2017 and beyond

The team at Exordium are experiencing a few changes.

Averaging 5 weddings a year for the last 3 years did bring out a certain level of burnout on my part.

This has been well and truly overcome.

Weddings always presented the challenge of compromises.

Both in the character of some party members, and in particular time constraints.

But the problem all along was me. I lacked the confidence to take control.

But the confidence of finally realising the images in my head has brought out a new level of excitement.

The doubts of comparing myself on an international stage still haunt me, I will continue to grow, refine my editing style and present 1st class images.

I have realised we dont need a helicopter ride to the top of a mountain, travel to the lakes district or some other exotic location.

Give me a weedy paddock, a dusty gravel road, and I will show you magic.

30 minutes on the way to tea is all I need. Trust thy photographer.

Going forward, this means a few things.
I will be posting more previews.

It is becoming too hard to pick and choose only a few images.

The pricing structure will continue to evolve.

If you value what I do, then that will be reflected in our negotiation.

We will still cater towards the budget end of the spectrum, I enjoy what I do too much to dismiss clients with finiacial constraints.

Potentially Exordium will start publishing more of my creative work.

I have always drawn a line between the arty 'practise sessions' where I refine my art and the public formal shoots where that knowledge is put to use.

Scared of being labelled a 'friends and family' photographer I have kept allot private.

This I have come to realise this hasnt helped me develop the person I want to be.

Exordium means beginning, I have only just started.
