Our guest this week was canberra based wedding photographer Ben Kopilow. Ben also does portraits and stock photography but he is primarily a wedding photographer.
Ben discussed with us some of the reasons why he loves his job as a wedding photographer, which included
- Gets to go to parties all the time and get paid for it
- Weddings are a happy time so you are always around people having a good time
- Wedding photography encompasses a number of genres, including portraiture, architecture, fashion, landscape, food and urban
Ben made a very interesting point about believing in yourself and self limiting fears. He demonstrated this by offering a $20 note and asking if anyone wanted it. It took several minutes before someone got up and took it off him, and they were allowed to keep it. The point Ben then made was about why no one got up to take it, citing reasons such as;
- "He's joking"
- "He'll take it back"
- "I don't deserve it"
- "Someone else will take it"
Often the only thing standing between you and your goal is nothing but air. Believe you are worth it.
