Photoshoot Music Playlist for the ultimate confidence boost
Personally, I play music all the time while whether it’s during work, relaxing, brain-storming, cooking, cleaning… you name it! Music is an excellent tool to shift your mood in seconds, lift spirits, make you feel inspired, and most importantly to me – feel empowered and confident. Did you know that the latter ones (feeling empowered and confident) are actually the key to a successful photoshoot? Today I’m going to share with you my go-to photoshoot music playlist that will instantly boost your confidence and make you want to dance.
As a photographer, I cannot stress enough the importance of music playing during every photoshoot. Regardless of the style of a photo session – headshots, portraits, dance photography (duh!), fashion – music is a crucial component of a shoot to help my clients relax and take the edge from an awkward silence.
Let me tell you a secret: if you’re NOT 100% confident in what you do in front of the camera it will show in photos. Here’s a powerful quote from a professional dancer and performer Jason Andrew who I interviewed last year:
“If you don’t believe in yourself it will speak a thousand more words in a photo. You can see that in a quiver of a lip, you can see that in the wobble of an ankle. People aren’t gonna focus on how beautiful you look, or how well dressed you are, or ‘oh my god you just stood on a burning building!’ They would just see panic in your eyes, they will always see that.“
