Learning From Others

I’ve conducted a one on one coaching for Bernd, a photographer from Salzburg this Saturday. By sheer coincidence, one of my favourite models, Eliska, was in town so it was a great opportunity to practice with her.

The less experience you have as a photographer, the more experience the people you work with should have. I can really recommend working with a professional model if you want to try something out or just improve your skills.

What I love about workshops is that not only the student can learn something, but also the teacher.

What I Learned

I am very talkative and hyped on set, which leaves me exhausted after a full day of shooting. Bernd, on the other hand, is more of a quiet type.
I can’t really change who I am on set and I don’t really want to, but it became very apparent to me that I am the kind of person who works best in high energy scenarios than in slower scenarios. And I burn a lot of energy. Like a lot.
