In the competitive field of photography, assertiveness can be your edge. It's not just about having a great eye or the latest gear; it's about confidently showcasing your work, negotiating contracts, and setting boundaries. Your assertiveness demonstrates to clients and peers alike that you value your work and are serious about your career. This attitude can lead to more opportunities, better pay, and the respect you deserve in the industry. Remember, being assertive doesn't mean being aggressive. It's about clear, confident communication and standing up for your artistic vision and professional worth.

1 Know Your Worth

Understanding and believing in the value of your work is fundamental. As a photographer, you bring a unique perspective and skill set to the table. When you're aware of this, it becomes easier to communicate your worth to potential clients. Assertiveness in this context means being able to articulate why your work stands out and why it deserves the price tag you've put on it. It's about negotiating fair rates and not settling for less than what your work merits. This self-assured approach will help you build a reputation as a professional who delivers quality and values their craft.

When you know what is your worth you set certain boundaries and attract these Clients who want to have photographs TAKEN BY YOU and you only. Otherwise you would be attracting people who seek price.

2 Set Boundaries

Setting clear boundaries is essential for maintaining a professional relationship with clients. Assertiveness in setting terms for how and when you work prevents misunderstandings and ensures that you are not taken advantage of. It might involve specifying your availability, turnaround times, or payment terms. By being upfront about these matters, you can avoid overcommitment and resentment, which can damage professional relationships. Your clients will respect you more for it, and you'll have better control over your workflow and personal life.

Set clear boundaries. I refuse to work with women since they are low quality clients. They perceive me as a MAN not as PHOTOGRAPHER. Intuition is another good tool. Sometimes I meet someone and decide I do not want to work with this person since I simply do not like him.

3 Speak Up

In meetings or client interactions, your voice is your most powerful tool. Speaking up about your ideas and concerns is a sign of an assertive photographer. If there's a particular shot you want to take or a creative direction you want to explore, make your case with conviction. Similarly, if a client's request doesn't align with your brand or ethics, it's important to communicate that firmly and respectfully. Assertiveness here means having the confidence to express your professional opinion and knowing that it holds value.

When I work for big big companies they often establish some kind of boards to discuss my work as project progresses. I always demand 51% votes in the board.

4 Network Confidently

Networking is crucial in the photography industry, but it requires assertiveness. Attending industry events and engaging with peers online are opportunities to showcase your personality and work. When networking, confidently introduce yourself and discuss your photography without hesitation. This doesn't mean dominating conversations or being pushy, but rather being willing to step out of your comfort zone to make meaningful connections. People remember those who stand out, so be memorable for your confidence and poise.

Network only with people that would get you where you want to get. Never network with people who would want something from you just to gain something.

5 Market Boldly

Marketing your photography is not the time to be timid. Assertiveness in marketing means putting your work out there boldly and with confidence. This includes having a strong online presence with a portfolio that showcases your best work, actively engaging with your audience on social media, and reaching out to potential clients or collaborators. The goal is to be seen and remembered, and that requires a proactive approach. Let your assertive marketing reflect the passion and dedication you have for your craft.

Its important that every piece of content you share online is written from your perspective, voice and personality. Talk the way you would talk to a client in real life. Remember, as a photographer, you’re also in the business of building relationships, which means that in order to attract those that resonate with your work, they also need to resonate with your personality. They want to know that a healthy rapport can materialize between you two while shooting. As a result, avoid copying and pasting someone else’s storytelling style because that’s not how you communicate your expertise. There’s only one you, so own it.

Marketing is a strong part of photographer's work. Present your best works in your marketing effort. In this way you would attract best Clients. Set price to eliminate low price seekers.

6 Handle Criticism

In photography, like any art form, criticism is inevitable. Handling criticism assertively means listening to feedback without taking it personally and using it to grow. When faced with negative comments, respond professionally and consider if there's any constructive element you can take away. Assertiveness also means standing by your work when criticism is unfounded, explaining your creative choices with confidence. This approach shows that while you are open to learning, you also trust in your artistic vision.
