We recently connected with Emil Gasparian and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Emil , thank you so much for opening up with us about some important, but sometimes personal topics. One that really matters to us is overcoming Imposter Syndrome because we’ve seen how so many people are held back in life because of this and so we’d really appreciate hearing about how you overcame Imposter Syndrome.
I embraced each shoot as a chance to grow, appreciating my unique perspective and trusting my years of experience to silence doubt. Every click affirmed my journey, erasing imposter shadows.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
I capture love stories through my lens, freezing moments that speak beyond words. What excites me is translating emotions into timeless images, creating a visual narrative of cherished memories. Currently expanding my portfolio to include destination weddings, ensuring love knows no boundaries. Stay tuned for breathtaking captures from around the world!
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Adaptability: Embrace change, stay current with trends, and be open to new techniques. The ability to adapt ensures you’re always offering fresh and relevant perspectives.
Connection: Beyond the camera, connect with people. Understanding your clients, building relationships, and making them feel comfortable result in more authentic and intimate photos.
Continuous Learning: Photography is an evolving art. Stay hungry for knowledge. Attend workshops, experiment with styles, and never settle. The more you learn, the more you can push creative boundaries.
All the wisdom you’ve shared today is sincerely appreciated. Before we go, can you tell us about the main challenge you are currently facing?
Implementing efficient workflow systems to streamline tasks, while maintaining a dedicated client-focused approach. Leveraging technology and delegating responsibilities to a trusted team ensures each client receives the attention they deserve.
