Hi, Vickie Siculiano here, Say Wow Marketing. Today, I just want to use my time in front
of this video camera which is a web cam not my pride and joy, my Canon T4i. But wanted
to do a testimonial for Unique Photo in Fairfield, New Jersey. This has been a long-time coming
I'm shooting this for you. I just want to share how they changed my life. They gave
me an education in photography. I had no knowledge really of light and F stops and all kind of
this technical stuff when it comes to photography. But now, that I went to their university and
talked to all of the staff on their team including the President, Matthew Sweetwood who's totally
so social, uber social. It's really great. They opened their arms and I'm going to show
you some of the stuff that I picked up and I actually use almost every day. Okay. Depending
on my need for photography and I am a marketer. So I have a need to make sure that all of
my photos are selling an idea, maybe selling a product, getting somebody to be interested
enough to take an action. That's my need for photography.
But I also now have this awesome hobby and I'm in love with light. I'm always seeking
out all light so I can get the best shots. This is light in my studio here, is a Westcott
light that I actually bought after I went to their annual Unique Photo Expo which they
have all kinds of photography classes and workshops and it's really awesome. They have
experts from all over the world that come. So this one is a Westcott Lightbox and I really
didn't have anything for this room, so if I'm a little bright today, you'll know why.
But you use what you got. Okay. This is my first lens that I bought. Actually, it's a
7300 and it's a telephoto lens. Okay. Not only did I say, "Which lens would be best
for me?" But they talked to me about my needs for and made sure that it was the right one.
This one I was going on a trip to Alcatraz and I learned as I'm always learning more
about photography. It's never ending hobby and part of your career if you're someone
like me that needs to take photographs for my work.
This is a 10-22 lens. I totally had no idea about wide-angle lenses and I don't just use
it for work. I use it for hobby, so when I went on my trip to Alcatraz I took this lens
and it had made some awesome shots of the inside of the prison and I would have never
got those without a wide angle lens. Wide angle doesn't mean that it has to be wide,
it can also be tall. The prison cell from the inside looked like they went on forever.
It was awesome. Rick Gerrity, one of my photography instructors, gave me that pointer, so I completely
appreciate that. Also, I went to a Canon workshop there. I mean, where are you going to be able
to do this kind of stuff if you live in New Jersey like me. I'm in northern New Jersey,
so they're right here in town. It's great to have a question. I go on their Facebook
page, maybe ask a question on Twitter. It's great. They're always there for you and it
all started with this. This is my Canon T4i. I also shoot HD video
with it. I couldn't shoot this today because this is right before work, so when I go to
my job, I'm going to be using this to do an HD video of my boss, so I have the quick-release
plate on here for my other tripod that's at work. I just want to make sure that I will
be in and out of here quick. It's about 8:15, I've got to be there at 8:30. Nothing like
work in seven minutes from home. Anyway, just wanted to give this shout out to Unique Photo.
Totally appreciate all that you've given me. Changed my life, not just personally, but
also for my career. Now, I get to help others with getting great photos and showing them
how to market themselves, building web sites. I mean, I never would have thought that this
would have turned out like it did, but you really gave me something to sink my teeth
into and build my career, so I appreciate you. Matthew Sweetwood, Michael Downey, Rick
Gerrity. All the guys over there at Unique Photo doing a great job. Thanks so much.
