50. Photography Pt. 1: “There has to be a vibe about it…”

The Mud Peddlers: Ceramic Art Behind the Scenes

Lindsey and Donte talk about how they take photos. There’s talk of light, color, angles, backgrounds, editing tools, and the ever-important vibe of photographs -- and how it relates to their branding. They also share some tips that helped them as they started taking pictures of their work...there's even a little homework assignment for you to try out if you’re doing the same.

What do you struggle with the most when you take photos? What’s one photography tip you've found the most helpful?

***One resource Lindsey forgot to mention in the episode is the photography course offered by Rebecca of The Maker’s Playbook podcast. She also offers free photography tips in her newsletter. Here’s the link for those interested!
