10 Benefits of a Content Day

Being a photographer isn’t only about photoshoots and editing. Sometimes, we need to mix things up! If you’re looking for a way to add some variety to your day-to-day as a photographer, I suggest you find a Content Day to participate in! A Content Day is an event where photographers gather and practice their art–without the hassle of scheduling models, finding locations, and securing props (that’s all done for you!). If that’s not enough to convince you to participate, here are 10 benefits of attending a Content Day!

1. Hands-On Practice

Photography is an art, and like any artist, we need to practice! Do you have new techniques or poses you want to try? A Content Day is the place for you to practice without any client pressure!

2. Gain Confidence

With practice comes confidence! The more confident you are, the better experience you will be able to provide for your clients. 

3. Portfolio Building

Building your portfolio is a must, whether you’re just starting as a photographer or you’ve been doing this for a decade. A content day allows you to take a huge variety of photos that represent what you offer as a photographer.

4. Curated Content 

One of the main goals of a Content Day is to give photographers a variety of models and setups to work with. This means that all the work is done for you–designing backdrops, finding models, picking out the perfect props. All you need to do is show up ready to do your thing!

5. Creative Inspiration

A Content Day will have a variety of models, backdrops, and props–everything you need to fuel your creativity! Most likely, there will be a few setups that you wouldn’t have come up with on your own–and that’s the point!

6. Create Batch Content

At a Content Day, you’ll be able to take both photo and video content (and having a lot of content is so important for those socials!). Plus, there will be plenty of other people there to help take behind-the-scenes footage!

7. Learn From Others 

The cool thing about a Content Day is that you will be surrounded by other fabulously creative individuals! You’ll learn new poses, shooting tips, and ways to use props. The best way to learn is from each other!

8. Networking Opportunities

One of the biggest perks of a Content Day is that you’re surrounded by other awesome entrepreneurs. Being a business owner is hard work but having a solid network can make the job less stressful–and we all need less stress in our lives!

9. Cost Effective

In just a couple of hours, you’ll have a huge variety of photos. If you were to plan individual photoshoots to get the same variety, it would be wayyy more expensive–and time-consuming! And we entrepreneurs know that time is valuable!

10. Fun and Supportive Community

A Content Day is an excuse to hang out with a bunch of really awesome people. There are dance parties, laughter, and all-around good times. Because we cheer for each other.
