The pursuit of growth and development in photography often hinges on the guidance and wisdom shared among photographers. This fantastic video offers some of the best advice a photographer has received in his journey.
Coming to you from Peter Forsgård, this reflective video discusses lots of valuable tips and guidance. Forsgård shares the best advice he’s received from fellow photographers, covering a wide range of topics from the importance of customer service and the photographer-client relationship to technical aspects like understanding and utilizing light effectively. One standout piece of advice is the concept that clients perceive the photographer within the image, highlighting the significance of the interaction and experience during the photoshoot. This insight stresses the need for photographers to not only focus on the technicalities of their craft but also on the human element, ensuring clients feel comfortable and enjoy their session.
Forsgård also encourages photographers to explore beyond their comfort zones, arguing that dabbling in different genres and styles can ignite creativity and broaden one’s skill set. This notion of being “horrible,” as mentioned by Forsgård, or embracing more raw and unrefined aspects of photography, challenges photographers to reconsider their aesthetic preferences and the polished images they’re accustomed to producing. It’s a call to authenticity and exploration that can lead to a deeper understanding of what photography means on a personal level. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Forsgård.
