Raw Transcript

by this point hopefully you’ve got to the point where you’ve got lots of photos that you’re proud of that you really want to share with other people and that’s where this section of the course comes in so what I’m not going to be covering is social media to any extent the reason is there are lots of resources out there for people who want to get into Instagram Facebook any sort of social media side of things and I think there the value of it is really obvious and like I said at the start of this course instagrams one of the most amazing places to consume this kind of content to see what’s going on and sharing your content on there is obviously part of that process but there are lots of other places where you can learn people who know a lot more about the ins and outs of social media than I do so what I’d like to focus on is more surf photography specific sharing of your images so that’s going to include having your images printed in magazines and it’s going to be printing your own surf images for various reasons and selling your images to other surfers who’ve been part of the session that you’ve been shooting and I think it’s going to kind of fill in the gaps where the more generic sharing on social media and things like that where they what they leave out this is what I’m going to cover in this course and hopefully for me it’s been the most rewarding part of my surf photography experiences making a print putting on my own wall or giving that as a gift to someone or just seeing someone experiencing my photos for the first time in physical form rather than on a computer or a phone or something like that it really does bring it home how different and how wild the experience of being in the surf is to someone who doesn’t surf I think that’s where this this part of the course will shine so take what you can from this one and if there’s anything that you’d like to see me add to this section then do let me know and I’ll see what I can do but I think this should cover the basics of getting your surf photos at your now very proud of out there – a few more people
