I am passionate about my craft, and I love having the opportunity to sit down with people and talk about my journey with photography.
I am excited to share an interview that I did a few years ago with Cherokee Business Radio. I had the chance to sit down with Sharon Cline and discuss my photography beginnings, how I have developed into the photographer that I am today, and what continues to motivate me everyday to pursue my career.
One of my favorite questions Sharon asked was "So when you say that you asked people to do headshots and you randomly found some people, how did you know how to kind of make a web, a headshot that was specific enough or good enough to be marketable?"
"So, when I look at someone, I want to make them proud of who they are and make them see the hero that I see in them. The thing with and the thing about a headshot, it needs to stand out. So yeah, you can pull out an iPhone, you can anybody can take a headshot. But to make it unique and eye catching, because the human eye, the first impression is like nanoseconds. So, you want to have someone stop just long enough to read your resume or to read your bio? If your headshot looks like everyone else, then you're lost in the mix."
This interview takes listeners though my journey from when I picked up my first camera to where I am today. It also highlights the type of photographer I am, and shows what sets me apart from other people in my field.
"So I do a tactic or I do a process that a lot of photographers I've talked to kind of question why I do it. But I will actually take a photo of you and then I will sit down and I will analyze the photo with you, and then I will actually edit that photo in front of you."
This conversation shines a light on how I take people through a portrait session, how I try to gain people's trust and make them comfortable during the shoot, and how my photography style has changed over the years.
