When I'm out networking, and I tell people I'm a photographer, the first reaction I get is, "I hate having my photo taken!"
I get it, it's a normal feeling. 90% of the people I photograph say the same. In fact, apart from professional models, it's only a small percentage of people who are naturally confident in front of my lens, and those are usually Gen Z youngsters who have grown up on Instagram.

I'm not scary, nor is my camera, so gradually you'll start to feel at ease.
Once we start shooting, frame by frame, the real 'you' will start to show through, until eventually you forget it's a photoshoot, and we create images like this.
Like most things in life, the more you do it, the easier it gets.
So if you're still using a ten-year-old iPhone selfie, or the images on your website date back to the Jurassic era, now's the time to conquer your fear and show your audience the real you...
