Vintage French Top

Preparation

Your average client is not going to make the best choices about what clothes to bring if left to their own devices. In this talk preparing for her shoot with the dancer Rayna, who will be wearing a Vintage French Top from the studio wardrobe, Sue talks styling and how to build a studio wardrobe. Styling begins with educating your clients on what to bring in, and it can extend into what kind of pieces to consider getting for a studio wardrobe. The top questions Sue gets asked about studio wardrobe are:

  • How do I know what to buy?
  • How much should I spend?
  • What size should I get?

Sue answers those questions and also talks about the importance of in-person consultations and how they can dramatically increase your sales.

Shoot Part 1

Sue balances multiple creative demands as she shoots both stills and video for the dancer Rayna. At the same time, she works with her experimental impulse to shoot through a layer of tulle. Watch how she plays with these elements, moving from the seed of an idea into finding something that really works.

Items Used:

  • Vintage French Top
  • Tulle Lens Skirt

Key Take Away:

  • Keep pushing yourself through the moments when you feel uncomfortable or stuck. That’s often when you will find something beautiful.

Shoot Part 2

Sue goes further into experimentation, binging in a length of tulle for Rayna to wear and dance with. Sue teaches you how to work with a client in motion by watching them move and isolating the shapes you wish you to capture.

Key Take Away:

  • Sometimes choosing pieces that go together and going into a shoot blindly can lead you to something beautiful you might not have thought of originally.

Selection

Sue takes you through the images from Rayna’s Vintage French Top shoot, and she opens up about her thought process and struggles in finding the shots she was looking for.

Key Take Away:

  • Take your time to see and explore. Sometimes you’ve got to let the thing find you.

What Our Members Are Saying

Sue is not just a mentor, in the area of photography; she's a life coach in the area of living. Simply put, The Portrait System, was the best investment I have made into myself, and my business, since it began! David Lee
The Portrait System allowed me to grow from hobbyist with a borrowed camera and a dream, to professional portrait photographer with a six-figure business. There is no way I would be here without her education. Cat Ford-Coates
The Portrait System has given me ALL of the tools needed to take me from a "shoot and burn" photographer making less then $200 a session to a portrait photographer with a studio and over a $1200 average and growing in less than 4 months. Ashley Lindsey
The Portrait System has been the single-most impactful thing I've incorporated into growing my business, and in many ways, my life! Andrew Knowles
Building a successful and sustainable photography business is no secret anymore. The Portrait System provides you with every tool you need to master your craft, how to market and sell and overall how to become the best version of yourself. You just have to do the work! Ursula Schmitz
By far the best investment you will ever make for your business and for yourself. I will never let my subscription lapse. Never. Liz Wikstrom Barlak
In my photography journey, I have tried many educational platforms, but none felt as comprehensive as The Portrait System. Without a doubt, if not for Sue and her teachings, I would not be seeing the level of business success that I am seeing today. Neon Howe
