Meeting the needs of clients is the most important thing, but it can also express ideality in every work that we produce.
When photographing people or models, what are your approaches
For prewedding and wedding shoots where most of the clients are ordinary people who are not models and even a lot of awkward in front of the camera, the approach by being their friend becomes very important. Thus, they can feel more comfortable when dealing with us during the photo shoot. Technical maturity is also very much needed, because the moment moves very quickly. So. Continuous learning is very important so that technical matters are no longer an issue when faced with a photo shoot
What message do you want to convey through your photos
Good work involves not only composition and technical maturity with the right exposure, but also a strong mood and emotion that we can incorporate into it.
