EXCLUSIVE BTS: The April 5th Vlog FT. TrayVisuals (Patreon)

🎥 VLOG RECAP: Shadow Day, Hat Talk, & Big Vibes

🧢 Certified Shooters Update

• Showing off the fit: toes out, arms out—“looking real Floridian”

• New hat colors dropping soon – fan-favorite is the tan & gold
  → Planning to go hard with promo after grass season

• Patreon members (Certified Shooters community) get hats at manufacturer price ($20 vs $50-60)

“If you really f*ck with it, wait till May. That’s when I’m pushing everything.”

🎥 Vlog Style Shift

• Stretch wants to get back to raw vlogging, not just showing up with cameras rolling.

• Going handheld again, sharing the process, not just the polished parts.

“Y’all deserve some vlog style content… that’s what I’m trying to base my sh*t on anyway.”

🎓 Shoot Day Rundown

• Linked up with Trey, a Certified Shooter member, shadowing for the day

• KD behind the camera 📸

• Shoots included:

  • Library shots w/ props (evidence bag, books, caution tape)

  • Classic studio session

  • Outdoor/grass-style graduation photos

Stretch’s direction was on point — every angle covered: wide, medium, close. Clean posing tips throughout.

“Switching up the angles always works… You want to get a close, medium, and a long shot.”

🔥 Trey's Takeaways

• Came to learn from Stretch’s lighting, composition, posing, and communication

• Sees his own superpower as “communication & posing”

“Communication can save a nation.”

🗣️ Motivational Moments

• “You are enough… the world is a better place with you in it.”

• “Never give up on your dream. Keep praying, keep pushing.”

• “Brush your damn teeth.” 😂

“Can’t be in people’s face with smelly breath, bro.”

🎯 Client Game: Real Talk

• Clients don’t care about all the extras—they just want clean, quality photos

• Big emphasis on prep – outfits, posing, communication

“As long as you prepare ‘em, the sh*t goes smooth.”

📸 Pro Tip Stack

• Always include:

  • Client info & prep guides on your booking site

  • Pose boards (Pinterest works)

  • Bare bulb flash = stay far back

• Let the clients get creative and focus on executing their ideas cleanly

• Be flexible, shoot from all angles, and keep the energy up

🧼 Final Words

“Get your muscle up… and brush your teeth.”
