BTS 2: How to Take Your Portrait Client from Consult to Photo Shoot

Clued Up with Maria B: The Behind-The-Scenes Photography Podcast

Episode 11. In this week's episode we go behind the scenes of a recent photo shoot that just sort of happened. In one of my most successful photo shoots, we look at the elements that came together to create the perfect storm: Preparedness, Professionalism, Killer Attitude, and Confidence on the part of the client, the makeup artist, and the photographer-that would be me. This is what happens when people know their craft, when they're comfortable in their capabilities, and when there's trust between everyone involved. This is the way photo shoots are suppose to go: Everyone shows up with the best of intention and with the singular purpose to give it their all. With every BTS there are lessons to be learned including giving yourself time to correct mistakes especially in areas beyond your direct control and double and triple checking that you have all the right gear and equipment.
We also talk about being the director of the set, not being a task mater, caring for the people who work to make your work outstanding, and praising your team and their phenomenal work.
I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed this photo shoot with @ka_ra8493 and @srcfaces
