both elegance and respect. She will explain terminology and symbols, religious significance, the service details and the timeline for the day. She will also explain when you should NOT be photographing during the service and how a photographer can avoid accidentally showing any disrespect.
If you’re looking to expand your event photography business into this specific genre, you need this information to be a success! It takes Chutzpah to be a great Bar/Bat Mitzvah photographer – Kimberly will first explain what this means and then explain how to get there!
