Todays Question: How do you deal with a bad client?
When you get home from a shoot and think you did a great job and are excited to show the photos to the client and they email you back to tell you they don't like the photos, it can be crushing. Naturally you will want to lash out emotionally. How dare they talk down on your art! That may not be the case though. I had a couple who's engagement session I think I crushed! And when I send them the photos, they took a week to reply back "We don't really like them" I was so hurt, I didn't know what to think. Whats important here is that I didn't reply back immediately. I took 24 hours to collect myself figure out what I was going to say. I wanted to know WHY they didn't like them. Was it my style? Was it my editing? was it my lighting? Nope... they just wanted more photos of them looking at them camera and smiling. THAT was something I could fix. I had meet them again 1 week later to reshoot their engagements this time I got what they asked for and more. They loved the photos and even referred another couple to me to shoot their wedding. All because I took the time to figure out the problem rather than act out emotionally.

Daily Photo Q&A #29: How To Stand Out As A New Photographer
Todays Question: There Are So Many Photographers Where I Live. What Can I Do To Stand Out.
When starting out in photography, getting the opportunity to photograph people can be few and far between. You start asking yourself how can you stand out? The most common answer is "Well if there weren't a million other photographers in my town this would be easy! They are taking all of my clients" The first thing you need to do is loose that mindset. No matter where you go there will be a million other photographers in that town too. If you want to stand out you have to remove that from the equation. The way that you stand out is by simply being different. Then, have patience because its a long journey. Trying to be different can be hard. You're still learning and don't know how deep and creative photography can get. Keep experimenting. Try every type of photography you can. Find something you love, then dive deeper into that! Once you have a much more complex understanding of how something works you can take it apart and start from scratch. Find ways to do something no one else it. Then you will stand out. But it takes patience. A lot of patience. Keep at it, work hard, and dont get discouraged. You'll stand out

Todays Question: I'm still trying to find what my “thing” is in photography. D o you think it would be wise to reach out to local business for things such as headshots, interior shots, product shots, ect. It might not be something that i necessarily want to do but it would bring in some extra money for a new lens or two and it might be a good word of mouth to some good local families. What is your thoughts on this?
