A million billion years ago, I watched a photographer say she spends TWO HOURS on detail shots.
Insane??? INSANE.
Judgy?? MEEEE? Nevaaaa.
I used to pride myself on being fast. Details? 15 minutes. Couple photos? 5. I was very impressed with myself.
And there’s still a place for speed. But there’s also something to be said for slowing down. Trying another angle. Noticing the shadows. Giving yourself time to do something beyond what you already know works.
I’m a completely different photographer now. Still haven’t spent two hours on details. But never say never. Apparently I had to spend 11 years doing this to learn to mind my business.
Except the stupid Spider Holster. Tried it. Hated it. I’m built like a rectangle. We spent the whole wedding heading in different directions.
Enjoy the little things. Take your time. Leave room to change your mind.
And maybe don’t put every opinion on the internet. I’ll start tomorrow.
