HEY YOU!!
If you've read this far down, I'm guessing you're looking for some more info. So - Hi! I'm Tracy, I have a passion for photography that I'm currently trying to create into a business. I love working with other passionate people, and that's what I love to photograph too (when I'm not photographing my own kids, lol)! So I'm heading into Brand Photography (I'm also a total nerd for marketing and branding. I could talk for HOURS about ideas. ) I'm also a Mum, and we homeschool our 3 kids and live in small town New Zealand. Thanks for coming along to my video - please drop me a comment (or come DM me over on FB or IG) if you have any questions about the video's I could answer for you! I'm also always creating templates and guides and notes for myself too - so I put a lot of that stuff up on my website as well - I'll include that link here as soon as I've sorted out a central page for it! www.redandthewolfphotography....

I love your comment about how would your friends describe your photography, food photographer, portrait photographer or just "photographer". Being drawn and marketing to a specific type of photography doesn't mean you can't photograph other things as you mentioned, it just gives you your own spot on the "shelf" so people can find you.

[@redandthewolfphotography]

I think in the beginning most of us just want to photography EVERYTHING. I just took my camera everywhere. lol. But now I'm wanting to move into the professional field - I really need to niche down, and I think if your friends can describe what you do, I think that's a good indication that you're representing yourself on social media well. And that's a great analogy - yea, it's like being in the right spot on the shelf to be found. That's exactly it.

[@Stone1108]

Well done for addressing this, respect.

[@redandthewolfphotography]

Thanks. I think there's a lot of us out here feeling it, so I wanted to address it. :)

This was really great. You just earned a new sub :)

[@redandthewolfphotography]

Thanks! I'm a little mind blown at people subscribing still. :)

[@jimpchip]

Your "Thanks to # of Subs" is a little behind. Nice. Another good video.

[@redandthewolfphotography]

Thanks! :) 138 was accurate on Tuesday when I filmed - it's crazy how quickly it's climbing!

[@ankushmaurya1822]

hey tracy adventurer your content is amazing been watching ur videos from few days u need to improve the color grading and add key points through the captions bit transitions its bit appealing just an observation it can get more engaged audience Lemme know if you need an video editor.

[@redandthewolfphotography]

Hi! Thanks for that. :) I still have a lot to do in the area of colour grading - actually, lots to learn about the whole process! But just like with photography, another few years and I'll get it right. :)

[@ankushmaurya1822]

@@redandthewolfphotography tracy if you need an video editor I'll happy to help you with that

[@redandthewolfphotography]

Thanks, but that's a skill I really want to work on too. :) The editing bit makes me really happy. :)

[@asheeshkchopra]

Absolutely wonderful content but it’s too non-stop. I wish you would not have so many cuts to remove natural gaps while speaking.

[@redandthewolfphotography]

Honestly Asheesh, I would love to too - but I don't think/speak well on camera. I think so much better when I write, so I script most of it before I film. And with the kids in the background, it's easy to get distracted while I'm doing it - and some days I'm just exhausted from burning the candle at both ends at the moment. So I put it together like that because I'm often looking down at the script I have on my phone, so it doesn't come out as naturally as I'd like - thus the quick cuts. It's a skill I'm hoping to improve on, but - as they say - you have to start somewhere. :) Thanks for reaching out though, I appreciate all the feedback to get better!
