Fear of facing the camera? How to overcome it for your professional photo session - UK Portrait photographer

July 19, 2020

After all:

  • I’m not photogenic…

  • I am shy…

  • I feel uncomfortable in front of the camera…

  • I am worried I am not able to express myself during the photo session
