In today's episode of the Beginner Photography Podcast, I chat with wedding, senior, and family photographer Lissa Chandler. Lissa shared valuable tips about building rapport with clients, embracing creativity, and staying true to your artistic vision. She also discussed the importance of shooting for yourself and creating work that fulfills you creatively. As you listen, take notes on how Lissa navigates vulnerability, handles rejection, and captures authentic moments.The Big Take Aways:

  1. Embrace the Evolution: Look back on your earlier photographs and appreciate how they have evolved over time. Your growth as a photographer is an ongoing process.
  2. Follow Your Passion: Trust your instincts and pursue photography even if it's not a popular career choice. Lissa knew from a young age that photography would play an important role in her life.
  3. Finding Your Niche: Be open to finding your niche in photography. Lissa initially wanted to be a posed baby photographer but discovered her passion for shooting weddings after a convincing encounter.
  4. Shoot for Yourself: Shoot work that fulfills you creatively, not just what others expect. Lissa emphasizes the importance of creating a body of work that is meaningful to you, even when working with clients.
  5. Build Rapport with Clients: Connect with your clients to create a successful photoshoot. Use questionnaires and encourage client involvement to build rapport and capture their true selves.
