Client: V-Flat World
V-Flat World produces and sells the most versatile light modifer on the market for photographers, videographers, and cinematographers. Their namesake, the V-Flat, has been called “the swiss army knife of light modifiers.” I know, because I created that tagline. #patontheback #winning How’s that for creative, succinct copywriting to get the message across quickly?
I’ve written educational photography articles, product descriptions, YouTube descriptions, and taglines for V-Flat World. Foster your creativity and learn more about the world of v-flats and lighting. Peruse my work below and round out your photography education. (For a quick read in list form, you can find all my published writing for V-Flat World here.)
But first! Here’s an appreciative voice text from V-Flat World founder, Tuvy, after I sent him a google doc filled with clever and witty taglines for his business. Received in July 2022, this is NOT AI-generated. I simply took his original voice text and added it over a visual with captions. Super thoughtful of him to send.
In today’s busy pace, I truly appreciate the time he took to send a quick note of thanks.
Aww. Check out this comment left on an article I wrote entitled, “Top 10 Best Tips and Tricks for Food Photography”
“The Swiff Army Knife of Light Modifiers” I wrote that! And it thrills me that V-Flat World still uses it on their site years after I came up with that line. Looove it.
