Since then, I have invested some cash into my business and I have seen a significant increase in my quality of work because of it.<\/a><\/p>\n

Doing this has enabled me to book more clients, HELP more clients and grow as a business. Let this be a little reminder to you that sometimes it can be daunting to invest in yourself, but what you put in, you get out tenfold!<\/p>\n

[1] Studio Light | Godox Sl60w<\/a><\/h3>\n

I’m not going to lie – I have always been a natural light lover. I mean when you are shooting beautiful weddings every weekend, how could you not love that golden hour glow?<\/p>\n

But then I moved to product photography and I foolishly (yes strong word) thought natural light would suffice.<\/p>\n

To say it didn’t cut it is an understatement. I have bought 2 sets of studio lights, not to mention the tripods, wall mounts, diffusers and other trimmings that go with them.<\/p>\n

This has been a total game-changer.<\/p>\n

I can work whenever I like regardless of the time of day or the weather conditions. It’s amazing. I also have so much more control of my light and can manipulate it to do whatever I want meaning I can create exactly the image I have in my mind.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
