56: *Student Success* How She Became a Full-Time Wedding Photographer in Under a Year With Claudia Melian


Listen Later

Today I brought someone very special onto the podcast, and I can’t WAIT for you to get to know her! Meet Photographer’s Path Alumni, Claudia Melian.

Claudia is an incredible wedding photographer, originally from the Canary Islands and currently living in Connecticut.

She is a true artist — her work is timeless, hypnotizing and never ceases to capture the attention of its viewers.

Shortly before joining The Photographer’s Path, Claudia fell in love with photography but wasn’t really sure where that path could take her. She didn’t know what she wanted to do, she just knew she loved taking photos.

Well, within 4 months of joining TPP Claudia booked her first wedding, and within 1 year of signing up for our course she was officially a full-time wedding photographer (taking on her first wedding season all on her own)!

She created a snowball effect that totally transformed her life, and we’re talking all about it in today’s episode.

Claudia is a perfect example of what can happen when you take the leap and go after your dreams even when you’re unsure of where it might take you.

In this episode, she talks about:

➡️ How DMing strangers to help build her portfolio led to booking her first couples shoot ...

➡️ Tips for staying calm and in the moment during stressful shoot environments ...

➡️ What inspires her to create images unique to her ...

➡️ Advice when shoots don’t go as planned (insert wedding horror stories) ...

➡️ Advice for aspiring photographers, and so much more...

If you’ve been thinking about taking it to the next level with your photography but the fear has been holding you back, I hope you'll give this episode a listen.

It’s time to see for yourself what’s possible when you go after your dreams.
