Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area  Aurelie Graillot of www.aureliegraillot.com appeared on my radar after interviewing Steve Tepp from Rights Click, where we talked about all things copyright in episode 583. After the email introduction, I looked at her website and was blown away! This French-born, American-raised photographer describes herself as a still-life photographer, but I don't feel that description goes far enough. I would say commercial, advertising, beauty and cosmetics photographer who is an absolute master of photography, light, colour, composition and style. If you suffer from imposter syndrome as a photographer… do not visit Aurelie's website… her work is truly incredible. Aurelie’s insights are a goldmine for commercial, advertising, and branding photographers looking to build a sustainable, authentic career. Whether you're just starting out or already established, this interview offers real-world advice on everything from brand-building to adapting to a tech-driven world while balancing creativity, business, and life lessons from this super-talented commercial photographer.

You have to ask yourself, in the commercial world, what is the message that my client is trying to send out to the world, and I need to make sure that’s set or shown. – Aurelie Graillot In addition to everything above, you'll get access to instructions on forming or joining a MasterMind Group with other premium members.
