Whilst I will not turn down any chance of client work, I am also actively looking to broaden my experience and develop my skills as a photographer. When a friend of the family had a new grandchild earlier this year, I volunteered to take the opportunity to take some baby photographs for the couple.
The parents wanted the photographs to be taken at home and not in a studio environment, but with some having the look of a traditional studio format.
I found this an interesting challenge as you really have to work with the client, gone is the freedom, to say look this way, or just move your arm down a little. I found it really called on my skill as a photographer to capture that perfect picture.
Although the parents and family were happy with the photographs, and I am also happy with the results I achieved, I would have liked more time and greater freedom to have tried different poses. I look forward to the next opportunity I get to develop these skills further.
