[READ PLEASE: UPDATE] Mary Saotome Implied: Upgrade of the sets and edits. (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

Lately I faced some issues with my sets making me rather unhappy about the result. Or more like, I felt unsatisfied. Even tho it wasn't that bad, it wasn't that great to me either.

There is nothing worst than stagnating in your work. I've been trying to upgrade the photography gear but we couldn't get anywhere.

Today I finally had that photoshop lesson I was waiting for. It's only the first one and next month I will visit my photographer friend in Paris to get more lessons!

You need to know that the amount of pics in each set will be diminished. What will change?

- Sets will now be 25-35 pics MAX, but only because I'm going to now pick one pic out of the several "same poses" with slightly different features (Arms, head looking the other way). The goal in 2020 is to have a very different pose on each photo. Usually I'd give both because I couldn't choose my favorite but the differences are so slight I think it wont be worth putting more time in editing them.

- The editing will change. Heavier, but still subtle. I have been losing texture on some pics due to my skills being limited.

- We had a LOT of focus issues with the camera. A lot of pics felt "off" and blurry on some parts. Finally last week we had it figured out and fixed. I keep remembering that in the end, I never had any modeling lessons, I learned everything alone, but so did my hubby about photography. I consider us to still be sorta "amateurs" in the matter.  Improvement comes with a lot of time, and I believe we're on the right way.

- Selfies/gifs/clips will be unchanged. What might change is simply the view from which those medias are taken (Not specially all of them will be taken with a selfie stick BUT all of them will be taken with my phone). I bought a tripod for my phone with a little controller to actually have more possibilities in front of the camera: I can use both my arms, be standing futher, etc!

- Calendar will be available for pre-order by next week!

Overall, I think I'm going for more progress. I feel relieved to finally improve and have more possibilities opening up. I want each photo to be very special and nice, instead of 50 pics per set including 3 money shots.

I hope you'll enjoy next month, as I'll do my best to have my content stepping up! Even tho it might still take 2-3 months to actually get used to it and show the real potential from what I'm currently learning.

Thank you everyone ♥
