10 things people say to a dating photographer
Here are 10 typical things people say to a dating photographer; so don’t worry, you’re not alone.
1. well hello, this is random. (yup, it certainly is..)
2. i’m really unphotogenic (oh man, so am i, please don’t worry i can handle it)
3. i don’t like smiling in photos (hey that’s OK, but chances are, i might just make you laugh during the shoot)
4. is this your real job? (.. why yes, it actually, really is lol)
5. are your clients mainly women? (about half and half actually)
6. can i bring a friend to the shoot? (sure thing… as long as it is someone who will help the shoot rather than hinder it – if you know what i mean…)
7. how many photos will you take? (err a heck of a lot but that means you can relax and not worry about blinking etc and rest assured i will delete all the dud ones)
8. where’s a good location? (somewhere you feel comfortable and which reflects elements of your personality. edgy? brick lane. country girl? hampstead heath. sporty? the olympic park etc)
9. shall i bring any props? (props are great for helping you relax in front of the camera – anything from hats, headphones, books, flowers etc all helps)
10. have you met any nice girls/guys you could set me up with? (i’m working on it lol)
