| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, it's Eric Taylor, founder of Salon Republic. |
| 0:04.0 | And in this episode of the Hair Game, we continue our conversation with Andrew does hair, but |
| 0:08.5 | we focus on photography, how to pose your client, how to use lighting, what kind of equipment |
| 0:14.0 | to use. |
| 0:15.0 | I hope you enjoy it. |
| 0:16.2 | Okay. |
| 0:18.2 | So now the question is, how does a a hairdresser in the salon take the best possible picture of their client, |
| 0:26.6 | which of course is going to be their portfolio on Instagram, is going to help them clients and help with their business. |
| 0:32.6 | So you know so much about this. So here we are with a lot of natural light in this studio. So what |

| 1:17.7 | So the transition from a highlight to a shallow is a lot smoother. |
| 1:22.3 | It's like they're like diffusers. |
| 1:23.9 | Yeah, it's exactly. |
| 1:24.9 | Like these things are brilliant for that. |
| 1:27.3 | So with photography, it's more about the lighting than anything else. |
| 1:31.3 | Like literally you're recording light. You're recording light as it exists there. |
| 1:34.3 | It doesn't matter if using an iPhone or Android or phone sorts or a DSLR, it's all about the light. |
