How Skai Began Doing Occupation Portrait Photoshoots
My journey into occupation portrait photography began with a blend of serendipity and passion for the art of capturing stories through the lens.
Initially, clients discovered my portrait photography services through my diverse portfolio. I had the privilege of working on a wide range of photography projects, from interior design to fitness photoshoots, which naturally exposed me to various aspects of the photography industry.
One pivotal moment in my transition to occupation portrait photography was a stroke of pure luck. I was initially approached for a corporate photoshoot, a request that seemed routine at the time. However, fate had it that this particular corporate shoot was to take place at the subject's workplace. The interior and props within that setting turned out to be unexpectedly captivating, adding depth and context to the portraits.
It was during this very shoot that I had an epiphany. I realised the immense power of occupation portrait photography to not only capture an individual's professional identity but also to tell a compelling narrative. The blend of the subject's workplace and my expertise in photography created one of the best occupation portrait shoots I had ever done.
Recognising the potential of this genre, I became inspired to promote occupation portrait photography. I saw how it could help my clients draw the interest of potential clients and partners. Since then, I've been passionately dedicated to crafting occupation portraits that transcend the ordinary, celebrating the extraordinary within every profession, and helping others understand and appreciate the hard work and dedication that go into each occupation. It's not just about taking pictures; it's about telling captivating stories through the art of photography.
Why Skai Loves Doing Occupation Portrait Photoshoots
Occupation portrait photography holds a special place in my heart for several compelling reasons:
Firstly, while occupation portrait photoshoots share similarities with corporate headshots, they offer a unique and captivating twist. They're like the spirited cousin of the more traditional corporate shoot.

The inclusion of interesting backgrounds that resonate with the subjects' occupations adds depth and intrigue to each image. It challenges me to think outside the box, experiment with lighting, composition and angles to bring out the essence of the profession.
More than just a visual spectacle, occupation portrait photography holds profound meaning. The results aren't just aesthetically pleasing; they're emotionally resonant. By capturing individuals in their work environments or amidst elements that define their professions, I create images that people can genuinely relate to. It's about celebrating the hard work, dedication and passion that drive these individuals in their careers.
Additionally, this genre introduces me to a rich tapestry of fascinating people from diverse trades and professions. It's an incredible opportunity to learn about the intricacies of various occupations, gain insight into the lives of professionals, and appreciate the unique stories that each person brings to the table.
In essence, I love occupation portrait photography because it combines creativity, challenge and meaning. It allows me to capture not just faces but the entire essence of a profession and in doing so, it brings the stories of these remarkable individuals to life through the lens.
