More about Angela P....
What do you love about your job?
I love my job because it allows me to create moments that bring smiles to people's faces when they look back at their memories. Capturing authentic emotions and showing people how I see them is incredibly rewarding. When shooting products, I enjoy making them appear greater than life, highlighting their best features and telling their story through my lens. Above all, I cherish the moments when my photos make people stop scrolling, capturing their attention, and inviting them to pause, watch, and ponder. It's these moments of connection and impact that make my job truly fulfilling.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I've had the opportunity to work on a variety of shoots, including weddings, portraits, product photography, events, food photography, and even a bit of real estate. What sets my work apart is my dedication to thinking outside the box and creating images that are anything but generic or cookie-cutter.
For weddings and portraits, I focus on capturing authentic emotions and unique moments that tell a story. I strive to make each image meaningful and personal, reflecting the essence of the individuals or couples I photograph.
In product photography, I approach each shoot with creativity and innovation. I aim to highlight the best features of the products, creating visually striking images that grab attention and leave a lasting impression.
For events, I aim to capture the atmosphere and energy of the occasion, ensuring that every important moment is documented in a compelling way.
When it comes to food photography, I pay attention to every detail, from lighting and composition to styling, to create mouthwatering images that showcase the food in its best light.
Even in real estate photography, I aim to showcase properties in a way that highlights their unique features and appeals to potential buyers.
Overall, my goal is to make each shoot special by bringing a fresh perspective, creativity, and attention to detail, resulting in images that stand out and resonate with viewers.
