Preparation and Approach
Each photoshoot begins with careful preparation, though I often embrace spontaneity. I encourage models to wear clothes that make them feel comfortable and confident, enhancing the authenticity of each shot. Depending on the needs of the session, I might pack special items like a prism to experiment with light and reflections.
On Location
A typical photoshoot involves a leisurely walk with the model, usually through familiar or spontaneously chosen locations. This relaxed stroll helps us connect, making the photography session feel more like a conversation punctuated by snapshots. The initial half-hour is a warm-up phase, where we both get accustomed to the camera and the environment. Sharing early shots with models helps ensure their input is reflected as the session evolves, allowing adjustments in real-time based on their feedback.
Post-Production
My editing workflow is flexible, adapting to the unique demands of each shoot. I primarily use Adobe Lightroom for basic adjustments and Adobe Photoshop for detailed retouching. The selection process begins in Adobe Bridge, where I choose the images that best capture the essence of the shoot, followed by careful refinement to bring out the underlying emotions and details in each photo.
Inspiration
While I occasionally seek inspiration online, my shoots are largely influenced by the personalities and preferences of the models. This approach ensures that each photograph is a true reflection of their spirit and style, often leading to unexpected and uniquely personal results.
Challenges
Every photoshoot presents its own set of challenges, from adapting to changing light conditions to capturing the genuine expressions of my subjects. My solution often lies in maintaining a flexible, open-minded approach, allowing the natural dynamics of the shoot to guide the final outcome.
