My name is Juliane Falk and I’m a 23 year old photographer from Amsterdam.
I followed an education in photography for four years and after that I started freelancing fulltime. I’ve been doing freelance work for a little more than three years now.
I now use a Canon 5D mark 3 because it gives you beautiful results.
During high school I had to do a mini-internship. I googled some creative professions and the profession photographer popped up. Thereafter, I did an internship at an independent photographer in Rotterdam. She was in her twenties and already had her own business. She had really exciting projects and nice clients every day. After that experience, I decided to study photography at Grafisch Lyceum in Rotterdam.
Hmm haha, I surely did gain a lot of experience, but I learned the most during my one year internship at Richard Terborg. The study was sometimes quite long-winded. Nowadays you can make it pretty far without an education.
It kind of depends on which job I have. For instance I did a job for Nike where I had to follow bloggers for three days long. In that case, I always have my camera with me. When I have a ‘normal shoot’ I leave my camera at the hotel when I don’t necessarily need it.
I often photograph people I already know and a lot of the models have become friends overtime. I think giving feedback is a lot easier when you already know that person because both persons know they can tell each other when something bothers them.
Some type of connection or understanding. You have to be on the same page to start working together.
Rihanna!
You need to have an interesting appearance, not just a pretty face. Most of the times I scout my models through Instagram. I have a file on my laptop in which I write down the names when I come across a cool model. When I’m looking for a model for a shoot this is the first file I go through.
When you’re a photographer it’s really important to make people feel at ease and create a nice environment during a shoot. If you don’t do this it will always shine through in your photo’s.
I think one of my strong points is that I’m capable of bonding with someone quite quickly and make them feel at ease, one of my weaknesses is that I could be a little more business-oriented sometimes.
I’m a real fan of new technology and love taking a look at the newest cameras.
The internet has a really big influence on my career. My Instagram kind of became my portfolio and through that a lot of people visit my website. This brings in a lot of new jobs. Without the internet I wouldn’t know how to promote my work.
I still see myself as an independent photographer, maybe even with a couple of employees. One thing I know for sure is that I will be traveling a lot for big assignments.
To work really hard, to take risks and to not shy away from small numbers when you just start off! These are the things I always try to tell my interns.
