A senior story worth telling

ash isn’t much of a trend follower. An artist, athlete, and soon to be nursing major, she’s not all that interested in what everyone else is doing. She would rather drive her pickup to a field, watch the sunset, and think about her own next steps

A common misconception repeated is what it means to be an extrovert of introvert. People often connect the terms to some sort of behavior like being outgoing vs shy or confidence vs doubt. Those behaviors are independent of whether you’re an introvert of extrovert. They have nothing to do with where you get your energy.

I’m the classic definition of an extrovert in that I gain energy by being around people. I can arrive at an event exhausted and leave with a pep in my step. Conversely, spending too much time alone is actually draining for me. The inverse is true for introverts. They gain energy spending time by themselves or with smaller groups. Too many people can leave them depleted.

Being shy or outgoing is a completely different thing. That’s related to how you handle the spotlight. Every person I photograph is going to be the star of that moment. The spotlight is squarely on them, sometimes, literally. Most people, when they’re extroverted or introverted, get awkward at first when the camera is on them. It takes practice to be natural. Or someone to talk you through it.

Portrait photography is understanding the psychology of a person as much as the technical details of creating a photograph. That’s a big thing to consider when choosing a photographer. Who are you when the spotlight is on, who do you want to be, and can that photographer see the difference in you? That’s when you have a meaningful portrait. And that’s the most important part of my job.

Is this happening to anyone one else? Also, I’m not always getting a notification when tagged in a photo. That’s not great when people tag for engagement, but I’m not in the photo or it’s not one I’ve taken. Tagged is a section where potential clients can see my work. I’ve had to untag myself from spam posts before.

Also, tag your photographers. It helps our visibility. If you liked the photo enough to post, like it enough to give credit.
