Back to Basics with Haron Haghuis - a podcast by Nicole Begley

027 - Haron Haghius's twenty years of Photoshop experience comes in handy for creating his signature dramatic pet portraits. But according to the Dutch photographer, relying on post-production is a crutch that often holds back beginners. In this episode, we discuss the importance of mastering basic shooting skills, of taking charge with clients, and why his image reveals contain as few as five photographs. 

What To Listen For: 

• The curious inverse relationship between price and client complaints
• A rule of thumb to help you cull images before sharing with clients
• Why it doesn't pay to compare your images to other photographers' work
• The beauty of hating last year's images - !!

If Haron's moody editing style inspires you to find your signature look, stay tuned to the very end for an announcement that, not gonna lie, we're pretty darn excited about!
