I have done a couple of maternity photo shoots in the past and recently I was given the pleasure to do another one which was by far one of my best maternity photo shoots to date. I don't want to offend anyone out there, but I have found that there are a lot of females that are timid around a male photographer and prefer a female photographer for these types of photo shoots.
These photos are of Jose and Christina, which were very easy to work with as well as to become very comfortable around. What did I mean by the title of this post, "To Know or Not To Know" is what I am getting to explain now. After I had taken these photos, Christina found me on Facebook and liked my page without me asking and said that was extremely pleased with the photos and looked forward to working with me in the future once their baby was born. I do not like to pry into others lives when I am working with them. Come to find out that Christina is actually Christina Zapata Cuervo and is one of the main reporters for Univision 26 in El Paso.
Now comes the question. Do you think as a photographer that you would have treated the situation differently if you knew ahead of time that one of your clients was a public figure or celebrity? I looked back at this situation and do not think that I would have. I prefer not to know so as to ensure that I am concentrating on the photography and not about the person. This is my take on it. Until next time, keep on practicing.
