I had a real eye opener yesterday. I went to hoops and took photos for my close friends family, like family portraits. And I don’t know what the hell was running through my mind but it definitely opened my eyes to see how much I’ve got to learn. They asked me to put them in spots and I just figured they would take control. And then after going through the photos with them we realized that they didn’t like the way they looked and it didn’t cross my mind that they might not like what I don’t notice. Like the mother hated the way her legs looked gigantic the way she was sitting and it’s not easy to just get rid of that. And a lot of the photos they looked miserable, which half of them were miserable. I don’t plan on getting paid or anything but just the experience of it was a real eye opener before this major shoot I have coming up over the summer. I realized and now understand that photographers get one chance at something, and if they don’t please their customer its over. I’ve got a lot of shooting ahead of me and a lot more to learn. I need get my head out of my ass and get to work, holy shit.
