Perou Talk

Having had Perou give a talk first hand was useful in that we were able to gain some first hand knowledge from a professional in the industry. Some key points he made during the talk included:

Always have a unique selling point

Content of the image over form (He's much more interested in whats in the photo than the lighting/technique used)

Photography is a language, we should be saying something with our photos

Communicate with the creative team involved and the model

We take the photos, we should be giving something back 

This talk encouraged me to ensure I am also communicating with the other people I am working with. Whether it be a stylist or a make up artist it is so important to know that they understand my intentions and are prepared and ready.
