For Photographers

Mentoring

I'm so happy to have launched one-on-one Mentor Sessions With Christine; a full day workshop where we eat, shoot, learn, converse, edit, organise, and photographsise! Designed for photographers who are just starting out, our day covers everything from building a brand, developing methods to start your business, learning how to photograph children + families or couples, challenging yourself to tap into your inner creativity, grasping a better understanding of Photoshop and Lightroom, and mastering your workflow!

We'll start the day off at my home studio, spend the afternoon in a field of loveliness where there will be a gorgeous family or couple modelling for us! We conclude our day going over post-processing, and an hour's worth of Q+A. All you'll need is your camera + computer! Stationary + brunch + snacks + afternoon tea are all taken care of!

These one-on-one mentor sessions are $1695 for the day, which includes all of the above, as well as headshots for you and your business site (everyone needs a good headshot!). I also offer a follow up post-mentor session consultation for all the questions you think of after the day.

Workshops

I'm so excited to have launched POBKE MAGIC, my first business + shooting workshop series!

Pobke Magic is a comprehensive and intimate (capped at 12) one day workshop aimed at photographers seeking to develop their existing portrait + wedding photography businesses. It’s a workshop that provides an overview of the craft and the business of photography, from the fundamentals of shooting + interacting with your clients, to pricing, marketing + growing your business.

We’ll cover business topics such as:

- The importance of marketing + brand management and how to make social media work for you
- Pricing psychology (with examples from my own collections)
- Client expectations and a run through from the shoot to the sale
- How to interact with clients, shoot, edit and make the most of your workflow
- Being productive and making the best use of your time
- Balancing family and work and you

There will be a no holds barred Q+A to go over all of your questions to finish off the day.

Workshops are a beautiful way of exploring all areas of your business, and it will, no doubt, instigate a number of questions when you get home. For this reason, following the Pobke Magic workshop, you’ll be entitled to a 30 minute one-on-one follow up Skype session. This isn’t mandatory; it’s simply for those who want a bit more time asking questions they couldn’t ask during the workshop, or one they just thought of when they got home!

The FIVE Pobke Magic workshops for 2011/2012 were held in Canberra, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide, and have all sold out. NEW dates have been released,so please visit the Pobke Magic website for more up-to-date information.
