Why review images during a shoot?
It slows everything down, right? Actually, those 20 minutes save you HOURS. Here’s why both clients and I love it:
- Together is better You get my sixth sense for authenticity, honed over the last decade+ of making headshots and portraits. I get your instant feedback.
- Real-time refinement You see the results of direction. If something’s not working, we know to fix it or move on.
- Break time Reviewing is a natural rest point. We chat, I show you some visual references, and we decide to start a new look or keep going.
- It’s all good! We set aside everything we like and delete everything we don’t. Every shot is one you already know you love.
- Instant delivery I can post your proofing gallery before you even leave the studio.
Like most photographers, I started out trying to maximize control: You’ll see them when I’m ready! That only slowed me down, excluded your insight, AND meant I’d have to call you back to fix a problem. Instead, I share the vulnerability by combining what we're both best at. It's one of the things people love most about shooting at my Oakland studio: Me showing you killing it at being you.
