Most people who sit in front of my camera don't want to be there.
Not because they don't care about the outcome. They care a lot. They've been thinking about this shoot for two weeks. They picked their outfit three times. They have a lot riding on it.
But they don't like photos of themselves, they don't know what to do with their hands, and nobody ever taught them how to be on camera.
That's the first thing I work on. Before the lighting, before the angle, before any of it — I need to help the person in front of me relax enough to just be themselves.
When that happens, the photo is easy. When it doesn't, no amount of technical skill saves it.
Getting people comfortable is the job. Everything else is craft.
