Some of Sophia’s lessons she wish she’d known earlier
- Spent more time shooting and developing her style before making her approach to clients
- Photography is not life and death - not worth taking on too much stress - enjoy the shoots as much as you can
- Tends to do less in-depth research so that she doesn’t know too much about them as that can kill the spontaneity
The way she approaches taking on a shoot is if it falls into one of these categories
- Will the shoot give me some portfolio worthy work?
- Will it be financially worthwhile?
- Will i have fun doing it?
Sophia always lights in the direction of the daylight - which makes her work look very naturally lit
