Why 98% of people feel awkward in front of the camera?

The world is full of pictures. We love going to galleries, hang pictures on the walls in our homes and enjoy looking at our grandparents’ photo albums. But why are we so afraid of being in front of the camera ourselves? There are many reasons that make us all nervous when we just think of visiting a photographer’s studio. Often we have our picture taken because we have to, for example, to include in our CV. And that’s normally when the bad experience starts. We connect the photoshoot experience with something unpleasant, something that needs to be done. And let’s be frank, quite often, these headshots are not the most flattering pictures we get. We don’t know how to pose, whether to smile or not. Our face becomes stiff and emotionless. So we avoid the camera in general to not to be reminded of something stressful and not rewarding. But a portrait photoshoot can be something wonderful. It can be a confidence boosting experience. A day you will enjoy and never forget. But it’s important to choose the right photographer for your experience! A professional photographer who will understand your style and vision. Someone who will know how to pose you and make you look your best in front of the camera. A professional photographer will make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I hear it so often from my clients that they go from hating being in front of the camera to really enjoying it and being excited about the next photoshoot. That’s the kind of experience I offer. So if you’re afraid of the camera, let me show you that it can be a fantastic experience you will want to repeat every year!
