Behind the lens: How to snap photos and videos that make business stories shine

High-quality photos and video can make stories sing online and in print, but in business journalism, coming up with great art can be a challenge. SABEW’s next training session will give you ideas about how to break beyond the standard ‘CEO at a desk’ shots and bring new life to business photography. Mitchell Masilun, an Arkansas-based editorial photographer and multimedia specialist, will lead SABEW members through this one-hour webinar. He’ll talk about things to do before, during and after the shoot and review easy techniques for creating better images. Mitchell will also share tips for shooting and editing video on an iPhone.
