You have told yourself more than once that you are not photogenic.
Any photo shoot ends with upset feelings. There are a lot of photographers around, but there is no confidence in the result of the photo shoot. And you really want a new avatar and beautiful photos in your album. Sound familiar?
Read this article to the end and you will find out what to do to find a good photographer and as a result of the photo shoot get photos in which you like yourself!
During my fourteen years of practice as a photographer, I have heard many opinions of clients about themselves, but the statement “I am not photogenic” is the most common.
However, no matter what we think about ourselves, it does not mean that this is actually the case)
Photography is a “science” showing the world as it is! Have you noticed? You really liked something in the city, for example, old doors. You photographed them on your smartphone. Look, and in the photo there is a gray city and old doors on a gray house. What I mean is this. Our perception is designed in such a way that it snatches some details from the "landscape". And focuses on them. And we see everything completely different in the same landscape. That's how a girl looking at her portrait sees only her long (in her opinion) nose and does not look at the picture as a whole.
It all depends on the angle of view! A photographer, like an artist, paints a picture with a camera. And how exactly he "paints" the photograph, with what emotion and from what angle he presents it to the viewer, that's how we will perceive it.
A professional photographer is someone who knows how to boldly manipulate his tools - camera and light, work with a model. To show the pros, hide the cons and convey the individuality and characteristics of the client. This is an artistic gift, psychology, aesthetic perception of the world and excellent technical mastery of his tools.
The master will always find a way to show you from the winning side. That is the difference between a professional and an amateur. And each artist paints in his own unique style. So it is in photography. A few simple rules on how to get the photos you dream of from a photographer.
Pay attention to the photographer's portfolio, the manner in which he shoots. How he conveys the emotions of the models. How his photos are presented (processed). If you are hooked, then this is your photographer. Feel free to call!
If you tell the photographer what exactly you liked in his portfolio, he will definitely know what will suit you best. Trust my experience, it works. And after a short conversation, he will know how to express your individuality in photos.
And most importantly. If you have already gone through the previous points, and the day of the photo shoot is set - trust the professional, trust yourself in your choice and get the most out of the shoot.
Feel like an actress or actor and enjoy the shoot.
As always, I will be glad to receive your comments and answer your questions.
