I'm a big fan of "why" when I see a sudden or urgent change. Yes it's important to respond quickly but knowing the "why" can help me see things beyond the immediate style adaption challenge and perhaps offer other solutions to the "why". I'm also a big believer that consistent and engaging client interaction lowers the number of "urgent" requests substantially.

Urgence ou non, une bonne préparation est essentielle pour réussir une séance photo. On peut aller plus vite, mais il reste indispensable de s’accorder sur le quand, où, qui, quoi et comment. Le repérage peut être simplifié si le client partage des photos du lieu prévu pour la prise de vue. Par ailleurs, un appel téléphonique peut souvent remplacer de nombreux échanges par e-mail et gagner du temps. Quant au style photographique, je choisirai toujours un photographe dont l’approche correspond parfaitement au projet et au profil demandé.

Wenn ein Kunde plötzlich einen anderen Fotografiestil wünscht, kommt es darauf an, flexibel zu bleiben und sich gut vorzubereiten. Nimm dir die Zeit, den gewünschten Stil genau zu analysieren – schau dir Beispiele an, um die Besonderheiten bei Licht, Perspektive und Komposition zu erkennen. Bevor das eigentliche Shooting stattfindet, probiere diesen Ansatz aus, um ein Gefühl dafür zu bekommen und mögliche Herausforderungen vorab zu lösen. Der Austausch mit dem Kunden ist dabei entscheidend: Besprecht, ob die Ergebnisse seinen Vorstellungen entsprechen, und passe dich bei Bedarf an. So stellst du sicher, dass du die Erwartungen erfüllst und trotzdem deine Handschrift beibehältst.

This moment is a favorite! Brands often expect everything in a single shoot, aiming for Zara or H&M-level quality. They share references on the shoot day, which can lead to challenges. One major issue is the model selection—they tend to pick regular models but expect extraordinary results. In such cases, focus on delivering as per their expectations. Set up the lighting and styling exactly as requested, and complete the work efficiently. Adapting to the situation while maintaining professionalism is key 🔑 .
