Software
These are some of the software we recommend to make your job as a branding photographer easier, faster and more profitable.

Visual Flow Lightroom Presets save us soooo much time on editing! We recommend the Modern Pack with Modern Tool Kit.
Website Platform
Squarespace is an easy website building and hosting platform we've been using for years. If you're not sure what to include on your website, make sure you take our Branding Photography Business Course.
Foundational Photography Techniques for Commercial Photographers
Before you can succeed in business as a branding photographer, you need to have mastered the technical and artistry aspects of photography. We recommend the following courses to fill in the gaps not covered by our Branding Photography Course, where we teach you lighting, posing and styling specific to branding photography.
It's absolutely essential to have a comprehensive understanding of exposure, lighting and editing. Having foundational skills in architecture, food and product photography will help add to your level of expertise in the commercial photography world.
