More about Bessie L....
What do you love about your job?
I love capturing organic moments and details. Even when I was doing Wedding Photography, I have always loved details because I think it speaks more than a thousand words. For me each image tells a story and the details and composition is a way to tell that. I love playing with shadows, architectural proportion, lights and using amazing props that help tell the story. I also love incorporating amazing views and architectural backdrops.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
Since focusing on Product Photography, I have worked with a lot of small brands and makers. I usually research the brand and learn their aesthetic and visual style, then I talk to them to try to understand their goal for the photoshoot. I think creating a styled set, using appropriate props and specific lighting and composition, and even shooting on location that will help with the aesthetic of the product makes it special.
