So this post isn’t about the merits of Jasmine Star’s work. Those of you who follow photographers have undoubtedly heard of this celebrity photographer. She’s made a meteoric rise in popularity since she’s started. Some people love her, some people hate her. Some people would love to be her, some people would do things quite differently than her. All of that is ok. Personally, I shoot and edit in a very different style than her, but she is successful for a reason. Granted, I probably have some different ideas of what it means to be “successful” as well, but I think that she has some very valid and valuable experiences to speak from.

Today (and these next few days), she will be talking through pretty much every aspect of her business. In fact, on Friday, she’s taking the web audience live to one of her client’s weddings. What they’re doing at CreativeLive is neat. For many new photographers out there, this is a simply invaluable experience to hear from someone who has become quite popular as a wedding photographer. She touches on things like being real, brand management, what she shoots with, blogging, and on and on. These are things that you would generally have to pay hundreds of dollars to see or hear from a seminar or workshop. Even for seasoned wedding photographers, there’s always something you can learn from someone else, something that’ll give you a different perspective. In this day and age, change is what keeps you alive. Creativity requires pushing oneself. Stagnation is a business killer.
