The owner of Bebe Le Strange reached out to me and she had a problem that a lot of clothing brands face: her product photos were fine, but they weren’t stopping anyone in their tracks. And she made it clear to me in our first call: "NO PLAIN ROLLER BACKDROP STUDIOS! WE ARE NOT MEANT TO BLEND IN WITH EVERYONE ELSE!"
Over worked, under paid, burnt out, under appreciated, and eye strain from editing. And you get the text: "Sorry, we ended up booking another photographer." If there even is a text.
It hurts.
Let's talk about wide shots vs longer, telephoto shots, why I switch lenses/focal lengths, and how those focal lengths feel in the end result.
