My approach focuses on individual personality. At the end of the day I want to capture the person I’m photographing. I want the pictures to feel like them. That’s why I take time in my sessions to connect with my clients. I ask questions and try to get a look into who they are. I often have them lead, at certain points, in choosing how they pose. I call these self-lead photographs. While it is my job to direct the client, I challenge them to do what feels best - the results are sometimes better than any direction I could have given them. This makes the photo feel realistic, and personal to that person. Being a photographer is a two person job, really. It’s me and the client working together to make magic happen.
