His career has developed from early press photography through to high-profile portrait work, giving him a broad understanding of both the technical and practical side of the industry.  In this episode, he speaks about the reality of working as a photographer, from navigating freelance life and building relationships to managing shoots with high-profile talent under tight timeframes. He explains how much of the role sits beyond taking the picture, with preparation, organisation and problem-solving playing a central part in delivering a successful shoot.  He also shares how the industry has evolved, with faster turnaround times, increasing demand for content and the growing importance of behind-the-scenes visibility. As expectations continue to shift, he highlights the need to stay adaptable, maintain consistency and continue developing both creatively and commercially over time.  www.businessofmodelling.co.uk   www.danielkennedy.com    Hosted on Acast.
