Video interview with Brand Photographer Ursula Kelly

Hi Theo, 

Last year I booked a brand photo shoot with Ursula Kelly, multi award winning photographer.
 
Ursula has worked with well know celebrities and brands and has won over 30 awards in the last 8 years, so I was thrilled to spend the day with her.
 
Although her work includes fashion photography, food photography, headshots, family portraits, documentary work and much more, her specialism is portrait photography.
 
And one of her superpowers is working with female entrepreneurs to bring out their personality and visual brilliance.


 
Brand photographs can be a great way to communicate more about you and your business to a wider audience, giving an insight into who you are and what you're about.
 
If you're thinking about or planning your own photo shoot, and want some tips and advice, I caught up with Ursula after a recent photo shoot and recorded a short video interview with her.
 
Ursula's colleague Make-Up Artist and Stylist, Jo Way joined in the conversation as well.
 
Just click this link here which will take you  to the page where can watch the video or listen to the audio recording.
 
In our time together we talked about ......
 
~ Why brand photography so important for businesses
 
~ Ursula's top tips for preparing for a photo shoot
 
~ How to feel confident and relaxed in front of the lens
 
~ The value of working with a make-up artist
 
~ How Ursula is helping Brands develop on-line.

I hope you enjoy the interview!

To your success,

Want to boost your online profile? Join me for this special video skills workshop.

Hi Theo, 

One of my intentions this year is to increase my visibility; specifically, my confidence in front of the camera, as I know how important this is for any business!
 
Research shows that customers are more likely to buy after watching a video about you, your product or service. They want to get a sense of who you are, your energy and how you show up, not just what you offer.
 
And if you want to reach a national or global audience the quickest way to do this is to go live on screen with videos on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram as well as YouTube.
 
For some of us this means taking a BIG step out of our comfort zones.

But if you're like me, you know it's an important skill to master, you've been thinking about this for a while and maybe you've been procrastinating on taking action, I'm very excited to introduce you to Roz Morris - a very talented Broadcaster and Media Trainer, and Managing Director of TV News London.  

Roz hosts workshops to help you learn how to talk to the camera and present yourself and your business professionally in online videos.

She has very kindly agreed to arrange a very special and very intimate half day training for myself and fellow business owners in April in London.
 
Join me to learn how to...
 
~ Look your best in online videos promoting your business
~ Convince people you are worth listening to
~ Gain business by using video to increase your online profile.
 
You will also discover more about preparing your script, choosing the right setting, lighting, and use of voice, pace and performance
 
If this of interest and you want help to get started, OR you're already posting videos and want to brush up your skills on camera, please reply to this email or send a message to info@susantomlinson.com and I will be in touch with all the details, including the course outline.
 
The investment for the workshop is £160 (including VAT) per person
 
More about Roz....
 
Roz has many years' experience as a broadcaster and media trainer.  She co-founded TV News London in 1992 and is an accredited trainer for the Independent Television Association. She has been a news reporter, newsreader and programme presenter for BBC TV, ITN, Thames TV, and Tyne Tees TV, where she was the first woman in the North East of England to be the regular presenter of the weekly political and business programme. 
 
She also worked as a correspondent for BBC Scotland, based in Edinburgh, and for RTE (Irish national radio and TV) as a London Correspondent. She has been a reporter and presenter for LBC/IRN and BBC Radio News, a feature writer for the Evening Standard and a staff reporter and feature writer for The Observer and The Guardian, where she was the youngest reporter on both papers.
 
As well as being a leading media trainer, she is currently a blogger for TV News London and the Huffington Post UK on media matters.
 
I do hope you can join me. It will be a very supportive and safe environment to learn how to get comfortable in front of the camera, whether this is your phone or your computer.

To your success,
