How to Be Confident In Front of the Camera

,

How to be confident in front of the camera? A lot of people struggle with it.

Over 20 years of photographing people I’ve heard it all: I’m awkward in front of the lens, I don’t know how to pose, I’m not photogenic, I don’t know what to wear… yet by the time the photo shoot is ending, everyone wants more! Great photos give an incredible confidence boost and are cherished forever.

How can you feel more confident in front of the camera? Lovely Juliana Leamen, Holistic Menopause Transition Expert, interviewed me about this topic on her podcast:

Late Winter Fashion with Christie Ressel

Stylist & Youtuber Christie Ressel

Stylist & Youtuber Christie Ressel

And just like that, it’s the last week of February and I really hope spring is behind the corner!

One of the reasons I love working with Stylist Christie Ressel so much is because her outfits are full of joy and they make even winter better.

We started this photoshoot in a beautiful cafe where we had delicious coffee and captured super cozy photos.

Shooting in our second location was a bit interesting this time! See what Christie wrote about it:

“When you have a photo shoot scheduled, outfits prepped for dry ground, and on the day of, it snows? All you can do is laugh and roll with the punches.

Fun fact, at this location, there is normally a warm, public restroom that I’ve used to change-in for photos. However, in addition to the surprise snowfall, the bathroom was also locked. BUT, I found a small janitors closet (with no lock on it ☠️😳) and changed there instead. .
Was it glamorous? No.

But I did get a good laugh (and tested the speed of my changing).

Things don’t always go as we plan, but we always have a choice to either resist, complain, and make it a “thing”, or laugh, roll with it, and chalk it up to a quirky part of our day. .
We always have a choice.

I would much rather choose a feel good, elevated vibe, wouldn’t you?”

Christie’s last outfit is a bit unusual, because she doesn’t wear a lot of black.

She injected colour into this outfit in a beautiful and subtle way, so it’s still very much her style.

Meghan came in for a pamper photoshoot!

For her birthday, she decided to celebrate and capture herself for all time. It was great to work with Meghan - every single woman should be captured beautifully at least once in her life and have this experience!

Fall is here and it’s so gorgeous!

I was eagerly waiting for Cathy’s next photoshoot because fall is her favorite season and I knew we would create something incredible again. Cathy is our Subscriber, which means she benefits from regular photoshoots. This way she has great content for her marketing and her social media is growing very fast.

For this lifestyle photoshoot, we had set up a beautiful picnic in a nearby forest.

A good location with great light conditions is crucial to capture fall’s true beauty.

I could not be happier with spots I scouted out for Cathy’s fall photoshoot!

Another thing that is lovely about fall? Outfits.

Fall outfits are very photogenic and Cathy did a great job of bringing the right outfits for her photoshoot. The more effort you put into bringing the right outfits for your photoshoot, the better your photos will be!

After Cathy’s photoshoot on location, it was time to head home and capture some super cozy, fall photos at home.

After all, fall is such a cozy season!

I hope you enjoyed this photoshoot!

happy fall xoxo

Sandeep

I was so excited to work with Sandeep Sohal again on updating her real estate photos. She rocked her photoshoot just after successfully wrapping a challenging real estate transaction. Being a wife, mother and a professional is not easy so kudos to all women who are doing their very best every single day!

Sandeep’s brand is fresh and modern and she wanted her photos to really reflect that. I fell in love with every outfit Sandeep brought to her photoshoot.

Spring with Pink Avocado Nutrition

PureStudiosAgnesKieszPANMar-25.jpg

We had so much fun shooting with Cathy from Pink Avocado Nutrition for her new, beautiful website. Cathy is a Nutritionist & Accountability Coach (that’s a combo to make things happen right there!), a Super Momma and such a ray of sunshine.

I always admire women who went through serious struggles and didn’t let those struggles break their spirit and get them stuck in victim mentality. If you didn’t know Cathy’s back story, you’d never think this energetic, creative, nurturing lady went through so much in her life. I’m always so grateful for the opportunity to work and learn from women like Cathy. It inspires me and helps me with my own struggles. We all go through hardships from time to time and growth isn’t easy!

“I started my 40s with struggles. I had a child that was in and out of hospitals, a terminally ill father and to top it off a failing marriage! But these struggles lead me to dig deep and find what I had forgotten - belief in myself. I found a coach and realized I needed accountability. I stopped trying to lose weight, I stopped seeking approval from others & I gained the courage to believe in myself again. I focused on the process and let the results speak for themselves”
— Cathy, Pink Avocado Nutrition

Hi, I am Agnes

I believe a photoshoot is about getting out of your head, remembering who you truly are and the artist showing you through photography everything you can still become.

I know how beautiful looks like and I know how to capture it. I want to take the best photographs you have ever seen of yourself and empower you from the inside out.

My strenghts are making everyone (yes, you too!) comfortable in front of the camera, creative direction and styling.

“I invite you to a Personal Session with me. It will change the way you see yourself!”
