Episode #002 - Rachel Jayne Photography
I asked Rachel (owner/manager) some questions to help get to the core of her business. Here is what I found:
james - Does a picture really say 1000 words?
rachel - I don't think so. I think a good photograph tells a story and makes you feel some kind of emotion. The kind of photos I take usually are about showing connection between people. That's my main goal, to show connection.
james - the photography market is very noisy and crowded...what makes you different?
rachel - Sessions with me are fun and relaxed. I don't do a lot of posing because I find it to be very rigid and unnatural. Even if I do a "pose", I like to try to lighten it up and make it more natural. I try to get families to just be together how they would if they were playing in the yard, then I try to capture that.
james - is it a good camera, a good eye, or good editing that makes the best picture?
rachel - All 3 are important. Having a good camera is nice, but if you don't have a good eye and the technical skills to back it up, it won't really help. It's important not to over edit, you really don't want to look at the photo and see where the edits were made. Everyone has their own style, so it's important for clients to understand that and make sure they like a particular photographers editing style.
james - Thanks for the time Rachel! Folks...whatever 'it' is? Rachel has it. Here is where you can look up and contact her great company:
