Role play between client and photographer

Today we sat down in a group and were given the task to engage in a role play situation. This involved me and another member of the group to act out an initial first meeting with a new potential client.

I have already had first hand experience with a couple of clients from personal recommendations to take some portraiture shots. Furthermore, I have also had the benefit of being able to engage with clients from all different companies at my current workplace on a fairly regular basis. Because of this, I felt that I had a good background to work from for this task.

I have prepared this type of exercise before in my last degree and felt that I gained valuable experience from this practice as it has already helped in many situations in everyday life and even job interviews.

Communication and the way the you are perceived by clients is extremely important and providing them with the answers they need is integral in helping to secure work.

I found the exercise both beneficial and helpful as after watching a couple of other groups I was able to pick up on and use some of the techniques that others had included in their sketch.
