The great wedding dilemma
I’m going to put a dent in the Saskatchewan Wedding Photography world. If I’m going to do it, it’s going to be big. There are too many “ifs”…
I’m going to do it.
I’ve got a free ticket
When you’re in your early 20’s, no one is tossing you the keys to a supercar, or telling you to go bury a pickup in mud for the shot. When you put a camera in your hand, people are eager for these things.
Finding inspiration
After my recent move, I was hit with a surge of creativity, followed by the drop. Nearly a week passed where I was incapable of creating. My drive to go out and explore went numb and I just sat around and waited for the motivation to pull the camera out of my bag and shoot something.
They all laughed at me
I really noticed the difference when I learned about Facebook’s feature to compare your page to other pages. I stuck a few of my competitors names in the feature and saw that even though they had built up a larger following than I had and they posted every single day, I was reaching so much further. More people were seeing me through this cloud of promotions because I was just showing what I did from a unique and real angle.
My first big photo “job”
“We went out and began awkwardly taking pics of the cars where they sat. I guess we were “warming up”. In hindsight, I think we looked like total amateurs.”
