Had a great time sitting down with Mitch and talking all things picture day prep - from getting cattle ready to the best approach to camera angle for content that builds confidence when showcasing your set!

If you’re preparing for a sale this fall or simply enjoy good cattle conversation, I highly recommend adding the Next Gen Cattle Podcast to your Spotify or Apple rotation!

This has been in the works since I went full time picturing last fall.

Picturing/videoing is a skill that can add so much value to a program & save lots of time/money if done in house.

As a one-man service based business owner, I knew I couldn’t serve every operation, but a rising tide lifts all boats & I’m so excited to watch breeders start to learn and use these skills.

Sale Photo Academy is a comprehensive, video course on all things sale photo/video. From gear, to pen layout, to editing - the difference really is in the details, & we lay it all out there.

This is just a glimpse of what we cover in the first few minutes of Chapter One: Pre-Picture Day Prep

The course is now LIVE at the link below. 🔥

What we’ve all been waiting for - Sale Photo Academy is officially LIVE!

Build the skills to elevate your operation’s online sale presence, establish bidder confidence, and give buyers more reasons to bid.

Sale Photo Academy was created for breeders who want to take more control over how their cattle are marketed. Instead of relying on someone else every time you need sale photos or video, you’ll learn the same practical skills and equipment used to picture livestock professionally - from preparing cattle and setting up the picture pen to camera settings, video, and final edits.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to have you join the academy and enjoy the flexibility of your own schedule this sale season.

One of the biggest questions I get about sale photography:

What camera do you use?

One of the highest priorities for me when building Sale Photo Academy was to put together the exact list of the equipment I personally use in the picture pen - saving you the headache and expense of buying the wrong lens, upgrading things you don’t actually need, or trying to piece together a setup based on conflicting recommendations online.

If you’re tackling picturing solo this fall, you’ll have an example of the exact gear that will help you achieve the best results.

Sale Photo Academy goes live TOMORROW, August 12 at 5 PM CT.

Sometimes it pays to DIY.

Are you getting ready to sell calves this fall? Struggling to find the right photographer? Not confident in your picture pen?

Planning & executing picture day can be one of the most stressful times for most operations, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

Sale Photo Academy is everything I wish I would’ve known years ago when I was in the same boat.

It’s set up to watch at your own pace, loaded with checklists, action templates & can be revisited year after year as a refresher.

Truly so excited to get this into the hands of breeders both large and small that are eager to tackle this skillset and add value to their own programs by keeping this part of the selling process in house.

Sale Photo Academy goes LIVE this Wednesday at 5pm CT on triedandtruephoto.com
