Photographing people is a complex task. A level of comfort must be achieved that is besides the skill a photographer carries. While Photographic skill is a huge factor, the subject must feel at ease to achieve the best portrait that an employer feels is amongst their top candidate.
With experience in hospitality, making people feel comfortable is a priority. As a photographer, it is my goal for the subject to see themself in a portrait in a manner that aligns with their mental picture of themself: confident, professional, and approachable.
