5 Questions with Olesha Haskett

This Saturday we have a treat for you.  Ever heard of Boudoir Photography?  Well our guest this week owns her own Oh! Boudoir Photography and has some of the most beautiful pictures of fierce women.  Once you see these pics you'll want to schedule a session.  Visit her website at www.OhExperience.com and check out her work.  But for now get to know her a little better with these 5 Questions.

1.  When did you first pick up a camera and knew you wanted to be a photographer?

I don’t believe there was ever this one time when I thought… hmm I want to be a photographer. When I was younger I wanted to be a chemical engineer, an entertainment lawyer, or a chef. My dad was always taking pictures of the family. I get my love for black and white photography from him. So I was always around cameras but not until high school did I think about being a photographer. I was my class photo historian.

2.  Favorite Fashion Magazine.

I rarely read fashion magazines, I must admit. My favorite magazines are USA Today, Newsweek, Time and AARP.  Don’t laugh I love the articles in AARP for some reason. I have an app on my phone called Pulse. I love it because I have the first, three magazines at my finger tips.


3.  Favorite Swag Song

My favorite swag song would have to be Waka Waka (this time for Africa) by Shakira featuring Freshly Ground

4.  If you were a camera which one would you be AND why?

I would be the camera I use now, D700. I just love that I can control everything in the camera.

5.  Pick your poision....Paris in the Summer or Bahamas in the Spring, which would you pick for the ultimate Boudoir shoot?

I would pick the BAHAMAS! I love love love the Caribbean. The sea, the sand,  and especially the food.

Well catch you on Saturday where The Divas will have a drink waiting for you and lots more dish on Boudoir Photography.  Olesha promises you'll feel more confident just after listening and viewing her website, and she has a special client that will be on to share too.  Her key element to bringing out the BEST in each client is to show them there is beauty in flaws.

{{CHEERS!!!}}

Tonight we had a very special guest with us in the studio, our good friend and one of Detroit's premiere photographers, Robyn Robinson owner of Robyn Robinson Photography (check out her website here). Robyn has enjoyed the art of photography for most of her life and began taking photographs professionally over the past 3 years. With a keen eye and photojournalistic flair, Robyn seeks to bring out that which is seldom seen and often overlooked.


Robyn offered our listeners some great tips to remember when looking for a photographer for your next event:

• Make sure that they have a professional apprearance. If they come to the initial meeting in jeans and gym shoes it may give the impression that they don't take their business seriously.
• Look out for anyone who wants all the money up front (this is a major red flag). Most professional photographers will require a deposit to secure the date of your event, with staggered payments until the final products is delivered.
• A good photographer will be able to show you samples of his/her work. If they have no samples to show you then walk away.
• Also a look for certifications and memberships in professional organizations - this is a sign that they take their profession seriously. To professional organizations that they may belong to are Professional Professional Photographers of America (PPA), and Wedding & Portriat Photographers International (WPPI).

If you are in the Detroit area feel free to contact Robyn @ (248) 794-7010 or you can email her here.

Robyn thank you again for chatting with us tonight and we invite you to come back anytime to chat with us.
