I wish my absence had something to do with having a lot of work but the truth is I have been lazy, very lazy. These are some shots from a client session I had yesterday. They were very nice, a little bit serious, but it was okay. I was very nervous though, it's been months since I had a paid photoshoot and felt all the pressure. It ended pretty quickly but the truth is, I had a hard time because I really tried to take them out of their comfort zone, that being, posing in front of the camera to smile. The younger brother was very helpful, that is why in some photos they look relaxed; that's what I was looking for, I loved the kid.
I'm waiting for my client to confirm these 20 photos I chose from the session because I need to print them and order the photobook, so I can start preparing the photobundle I'll give to her. I'm so nervous.
I've had other people asking for my photography services but when I tell them my prices they never reply back. The thing is, in my city the photography business is a terrible competition. While I might not be the best photographer in town, I feel that my prices are reasonable for the quality I offer, but there are other people who charge less but obviously offer lower quality services. Which is okay, I much rather have clients who really want to pay me for what I do, than people who are just feeling like I'm the only photographer they can pay. It's hard, but I hope that little by little I can start putting my work out there for people to see. I've had brides contacting me for their weddings and when I tell them I charge 500 dlls, they back off. I don't know, I seriously feel that, while I'm not super cheap, I'm not charging that much, but hey, that's okay I guess.
