Every Saturday we wake up to a new wedding ... well I wish it was every Saturday. Every time I know that I must do my best. That is what my clients expect and what I would expect also. How do you make each day your best? I started writing this thinking that there was an answer. There is, but it is personal to each photographer. Having great assistants makes the best more achievable. Do your homework, have a safety net, have the skills to stay out of danger, underpromise and always overdeliver. Be stimulated by your work and by your clients. Have fun. There was a time when I would have told people the real answer was, ‘Drink more coffee and eat more chocolate.’ It worked for me. In truth it was a front for the excitement of shooting a wedding, ‘being in the zone’. An undeniable truth is, ‘Look after yourself’ in body and mind. Some days it's harder to turn it on than others, but as professionals that is what is expected ... your absolute best, and nothing less. Cheers Johannes
