Going Beyond Genre in Photography with Lissa Chandler

#425 In today's episode of the Beginner Photography Podcast, I
chat with wedding, senior, and family photographer Lissa
Chandler. Lissa shared valuable tips about building rapport with
clients, embracing creativity, and staying true to your artistic
vision. She also discussed the importance of shooting for
yourself and creating work that fulfills you creatively. As you
listen, take notes on how Lissa navigates vulnerability, handles
rejection, and captures authentic moments.

THE BIG IDEAS


Embrace the Evolution: Look back on your earlier photographs
and appreciate how they have evolved over time. Your growth as a
photographer is an ongoing process.

Follow Your Passion: Trust your instincts and pursue
photography even if it's not a popular career choice. Lissa knew
from a young age that photography would play an important role in
her life.

Finding Your Niche: Be open to finding your niche in
photography. Lissa initially wanted to be a posed baby
photographer but discovered her passion for shooting weddings
after a convincing encounter.

Shoot for Yourself: Shoot work that fulfills you creatively,
not just what others expect. Lissa emphasizes the importance of
creating a body of work that is meaningful to you, even when
working with clients.

Build Rapport with Clients: Connect with your clients to
create a successful photoshoot. Use questionnaires and encourage
client involvement to build rapport and capture their true
selves.
