Was liebst du an deinem Job?
Beyond the philosophy of capturing magic moments I mentioned elsewhere in this profile, I love being a photographer because it gives me the chance to work in novel and exciting ways on such a huge variety of projects. I'm constantly afforded the opportunity to meet and work with fascinating people from all walks of life with a shared passion for creativity and storytelling. Whether that's the story of a brand or an individual, the chance to rise to new challenges and capture the essence of new narratives is a constantly rewarding prospect and one that is always a thrill.
Welche Shootings hast du schon gemacht und wie hast du sie besonders gemacht?
I've done all sorts of shoots in my career, and each one has been incredibly special. When shooting portraits, I've always felt it crucial to put the subject at ease when in front of the lens. Some people are understandably trepidatious when being photographed, and to encourage the best out of subjects I always like to make an event of each shoot. Offering refreshments, playing their favourite music, and engaging them in jokes and conversation are all things I like to offer in order to put a subject at ease. When shooting events, I try to stay on the move as much as possible, engaging with each and every guest and ensuring I capture memories for all of them. I find, especially with event photography, it's important to strike that balance between engaging and observing, allowing me to get the best out of guests and create exceptional imagery without over imposing my presence.
