You’ll get many opportunities to photograph someone for free or to offer you work for less. You don’t have to take all of them or even any of them. As a successful photographer, you’ll need to learn to say “no” more often than “yes” and how your career development depends on saying “no” to the wrong people. This blog post will guide you through the different scenarios and how to protect yourself.
Golden hour is a fantastic time to shoot portraits, using the interplay between the warm and dramatic light and your subject to create visually compelling images.
