541: Louise Sedgman – The business of equine photography and bookings via expos

Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area. Louise Sedgman of  www.giddyupfoto.com and www.thefotocreative.com.au initially caught my attention when she responded to a thread in the PhotobizX Premium Members group on generating leads at events. She posted that she'd just attended Equitana for four days. She had a site there with her photography work on display, a competition running with QR code, and lots of products on display and overall, it was very successful. I did a little more digging to learn this photographer is a mum of two beautiful girls, a wife, a businesswoman, a daughter, a horsewoman, and her favourite thing in the world is photographing horses! She's won many awards in the last 15 years for her work, and it's no wonder! Look at her online portfolio, and you will see some incredible and beautiful photography featuring the Aussie outdoors, fantastic light and amazing horses with and without their owners. In addition to her photography business, she teaches, tutors and coaches other horse lovers looking to learn the art of equine photography. In this interview, Louise shares details on the business of equine photography and generating bookings via equine expos.
