What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
The secret to taking a great photograph often lies in capturing candid moments of pure happiness that tell a compelling story. Candid shots, where people are genuinely themselves and not posing, can reveal genuine emotions and authentic moments. Ultimately, the key is to capture the magic and emotion of the moment, allowing the photo to speak for itself and tell a unique story.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
It's essential to gather information from a new client to ensure a successful photoshoot, like:
What are your must-have shots or specific images you envision for this project?
What are your expectations in terms of the overall style, mood, and tone of the photographs?
Are there any particular dynamics or relationships among subjects that I should be aware of to capture the essence of the project accurately?
Do you have any location preferences or specific props you'd like to incorporate into the photos?
By asking these questions, you can better understand the client's vision, meet their expectations, and prepare effectively to deliver the results they are paying for.
What do you love most about your job?
What I love most about my job is the opportunity to meet new people and immerse myself in a variety of experiences. Interacting with different individuals and witnessing their unique stories and moments is incredibly rewarding. Additionally, there's a special sense of satisfaction that comes from completing a gallery of photographs and sharing it with the client, eagerly anticipating their reaction and hoping that they appreciate and value my work. It's the combination of human connection and the sense of accomplishment that makes this job truly fulfilling.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was inspired to start my own business because of my deep passion for storytelling. Having spent 12 years as a film critic, I developed a profound appreciation for the art of storytelling through visual mediums. In 2017, I discovered my love for still photography, and it became a natural progression from there. I began my journey with a DSLR camera seven years ago, and over time, I transitioned to mirrorless technology. The continuous learning and growth in this field, along with my desire to capture and convey powerful stories through photography, motivated me to start my own business and share my unique perspective with others.
