“I’m probably your worst client, I’m so sorry!”
I have heard this so many times in the past. My answer is always the same: “No, you’re not!”
I’m not saying this because I’ve had worse clients. I might have but I don’t compare you to anybody else. Everybody’s different!
Being photographed or filmed can be a stressful and very unfamiliar experience.
I understand that you’re nervous.
I understand that you might need some time to calm down.
I understand that it make take you 5 tries to answer a certain question for your brand film.
When you work with me, I don’t keep looking at the time constantly. I won’t rush you. Sometimes my sessions run over and that’s ok. But if that means you had the time to breathe, we had a chat and a coffee halfway through just to refocus, then that’s more important than finishing on time for me.
That’s why I don’t book more than one client per day. Nobody likes to feel rushed. Including me!
My aim is for you to feel comfortable in front of my camera. Because if you’re not, it will show in your photos and film!
When you see what we create together, I want you to be proud of yourself and not conscious about how nervous or stiff you think you look.
So, no… you’re not my worst client!
I don’t compare you to others so why would you do that?
When you work with me, you don’t need to be a pro in front of my camera. Just be yourself and let me do the heavy lifting!
Photos are one thing. And people tend to relax in front of my camera fairly quickly.
But over the past couple years, I also had the pleasure to help a number of businesses showcase and vocalise what they offer to their clients through brand films. A lot of people still shy away from this because it’s scary, daunting and unfamiliar but that’s why I’m here to help.
Again, the uncomfortable and unknown challenge of talking about yourself and your business can create an Impostor feeling, self-doubt and outcries like “OMG, why am I like this?” and “I bet I’m your worst client EVER!”. But again, I am aware of how hard this can be and rather than judging you, I’ll guide you through the process so you too can have a brand film like wedding photographer Lindsey who said those sentences above multiple times throughout the day we spent together.
But if you trust me through this process, we’ll be able to tell your story in a way that resonates with your audience. And hopefully not make you cringe when you watch the final output!
This is what Lindsey said after working with me:
“Anja is freaking amazing. I’m absolutely blown away by my photos and film. I honestly didn’t expect to love them as much as I do. Not only is she a brilliant creator, she’s also super patient and caring. She really helped me relax and made it easy!
I really can’t thank her enough, for everything. Amazing service, and amazing photos!!”
So, what do you think? Are you ready to trust me and create some beautiful imagery that shows your audience who you are and what you’ve got to offer?
