For trust to be present, I need to be safe, be professional, be collaborative, and be generous.

Here are a couple of the ways I create connection Here are a couple of the ways I create connection and enroll people in my personal projects. I've broken down the little things I do as a photographer to communicate and build relationships in the latest episode of the Vlogcast. You can find it on YouTube, Apple/Spotify podcasts or via the link in my profile. 

Do you put enough time & effort into building relationships and improving your communication skills?

Breaking down how I work with talent:. If you get Breaking down how I work with talent:. If you get some value from this clip, I'd be very appreciateive if you share the love with at least one other photographer you know who might benefit. ✊🏼 ❤️

I've had a lot of photographers ask about this over the years, and it can be hard to answer since each person responds to direction differently. So here's a full breakdown off all of the different approaches I currently use to get the photos I want from my subjects, both professional talent like models, and people with less experience in front of the camera.

Do you agree? ✊🏼 Often, other people have sa Do you agree? ✊🏼

Often, other people have said it better, and in this case it's especially true. The photographer behind the famous photo of a sailor dipping and kissing a woman (you'll know it if you see it), Alfred Eisenstaedt, once said "It is more important to click with people than to click the shutter". Its through that connection that great photos can take place. To me, successful creative relationships are created through connection and trust. What do you think?

One of the things I think most photographers overlook is their skills of communication and ability to create relationships. In this episode I break down the ingredients of communication & relationships as it relates to photography. Since I believe photography is a lot of little things done well, practicing and working on these skills have really made a difference in my work.

An important snippet from my last episode. Here's An important snippet from my last episode. Here's what I'm thinking a lot about right now and I know there much more for me to action an learn. The decisions I make on who is represented both in front of and behind the camera matter. Type-casting cements the biases of an audience and relies on someone's look to fit a stereotype. How can I all expand my horizons in order to break down barriers and use casting to eliminate steretypes rather than reinforcing them? What can you do?

Part 2 of this four part series comes out this Thursday!! Make sure to check out Part 1 where I talk about little things done well in pre-production (link in profile 👆🏼)
