16A –What’s Your Secret Sauce?

a) A lot of clients usually are not confident about taking photos. Before the sessions, they are ususally apprehensive about how their shoot will go down. In this case, I can help clients feel at ease and confidently direct them in a way that they can have fun. 
b) I know how to utilize the environment so I can direct clients to the most photogenic environment, so their photos have a quality natural setting. 
c) More than 3 years of experience in photography industry, I have exellence in technical proficiency and I know how to utilize all my photography equippment. 
d) I don't pursue good customer service, I pursue exceptional service that goes above and beyond. I want to make my clients happy at the end of the day and I want them to feel wow at the final result. I've gained years of experience in customer service. 
e) I belive I have what it takes to perform well under pressure. During high pressured event such as wedding, where a lot is at stake. Keeping a level head, keeping calm, and creating positive atmosphere is important, so the client don't feel akward. 


Interviewee 1: I'm so proud of you. I haven't got a chance to hang out with you since you moved, but I know that you're always passionate of what you do and you know when you love your work, it's not a work. You have a unique skill; I don't know if there is any of my other friend who can do what you do. 
Interviewee 2: You're an asset to our resort. I fully trust in your skill and I have no reservations about recommending to any of my client when choosing a photographer for their event

Interviewee 3: I've worked with you for countless shoots, there is no one else I would rather have working along side. You have so much experience and you have easy going personality so you're doing a great job. 

Interviewee 4: You're a passionate photographer. You have skills and experience to back up. You know how to use industry standard software like InDesign and Illustrator. Knowing you for my entire life, I know you pay attention to details and that is a good skill to have for being a photographer. 

Interviewee 5: I think you have patience to be a good photographer. I deal with kids all day everyday and I know they don't have the best attention sometimes. You told me you shoot a lot of family based portraits and when you have little kids, things don't go exactly as you planned. You told me many of kids like you. So you got the patience, flexibility and right personality to deal with them.

    Byung,
    Your friends speak very highly of you! I like that you (I think) included an employer like interview two; it speaks to your professional experience and your resilience under pressure. I also think it's important that you mentioned keeping your clients at ease as one of your assets. I would agree that the general client who is not a professional model would have many reservations about taking photos.

    It's very interesting that everyone you interview commented on your work skills and your photography skills too. I like that you chose people talked about your passion for being a photographer and it shows that they love the trait about you. Your post was mainly about your photography skills and experience which was great and it makes me want to book you as photographer next time I need a picture taken.

7A Testing the Hypothesis

1. The Opportunity "UF students on a budget have a hard time finding accessible, affordable, and quality photography services because the average full photography sessions are generally costly. 2. Who : UF students, mostly who are graduating soon because most of them want to take graduation photos     What : Not having a go-to photography service that fits with a student budget     Why : Because many photography services with quality photos can cost a lot. 3. The Hypothesis The who: although this is mainly targeted at students in Gainesville, families with a tight budget who may want a small family session or a small event can use the service. The what: Not every student or family would need a photography service. For graduation photoshoots, it is seasonal. The Why:  For UF students who are about to graduate, it is a very important moment in their life and many wish for professional photos of that special moment that captures who they...

8A: Solving the Problem

My solution to this opportunity is ......                    to start a local photography service that offers 20-minute mini photo sessions targeting mainly the large populations of students and graduating students in Gainesville as well as anyone else that wishes for a service that offers 5 to 10 photos for a low price. My ideal price for the service is a $50 session fee that includes 5 photos and additional photos can be purchased $10 each whereas other known local photographers only offer the normal hour-long photography service starting from $150 up to $400 just for the session alone and images are purchased separately. In this way, I've found a niche market for people who want quality photos on a student budget. The reason why photography studios charge this amount of money is that they have a physical location and employees to pay. In my case, I'm working alone, I own all of my professional equipment and editing softw...
