How I take my own photos - self portrait brand photo challenge 📸

[@TaraCrawford]

not only 2 hours to shoot a whole branding session by yourself, but a whole youtube video AND bts footage!!! she really did that!!!

[@katie]

haha it was an absolute sprint but I made it happen 😅

[@midwifesierranicole]

was literally thinking the same! got on comments to say @katiesteckly you're amazing! thank you for investing in the time to bring us along and inspire us to take initiative

[@marthaharrisofficial]

Great video Katie yes please do more videos on this topic. I really enjoy seeing this type of content to get ideas on how to do this.

[@NancyLiedel]

That satin dress is the bomb on you! I am doing this for my hand dyed yarn business in DC in two weeks. Thank you.

[@joonmade]

This is amazing! Thank you for all of this - especially taking the stigma out of feeling awkward at times. This obviously took time and planning and patience, but you also made it seem very doable. This is why I love your channel. Also, that sage slip dress is 🤩!

[@brit_unlimited1262]

There is a special place in Heaven for creators who have to be their own photographers!! So impressive that you’re able to do it so efficiently!! Thank you for the tips!! ❤❤🎉😍🙌🏼

[@profitlovers4248]

This is so fantastic to see how someone (who has awesome branding shots) does it themselves. Thanks so much for sharing the behind the scenes Katie. I am planning my shoot right now!

[@DebraJohnson]

This is an incredibly valuable tutorial. Thanks.

[@burnerphone5754]

This is my favorite video of yours and I’ve watched almost every single video on your channel! You are so dope and help us women content creators so much Katie, please make life solo photoshoot videos! This was empowering as hell.

[@byamberkri]

This video is FANTASTIC!! I would love to see more of this. I'd love to see ones with more detail about posing, utilizing the space you have (I live in an apartment), etc. I need brand photos but I'm so overwhelmed by the idea. Thank you so much Katie!

[@sheiladoerfler]

Thank you Katie! I'm so grateful I found this video you made! This is such a fabulous & informative video to help me prep for my DIY photoshoot. And I'm using a new Sony camera so your tips about remote controlling with an app for Sony was so perfect!

[@angiemartin7919]

Thank you, beautiful friend. I’m gonna try this today while I’m at my cute, beachside Airbnb. You are the cutest, by the way. Thanks for teaching me, even a Boomer, how to do all this. ❤

[@nikit.5240]

That was amazing to watch. Your photos turned out great.

[@honeishaabdul558]

Totally enjoy this! You’re amazing 😊

[@MadamMaxine5]

Fantastic video. You always provide amazing info in digestible chunks! Thank you!

[@dorothyvilleneuve]

Not me thinking you lived in another province and then realizing we’re in the same one! This whole thing is #goals and I’m super impressed with how you got it all done in 2 hours!

[@RachelEustace]

This is a great video. I don't know how you managed to get it all done! especially with the added pressure of recording BTS. well done!! 👏🏻

[@kaitlinlove7386]

I love this! Also gives me courage to do brand photos of myself, something I’ve been thinking of doing for awhile.

[@judithm.intuitivementor]

[@squamishmedium]

Brilliant, alllll your content is A++++

[@jeni_bean]

Thank you for sharing this video it was I enjoyed this video and the one you did yourself in the desert while you were on the road. Could you do more of a breakdown video because I am super new like new that I didn't know you had to photograph vertical as well I thought you could just do horizontal and then change the photo size to make it fit an ig pic, or even what lenses are needed. I only have a kit lense my camera came with.

[@trinanestor6653]

thank you for sharing!

[@erintherebel]

[@zaureshdoucette6364]

What a beautiful studio! Where is this? 😍

[@IvelinaAtanasovaGenchev]

Hey, Katies, this is my favorite video, thanks for sharing ❤ Now, I’m curious about your most used lens for portrait shots?

[@ramblinghoundmedia]

Your confidence is goals! 🙌 Thanks for the inspiration and awesome content. Would love to see more videos about doing your own photoshoots :) I'm desperately in need of more branding photos.

[@shirleypeters]

Great!

[@uursullla]

What settings to put on for self portrait?

[@Devonhc2195]

great. I am planning to try myself as i feel more comfortable alone only try to figure out camera etc. Renting location. I am curious as i normally pay so much for a photographer and result :(

[@kesmodelo]

Does the zv 1 take great photos too?

[@KrisTurnbull]

👏👏👏👏

[@SarahGluschke]

Hi, what is the name of the moodboard app you mentioned? No name? Sorry, I couldn’t find it anywhere

[@laxxurxxen]

Loved watching the behind the scenes of your branding photography! I feel like a lot of creators do not go in depth about how they do things and this was super helpful!

[@katie]

thank you!! really glad you enjoyed it :)

[@megcreates2.0]

This was fun to watch! More would be good😊

[@DawnofCooking]

Wow so proud of you it would be so hard doing this without help!!!

[@katie]

thank you :)

[@Yagirlnoe]

girl your phenomenal cuz this was stressful to me and i wasn’t even doing it so admirable

[@carina.belmonte]

Love the video - I also take my own brand photos. iI believe it helps so much to know our brand better.

[@katie]

and it's a really fun challenge!

[@megcreates2.0]

Did you say prior where your going?

[@justwant2Bfree]

Not me stressing for time seeing the lighting change in the first outfit lol! 😅 Katie!! I'm in Ottawa but I would totally drive out so you have a shooting buddy next time, not that you need it!! ❤️

[@jennifer_freitas]

I loved this video, I didn’t even put it on 1.5x speed like I do with most videos lol 😂

[@katie]

haha then I succeeded! haha

[@Flygyrl09]

I would like to hear about this new sony camera you are about to get.

[@katie]

okay cool! maybe I'll make a video about my current gear kit 🙌🏻

[@Flygyrl09]

@Katie Steckly cool thanks and then another one on why you upgraded and some test shots of the camera vs your old one.

[@megcreates2.0]

What I learned in modeling is to put your chin out. Go about an 1/2- 1inch out over where your natural head sits. Kinda like “walking like a chicken” but just move your head 😊 It really works

[@maryparticia626]

Amazing video and thank you for breaking it down!! Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 10days..

[@Noah-ts9dy]

Consistently investing with proper guidance in quality dividend paying companies is a relatively easy strategy to create wealth. Well I copy trades from daily signals of Mrs Jessica Madilyn McMain as recommended here previously
