Excuses for Never Doing a Photoshoot: Debunked

Are you one of those people who have always wanted to do a professional photoshoot, but find yourself constantly making excuses? Well, fear not! I’m here to debunk some of the most commonly heard excuses for never doing a photoshoot. Let's dive right in:

1. "I'm not photogenic."

Ah, the classic excuse where self-doubt takes center stage. I hear you, but here's the truth: being ‘photogenic’ is a myth and not something magical you are born with. A good photographer’s job is to capture your best angles and expressions. Their expertise lies in making you feel comfortable and guiding you throughout the process. So, let go of that self-criticism and embrace the opportunity to feel confident and beautiful in front of the camera.

2. "It's too expensive."

Yes, photoshoots can indeed come with a price tag. However, at ELLE PHOTO STUDIO, I offer a range of packages suited for various budgets. Remember, investing in a professional photoshoot is an investment in capturing memories and moments that will last a lifetime. Plus, you deserve to treat yourself once in a while.

3. "I don't have the time."

Time, or rather the lack thereof, is a common excuse in today's fast-paced world. But consider this: a photoshoot is an occasion where you can take a break from the daily grind and indulge in some self-care. It's a chance to create cherished memories and appreciate yourself. So, mark a date on your calendar and allocate time for a little escapism.

4. "I don't know how to pose."

Fear not, you don't need to be a professional model to rock a photoshoot. A good photographer will guide you through poses, highlighting your best features and helping you feel comfortable. They will capture your unique personality, so all you have to do is be yourself.

5. "I need to lose weight first."

Body positivity is the name of the game, and it starts with embracing yourself as you are. Photoshoots are about capturing your true essence, regardless of shape or size. Emphasize your beauty, both inside and out, by embracing your current self. Celebrate each milestone in your journey, and let the camera showcase the incredible person you are right now. I always say your weight is the least interesting part of you. I want to photograph you as you are right now.

6. "I'm too shy."

I understand that stepping out of your comfort zone can be intimidating. But remember, photographers are skilled at creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. They will guide you through the process, making you feel comfortable and confident. Allow yourself to break free from your shell and let your inner radiance shine through.

7. “I don’t know what to wear”

Understandable to just throw in the towel and stare at a closet not knowing where to start or what will work. This is why we do a design consultation to talk about all the details including wardrobe for your session. I also have a professional stylist ready to help as well if we cannot figure it out and we feel we need help.

So, there you have it – some of the most commonly heard excuses for never doing a photoshoot, thoroughly debunked. At ELLE PHOTO STUDIO, I believe everyone deserves to feel beautiful and capture memories that will be cherished for generations.

Don't let excuses hold you back; take the leap and seize the opportunity to create stunning artwork that truly represents you.
