I usually use the month of January to reassess things in my business. My mistakes, areas for growth, ways to improve. I'll be the first to admit I get quite hard on myself, but self-deprecation motivates me. Hey, Thunder Thighs, run the extra mile for the cup of cereal you ate last night, is a fully acceptable form of motivation. While talking myself down is easy, finding ways to move forward, fix, and amend my past is so much harder. Especially because I'm easily distracted.
Oooh, something sparkly!
One of the first changes in 2010 is redesigning a few elements of my website. I've been inspired by the following photographers and I know it's time to shake things up because they're doing a fabulous job at being completely unique and designed a website reflected of their individuality.
All of the following websites were created using Showit and I'm blown away at how each website is completely their own…
Promise Tangeman
This is site is so sick. It's like walking into Urban Outfitters. Only better. Promise is a photographer, but she definitely doesn't put herself in that box. She's an artist. She creates things. And her site shows off her best.
The Shot Shot
Want to see a site that takes portraiture to a new, hip, and slick heights? Check out The Shot Shot. This site showcases the buzz around their work, the perks, the hype…as well as feature some pretty awesome photos to boot!
Christianne Taylor
I met Christieanne a few months ago and she's taking the fashion photo world and making it her own. Her eye, portfolio, and determination have set her apart from the beginning. Christieanne styles her own shoots, often makes the clothing, and works with model agencies in Los Angeles to create her work. Her site is truly reflective of her growing voice.
Kara Layne
I was immediately struck with the simplicity and ease of Kara's site. It does a great job taking passive viewers and engaging them in a way that brings them into her sphere. Her bio was sincere and can make a complete stranger (like myself) want to reach out and invite her for coffee. Or Sprinkles Cupcakes!
I'm looking forward to revamping my site with Showit and starting off 2010 in a way that makes me hungry to further define who I am on the web. I encourage you to do the same…
