One of the reasons I become involved in photography was the fact of an instant reaction to your work. Whether you publish your work online or show it to the customer you know straight away if you did a good job. And if you did - the customer reaction becomes priceless. It can be a small tear in a bride eye or a smile on mother's face looking at her child photograph. Whatever it is - is deeply rewarding and motivating. Paycheck helps, too, but I treasure these rare moments much more.
Now, this may not be modest on my side, but here are two recent feedbacks I have received :
Hello Pawel,
I just wanted to take a moment to tell you what a great job i think you did of the kids graduation. I am Sebastian's mum and would like to let you know that some of the pictures you took are really beautiful and I think we are all going to struggle with only buying one and that's just of my own child!! Well done and thank you.
Kind regards,
Tamara
