Some of Sophia’s lessons she wish she’d known earlier

  • Spent more time shooting and developing her style before making her approach to clients
  • Photography is not life and death - not worth taking on too much stress - enjoy the shoots as much as you can
  • Tends to do less in-depth research so that she doesn’t know too much about them as that can kill the spontaneity
  • The way she approaches taking on a shoot is if it falls into one of these categories

    • Will the shoot give me some portfolio worthy work?
    • Will it be financially worthwhile?
    • Will i have fun doing it?
    • Sophia always lights in the direction of the daylight - which makes her work look very naturally lit

      Sophia use Evernote to run everything
