So much to learn! Banners, pictures, websites.....pdf's, links....I never I knew there was so much to this blogging thing. I'm not trying to be a blogger.
(Blogger are very cool people who are very clever with words and are great grammatical writers and even speakers. I'm not. I just want to be a photographer, and told I need to blog in order to have a market for my work. To shoot. That from blogging I will attract and repel, by design, clients. The right clients. People who see things the world similiary to me. If I repel you, that just means we wouldn't make a good business transaction anyways. And all the more so for an artistic relationship. So, that's my blog-orientation.) And, I love to start a sentence with, 'And'.
My husband just walked by, I saw him peek at my screen. I know what he's thinking. 'She's on the same screen she was hours ago. She's noodle-ing and waffle-ing. Ahh-gain.'
But does he say anything? Nope. Does he remind me I might be obsessive? Nope.
A couple minutes later a long arm reaches over with a toasted bagel on a tiny plate. The arm disappears as quickly as it appeared. I'm thrilled, num num. He smacks an audible air kiss and I hear it trail behind him as walks down the hall. That's the 'All Clear' sign we ping to each other in passing. It says different things, tonight it said, "I love you and it's totally fine that you've been on the computer for 16 hours, I hadn't noticed.'
Well, how many brownie points do you think he earned for those 5 minutes? Oh, baby, lots! And, no he doesn't read my blog. Which let's me know it's not good enough yet, because if this can keep his attention, then it's a 'Go'! (He has narcolepsy.)
So, focus!!! I know. I know. I'm noodling. I'm rolling the issues over and over in my head. The issues? Where was I? Ok, what is troubling me with this new 'business of photography'? Same ones; branding, who am I, whats my style?, etc. So, I need a tagline to put on my first printing of promotional material.
I want convey 3 things, ok more than 3 things: I don't know.
Well hell, the things clients have told me are always the same. (Wonderful things, but the same message.) They are always happy. I have never had anyone wish they hadn't done it, regretted it, only regretted not having done it sooner.
"I feel sooooo beautiful."
"I feel gorgeous.'
"I've never felt more beautiful."
"I'm so glad we have it captured forever. I will never look this good again." (not true, but often said.)
"I needed this so bad. I was feeling down on myself, but now I'm on a high."
"Finally I feel different, like me but better."
"Every woman needs to do this."
"It's better than a day at the spa."
"I've always wanted to do this but felt I was being selfish."
"My husband can't believe I did it. He's sooooo happy."
"You have a special gift and will go far."
"You are so talented."
"You are an amazing photographer."
"I never knew I could look so good."
"I feel like I'm in love with myself. Is that bad?"
Yes, good stuff but I need a tagline.
Words that describe Linifotto from others and from how I want to be projected:
Liberating
Magical
Powerful
Original
Unique
Fresh
Exciting
Fun
Colorful
Feminine
Gorgeous
Empowering
Celebratory
Exclusive
Unforgettable
Refined primalness
I want a certain vibe that says all the above through imagery and words.
"Linifotto, a new brand of photography for ladies who run with wolves and other creatures." (Okay, okay, it's a little cheezy, right? Is this too contrived? Too staged? Straining to be cool?)
"Linifotto, is a photographer, a brand, a vision, a feeling, an emotion a private artist.
"Be the muse for Linifotto and acquire a collection of fine art." Hmmmmm...that has some potential. It kinda goes along with the promo card 'Catch up on the charactures, become one..' thing kinda works.
Playing the idea of making videos that have fictional and imaginative narration. Which is a good idea but needs a lot of fleshing out.
She.
Is.
Inspiring.
Full Stop.
So, this is Lini in Floria. Good nite Inkernet.
Glod Bless
