  • We received a suggestion of me taking Peters photo for a change and thought it could make an interesting video considering I am not a photographer. I started off super excited about the whole thing but started to get really nervous when it came time for the actual shoot - a feeling I'm sure is pretty common when you're just starting out as a photographer!

In the end she said, I don't know what you did differently today, but it was fun. I got the shot I wanted and that's all that matters. Thank you again. Have a lovely new week.

  • @DJKeo
    @DJKeo 3 года назад +8

    I think this underscores how important it is to have a good rapport with the model. I always talk to them and get general info before we start shooting like what music they want in the background. as for the shoot I know what lighting I'm using, where I want them to pose, what I want them to wear, I give them reference pictures for the look and feel.
    it helps so much and like Peter said you better know what you are doing and have a plan don't just show up and be as lost as the model is.

    Bec, you did pretty well and didn’t try to fake it at all. Peter knew what would happen and it was a fine learning moment for me, others too I’m sure. I hope you keep learning, you have the opportunity most of us would love to have. With practice, and your modelling background you should be able to become comfortable as a photographer in no time. And, thanks to Peter.
