It’s also important to listen to your client’s feedback.
This after all, is about their product and their goals. It’s crucial to stay
on track of the project. If you budget for one day and expect to finish
in one day, then it’s critical you do so. Being in control of the set is
also part of the photographer’s job – the safety, conduct and comfort
of everyone is vital to making the shoot a smooth one.
Although transitioning from a hobbyist to a professional
photographer was a huge step into the unknown, it’s brought me
nothing but satisfaction. I love what I do. There’s an immense
sense of joy,pride and gratification when I see my work in print, in
advertisements, packaging and knowing that I came from a place
where only years before I knew nothing of the trade. When clients
“ooh” and “aah” at my photos, it’s a huge sense of fulfilment to know
I brought their vision to life. With a bit of passion and drive, it’s within
anyone’s reach to become a professional photographer. Don’t forget
to love what you do and do what you love.
And finally, the answer to the question at the start of the
story – I sometimes do get to eat the food I shoot ☺. That’s a wrap!
