As a photographer at your event, it’s important to me not to be perceived as an outsider. Through discreet presence, I aim to ensure that the atmosphere of the event remains undisturbed, and the participants or guests feel comfortable.
Beforehand, we go through the key points of the schedule together, discuss desired shots, and also get to know each other a bit. I find the latter especially important, particularly for smaller events, to maintain the naturalness of the moment and not jeopardize it by the mere presence of a directed camera.
