In this episode, we sat down with Melissa Bordeau of @Bordeauphoto, a local #Austin, Texas Wedding, Portrait, and Real Estate Photographer!
She talked about how she became inspired to do #photography through the #musicindustry and covering events like #SXSW, and what her experience was like. She also talked about how she became inspired to expand her photography skills into the portrait industry after helping another photographer with an engagement session and the importance of a #mentor.
She also talked about how when #COVID first hit, she understood that she had to pivot and adapt to the situation. It ended up actually giving her time to open up a print shop, since she also loves Nature and Travel Photography. She also talked about how the Real Estate Industry side of her photography kept consistent, because of the ease of social distancing measures.
She also explained how important it is to develop your own style. During the conversation, we talked about how when first starting out, you want to mimic or copy others style of creativity, but that ultimately developing your own style will attract people to you in the long run.
