Being too good can make clients reluctant or scared to contact me!

As my wedding season approaches, yes I still photograph weddings but no where near as many as pre Covid! Covid was a wake up call for me. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket!

luckily, I’ve never just been a wedding photographer, I’ve been equally at home photographing people in business, products, interiors and food photography. I photograph anything but I don’t photography babies! I’ve also been bringing back video production as an increasing amount of clients are asking me for video interviews and talking straight to camera film. I’ve just invested in the latest mirrorless cameras that record in broadcast quality which is important to me and my clients.

I digress. I’ve had a great week with photographing business meetings (fly on the wall) and photographing and a couple of entrepreneurs too. I’ve also clinched three food and interior business deals.

One client contacted me and said they loved my photography but were scared to contact me about how much I charge. After a great telephone chat, they were surprised to discover I was affordable. Another comment from a client was that my food photography was so good that if I photographed their food, their clients might be let down when they see it in real life on the plate! With reassurance, I was honest and said I don’t retouch food, I photograph food straight from chef. It’s my dramatic lighting that makes the food pop!
