People think photography is about cameras.
It’s not.
It’s about reading rooms. Knowing when to talk. Knowing when to shut up. Knowing that the second someone feels uncomfortable, the shoot is already over—even if the photos look fine.
Nobody really prepares you for what it’s like being a male photographer in spaces where people are vulnerable. Especially now. Especially in an era where everything can be content and nothing is private unless you make it that way.
You don’t learn this stuff on YouTube.
You learn it by paying attention. By messing up early. By realizing that professionalism isn’t a personality—it’s a practice.
And if you get it wrong? People remember.
More on that soon.
