Season 6 will get back to the basics of our craft. We'll debate the best tools, materials, and techniques to use when making paper flowers. At the end of the day, we're here because of paper flowers. On this podcast, we've talked about a wide variety of subjects to support paper florists on their journeys. For Season 6, we're getting back to the heart of the matter: the actual paper flowers! In our latest episode of Paper Talk, we gave a sneak peek at what we'll be discussing in Season 6. What we're most excited about is getting more opinions from people like you! We want to know which tools and materials you prefer and why. We want guests who disagree with us. As Jessie explained: “It's going to be a really interesting season. We're used to using what we like, using what we've always used. But there's so many other ways of making paper flowers, and so many other situations as well.” -Jessie Chui Be sure to join our Facebook group where we'll be posting polls about which techniques and materials you prefer, and please email us at info@papertalkpodcast.com if there is a topic you are super passionate about. We'd love to have you on the podcast as a guest! Here's what you'll learn when you listen to our conversation: ► Some of the topics we'll discuss in Season 6. ► Why the variety of opinions we include on the podcast is so valuable. ► How to build a creative business that's manageable. ► Why it's okay to make your own rules for marketing. To get you started thinking about your opinions, here's a peek at some of the topics we discussed on the episode. Which Crepe Paper Is Best? Back in the day when we got started in the paper flower world, crepe options were limited. Now crepe paper is more available and more varied than ever before. Do you prefer Italian or German? Do you love Chinese crepe? Which weights do you go back to over and over again, and why? We already know our answers to these questions, but we want to learn from you! There aren't right or wrong answers. Which Glue Should I Use? Jessie shared in the episode about her experience using three different types of Aleene's Tacky Glue at her recent workshop. One of the attendees had poor eyesight and couldn't see where she was applying the clear glue. This is the sort of situation that we hadn't thought about before. This is why we want to have more guests on the podcast to share their experiences and preferences. Again, there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer here. We want to bring you as much information as possible so that you can make the right choice for you. “One of things that we really love about our platform is that we're very sharing. We want to share as many tips and advice as possible to grow you as an artist, to expand your tools and knowledge for how to make better paper flowers.” -Quynh Nguyen Which Camera Should I Buy? When it comes to sharing images of your paper flowers, there are a ton of options. Many of us start out snapping pics with our phones, which is great. Some photos are better than no photos. But if you're looking to up your picture game, investing in a professional camera is something that many paper florists do. Your creations are beautiful; you want to showcase them in the best light possible. For those of you who have taken that step, do you love your camera? Do you swear by Nikon? Are you Canon all the way? Email us if you're passionate about your camera! (For tips on photographing your products, check out our archives! Episode 60 with Caroline Tran is a great place to start.) ________________________________________________________________ We'll cover all of this and more in Season 6 of Paper Talk, so stay tuned!

Quynh first got to know Caroline Tran of Caroline Tran Photography when the photographer shot her sister's wedding a few years back. Fast forward to today and Caroline and Quynh are frequent collaborators on many projects together across the United States from workshops to photography sessions. She, along with Kelly Lemon, was one of the photography instructors at The Paper Florists Collective Masterclass in Seattle back in April 2019. Caroline first got her feet wet in photography when pursuing a creative side hustle. Eventually, she discovered that her ultimate love was photography. Known for her airy and bright style and her ability to create beautiful images of intimacy, Caroline is based in Los Angeles, California. Listen to Caroline as she describes how her creative side hustle turned into a business, how she stays inspired, and her decision to offer online education. First, let's get to know Caroline: 1. Who is Caroline Tran? I am a Los Angeles-based photographer who is constantly working on the art of balancing running a photography business and being a mom to two young boys. I started in weddings and portraits, and have since expanded into content creation, branding, and commercial photography. I have also started to offer online education as well to help creatives run a successful business. 2. How did you get started in photography? I always knew I wanted to own a creative business. While doing market research for one of my businesses (I was designing and sewing doll clothes), I realized that brands with better photography were able to charge up to 100 times more! While learning how to better photograph my designs, I found my love for photography. I started photographing my co-worker's children and my friends after work for fun, as a hobby and that's how I started my portfolio. 3. Tell us about your photography business, Caroline Tran Photography. What I love most about what I do is that I become my client's lifelong photographer. I photograph them from engagement to wedding to babies, and for the past few years, I have also started to do more commercial work, including content creation for brands, and branding/lifestyle shots for people's personal brands as well. I love telling stories so these are all so much fun for me. 4. How would you define your style? How did you find your artistic style? How has your style evolved to what it is today? My photos tell stories. They're romantic, emotional, and freezes a person's legacy. I found my voice when I stopped comparing myself to others… when I stopped doing what I THOUGHT I was supposed to do (based on what everyone else was doing) and allowed myself to do what I FELT. I eventually attracted more people who connected with what I did, which further strengthen my voice. 5. What are some of the challenges you've faced during your career as a photographer and as an entrepreneur? Growing pains… everything works until it doesn't. For example, if I up my game in marketing and get more leads, I might not be able to keep up with the increased volume and become susceptible to unhappy clients. So many growing pains, but it's a good problem to have. 6. How have you made yourself stand out in the crowd of other photographers? By not looking at what others are doing and just focusing on my own art. 7. Give us one tip that would improve our images/photos of our paper flowers. LIGHT! LIGHT! LIGHT! Bad light is bad light! You can't fix bad light later. Use good light to take the photo and you'll be more than halfway there. You can read more tips on lighting on my website: https://carolinetran.net/photography-tips-for-perfect-indoor-lighting/ 8. Tell us about how you got into teaching photography. Backtrack a few years, the inspiration for where I came up with education. I used to be a high school teacher, so that's where my educational background is from. I love mentoring, inspiring, and helping people in general. I left teaching to pursue photography. When I started photography, I used to have small cohorts where we would meet up at industry events over the years. One thing that occurred to me was year after year, I would need to form new groups because many of my colleagues were no longer in the business anymore. I started teaching photography and education to help others to succeed.

On July 10, Mixed Company partnered with Group M to engage the 2019 MAIP class in a candid conversation to answer some important questions. Why is diversity such a difficult conversation at work? Where does the discomfort come from? What does it feel like to be a person of multicultural background in a less diverse space and how can you navigate these situations? Listen in as Kai Deveraux Lawson, Meb Francisco, Kristin Parris, Porscha Scott, Emiliano Zapata, and Caroline Tran discuss their experiences as people of color in advertising and media.
For many of us looking to get established in the photography, or really any creative industry, two of the biggest struggles are finding enough time to hone our craft while balancing the rest of our lives, and knowing when the time is right to make the leap into full-time creative work. LA wedding and lifestyle photographer Caroline Tran began as a physics teacher, and after years of being creatively drained, she decided to make the switch to photographer. Her work can be seen internationally in print and online, and is centered around passion and playfulness. Juggling kids, starting and maintaining a business and staying sane can be a juggling act, one that Caroline knows well and is more than qualified to share some tips and advice on. Caroline gives us some insight into how to transition from a 9-5 by setting concrete goals, playing off your individuality and educating your clients. She focuses on building a business to fit into your lifestyle, not the other way around. By starting your business from within and marketing yourself in the right way, Caroline helps remind us of the passion for photography that we all share. Are you currently trying to make the transition into full-time creative work? What's holding you back? If you already have made the leap, how did you know when the time was right to do so? Let us know in the comments on the episode page! IN THIS EPISODE: How to create hype around your products Marketing yourself as ‘one of a kind' Lessons for anyone in their first few years of their photography business The importance of passion and exclusivity QUOTES: “If you market yourself as the artist there will never be any other competition, you are the only one.” 7:30 “When I started this business the first thing I did was [figure out] who my target audience is, what I was trying to do, how I was trying to market myself. And I think I just had a lot clearer vision coming into this business.” 13:15 “One of the most liberating things as an artist is to remind yourself that you don't have to please everybody. The quickest way to not please anybody is by trying to please everybody. Because you are not going to be able to please everybody, so once you give yourself permission to not have to please everybody you can start creating without fear.” 18:36 “Each milestone in your life demands of you a little bit differently. So being realistic about that and setting your yearly goals for that purpose [is key]” 30:19 RESOURCES: Caroline Tran's Website Follow Caroline on Instagram | Pinterest | Twitter | Facebook Check out the full show notes page here Keep up with everything ARC here Follow ARC on Instagram | Facebook | Twitter Join us for The Experience In Vancouver
