What do you love about your job?

I love my photography job for so many reasons. Firstly, it allows me to freeze moments in time, capturing the beauty, emotions, and stories that unfold in front of my lens. Every photo is a unique piece of art and a testament to the richness of human experiences.

Secondly, my photography job gives me the opportunity to connect with people from all walks of life. Whether I'm shooting portraits, events, or candid street scenes, I get to interact with individuals, hear their stories, and create a visual narrative that reflects their essence.

Additionally, I appreciate the creative freedom that comes with being a photographer. I can experiment with various styles, techniques, and subjects, pushing the boundaries of my artistry. It's a constant journey of growth and self-expression.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

In my experience as a portrait photographer, I've had the opportunity to work on various types of portrait shoots, each requiring a unique approach to make them special. Here are a few examples:

Traditional Portraits: To make traditional portrait shoots special, I focus on creating a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere for the subject. I engage in conversations, get to know them, and establish a connection to bring out their genuine personality. This genuine connection often results in authentic and special portraits.

Environmental Portraits: When capturing environmental portraits, I pay close attention to the subject's surroundings. I look for locations that hold personal significance to the subject, which adds depth and meaning to the images. It's about telling their story through the setting.

Lifestyle Portraits: For lifestyle portraits, I encourage natural interactions and emotions. I don't over-direct the subjects but instead create a relaxed environment where they can be themselves. Capturing genuine moments and expressions is the key to making these shoots special.

Family Portraits: Family portraits are often about capturing the connections and dynamics within the family. I ensure that everyone feels included and comfortable, and I focus on the interactions between family members. These interactions and emotions are what make these portraits special.

Maternity and Newborn Portraits: To make these shoots special, I use props and lighting that emphasize the significance of the occasion. I focus on the emotional connection between the parents and the unborn child or the precious moments with a newborn.

Couples and Engagement Portraits: These shoots are all about celebrating love and connection. I choose romantic locations and lighting to set the mood. Encouraging intimate moments and expressions between the couple is what makes these portraits special.

In all of these portrait shoots, what truly makes them special is the combination of technical skill and an empathetic, personal touch. Establishing a connection with the subject, creating a comfortable environment, and capturing genuine emotions and interactions are the key ingredients in crafting portraits that are unique, meaningful, and truly special.
