SpreeCast with Andy and the Unknown Photographer on Boudoir Photography

http://www.spreecast.com/events/jessica-lark-unknown-unscripted-ep3

So I recently had the honor of of being featured on Andy’s Radio show with the Unknown Photographer. We talked about everything boudoir related, including my sessions, how I price, market, my thoughts on photography, getting started, branching into wedding photography and going professional full time. There’s also lots of witty banter and silliness, and inappropriate innuendos included. Go check it out

The Seduction of Video, with Playboy Model Sarah Clayton

I… am a fantastic writer, and a terrible blogger. It’s so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the day, the kids, the chores, the photos, the editing, the business; and use those things as an excuse as to why I havent blogged at all recently, but the truth is, had I taken any of the time I spend playing on facebook and instead invested it here, I would have found time to update every day. You know this. You know the more avenues your presence is on, the more social mediums, the more outlets, the larger your outreach. You owe it to your success to do this.
Here is the joy of the internet: anyone can be as big as they decide to be. You can reach people all over the world that would have never heard your name 15 years ago. And you don’t have to pay a dime. People love the sincere and the genuine. They’re curious about you. They like you, love you, or hate you, but in any case they’re paying attention. Some of you hate to write, or simply aren’t very good at it, but there are other things you can do. As photographers a picture is worth a thousand words, so quite simply you can post a photo every day, no writing, just the image, and let it speak for itself. There’s no reason we aren’t doing this, in this day and age. And I apologize that I have been absent so long.
So in another realm I have been having a secret tryst with HDVideo. A lot of photographers are embracing fusion photography, but I’m loving on it a bit for it’s own sake. It’s certainly not as some would claim, solely useful for wedding photographers, in fact the videos that are getting the most notoriety for me are the Cinematic Seductions from my boudoir shoots, like the one above with the lovely Ms. Clayton, who among many others has been photographed for Playboy. There’s something seductive and intimate in a more voyeuristic fashion that I’m loving. And while we were really just playing around with it, almost instantly she had her fans asking to buy a copy and my phone was ringing from clients wanting to book a video project for themselves. They’re great fun, don’t take me much longer to shoot than a standard boudoir session, and take me the same amount of time to splice together as editing an entire session. Take a look give me some feedback, let me know how you could implement video into your sessions… and yes I’m drooling over the promise of the coming 5DMIII <3
