When we decided to start this new project in which we show you videos of the making of our microstock sessions, we immediately realised the problems that come  when talking in front of a camera if you are not used to it. Embarrassement, not knowing what to say, the camera effect (which is the change of behaviour that many people have when they get in front of a camera). All these issues make it difficult, as well as fun, to record videos in which someone explains something, so, just like everything else, you have to practice to get it right.
We set up a microstock photo shoot, planned as something simple in the studio, in which we took portraits of Oli, our model, who also played the role of influencer/ youtuber.

As part of the session, we took the opportunity to practice video recording Oli giving a simple explanation of what we do and how we work.
In this test video and in between laughs, Oli tells us what she likes and what she doesn’t like about the sessions, how we plan and prepare them, what kind of photos we take and where, what material we use…

We hope you enjoy it as much as we did filming it.
