    Would you ever consider doing a video about how you do a setup for a convention? I've applied for a booth at a convention next year, and I'm just curious about how I should go about things. Like, how many different photos should I have for sale, and how many prints should I make of each?

      Hey congrats on the convention booth! I actually made a video on this! The link is below! The website I mention for prints sells them in batches of 25 prints. I try to get as much of a variety of IP’s as possible to appeal to more customers. I hope the video helps, good luck!

    I have some really good ideas right now but the motivation to get out and do the shots is really my main problem (and kinda a regular problem in general). and am I the only one who's main issue with shooting outside the fact that you can't really see the screen of your phone/camera? like you take the picture and look at it once you get home only to find out it looks like crap.

      I definitely know the feeling of not being able to see the screen! Sometimes I’ll put my light reflector over my camera to give me some shade to see better. One of these days, just take one figure and your camera and go for that walk, even if you have to push yourself. Once you’re out there, you will be glad you went ☺️
