Love the episode? Send me a text & tell me.You’re very excited to photograph that chocolate cake.You set up the camera and start shooting.You set aside an hour.. but now it’s already been 2 hours.The kids are ready to pounce on it.The ganache is beginning to dry up...and you’re tired.Plus you’re wondering why it took so long, why it took more time than anticipated?Are you missing something?Why are others so quick?Are you not efficient enough?Perhaps you lack skill.sound familiar?This happened to me a lot in the beginning and I continued to stay in the rabbit hole for a long time. Which is why, in this week’s episode I’m sharing with you possible reasons you might be taking more time to shoot than anticipated. I’m sharing personal experiences & also scenarios from other other photographers shared with me  over the years. I explain why we possibly take longer for a photoshoot and what we can do about it.It is very easy to beat ourselves up and compare our process with others but the truth is that there are many factors that add extra time to a shoot. Some factors are within our control and some are not. Recognising & acknowledging these contributing factors allows us to focus on what’s important & not listen to the voices in our head.Understand why that chocolate cake took so long to shoot so that the next time you’re shooting you know exactly what to expect, including the time. Don’t go down that rabbit hole. ​ Read more at https://myfoodlens.comFollow Dyutima on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dyutima_myfoodlens/Show notes available at https://myfoodlens.com/3-reasons-your-photoshoots-are-taking-longer/Free photography guide - https://myfoodlens.ck.page/yourfreeguide
