A Photographer's Diary: Business Portrait
Have you ever wondered what a working day of a professional photographer looks like, what he does and what his obligations are in the process of creation? On this occasion, let's flip through a few pages of his diary and take a peek into the world where the image of his business is created - a gallery of business portraits of a professional photographer.
From morning coffee to evening relaxation, except in situations where the schedule requires a change of these activities, a working day for a professional photographer looks quite dynamic and exciting. Starting from contracting a job and agreeing with the client, through creating the concept for shooting, photography, to editing and post-production of photos, his working day is mostly a complex and creative process.
The second week of May this year, a handful of scheduled recordings in the diary. From Monday to Saturday, portrait and advertising photography, photography of business portraits and products for online stores are intertwined, studio photography has been ordered, which makes up only one part of the entire opus. A very busy dynamic work week. Working in a studio, in a work space where the photographer is mostly on his own, largely provides the necessary peace and concentration, as well as isolation from the outside world that would possibly disrupt the creation process, and provides the moment when equipment, models or products are only needed. Studio photography is one of my favorites. ❤️
Before each shoot, it is certain that the excitement and curiosity grow, the excitement of the creation itself, while curiosity is the main question that arises with each new task, what awaits us, what will it look like and how will it go? The passion for the business we do, provided it is desired, certainly increases them even more, because without certain invested emotions, the end product of the business cannot be ranked among the successful ones. Love for your job in the business world definitely means success, because if you love your job, then success is guaranteed, and failure is excluded! ☺️
Depending on the type of commissioned photography, the photographer first engages in a certain imagination, his world of imagination where creativity together with skills come from playing with lighting, scenography, communication with models, complex composition, striving to create the best possible image of a task, regardless of its complexity or complexity, whether it is about promoting one's business and success through business portraits or whether it is about successfully placing a certain brand on the market - the end product, in this case photography, must present them in the best possible light. And after taking photos and a physically active day, the last word in designing photos is taken by their post-production, ie work in Photoshop, which, depending on the complexity of processing, along with favorite music provides some time for physical rest, each activity has a double benefit, a very useful part of the story of photography as a professional commitment. ☺️
While flipping through the diary, on this occasion we came across pages written about studio photography, what it means, how interesting and inspiring it is - from a request for photography and concluding a deal with a client, through planning and organizing it, photography itself where excitement and fulfillment present to the greatest extent, all the way to Photoshop and sending files via Wetransfer - working in the studio largely provides a picture of one working day of a professional photographer, thus forming part of his complex business portrait.
