So, you've got this idea that you really would like to get professional photo's taken that you can frame and put on your walls or a coffee table booklet. What ever your personal reason may be you cant help but to feel insecure of the camera.
Ive found some people as well as my own first time experience that you cant help to get a bit of stage freight in front of the camera. Here's a few possible reasons why professional photography may scare you.
- This huge camera comes out*BOOM* its in your face, all eyes on you.
- If its a studio session there's these crazy obscure lights everywhere and your thrown totally out of your comfort zone.
- Your convinced you are not photogenic, i can relate to this one and at times its a psychological thing.
- There also may be a specific feature you have you despise, my advice is to let your photographer know your uncomfortable with (for example) your arms. This way they know what to look out for.
- How are you supposed to pose?
- what should you wear?
- Maybe if you go on a diet & exercize more youll look better, should this not help?
Here's a secret i can tell you. Its the photographers responsibility to make you look & most importantly feel good. (well this is how i approach my work) When i have a client to shoot i always converse with them to make them feel at ease. I make sure my client is comfortable and answer any question they may have. If the photographer makes you feel uncomfortable its not a relationship worth keeping, you should enjoy your photo-shoot thoroughly!
So if you are terrified of looking bad in photo's its time to let go and understand that the photographer should be professionally equipped with the skill to give you the unforgettable pictures your looking for. let go of your fear and trust the professional.
