Ep. 201 - In this episode of In Studio, Kimberly Lovi sits down with her "creative secret weapon," Shannon Laurine. Shannon is the lead photographer at Iconic Nation Media, but her journey started far from the lens. From growing up on the sets of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air to battling Lupus and returning to finish her degree 15 years later, Shannon's story is one of resilience and raw talent. They dive deep into what it actually takes to build an iconic brand, the "dirty" secret of high-end photo retouching, and why volume is king in the world of social media content. Whether you're a budding entrepreneur or an established creator, Shannon's insights on "holding space" for clients and curating a consistent visual vibe are a masterclass in modern branding.
