Planning my photo shoots has made me a much better photographer. And here’s what CHANGED. I used to show up with no PLAN. No IDEAS. Just the desire to photograph something. That was NEVER enough because I was relying on pure LUCK. Now my shoots are planned. Storyboard, moodboard, pre-production calls, and making sure everyone knows the goal. Flexible enough to pivot if needed, but still inline with the original feelings. Often ideas come to you while shooting and if you have the time you should explore them and experiment This shoot is the perfect example of being flexible on set. A blizzard came out of nowhere and the team had to move from the mountains to the city, but the client still loved the results. Why? Because we still captured the feelings and mood we had promised.
