Learn all about Yanair Photography in this informative and inspiring in-depth interview.
Describe your business. We are Shamane and Jermain a husband and wife team based in Historic Savage Mills, Maryland where our studio is located. Yanair focuses on all aspects of photography and videography. We specialize in a moment-driven approach media, creating candid, natural images that capture the true essence of each event from wedding, fashion to family photography. Every time we take an image, it’s a new experience, a new excitement that helps the clients bring out their inner happiness!
What did you do before starting your business in the wedding industry? Before starting in the wedding industry I did wireless networking IT stuff for the government. It was pretty cool at one point, as I was able to travel the country installing wireless intrusion detection devices at various air traffic control towers at major airports.
How long have you been in the wedding industry? We have had the pleasure to do weddings for over four years now. For us, we thought it was best we learn multiple specialties in photography before approaching weddings.
How would you describe your style? Our style is really moment-driven with a contemporary foundation. But this day and age, we believe you should be able to change your style at a moment’s notice based on the client. For instance, if we do a wedding at a venue with an industrial feel we would not edit the images the same way as a wedding at a vineyard.
What motivates you? We are motivated by the challenge to completely blow every client’s mind away by the media we deliver. Weddings can be very difficult if you don’t pay attention. Our team fully understands this and it really makes for a smooth day for the clients and us. Currently we seem to make clients happy, however we still have daily conversations on how to fine tune the wedding day to make things even better.
Why should brides/grooms choose you? Brides & Grooms should choose Yanair Photography because we pay attention and we care. We try to be as social as we can be while doing our jobs. We welcome any challenge they throw at us. Almost all of our clients stay with us because we also offer other photo-services.
How does your company define and measure success? We measure it by our Bride & Groom’s happiness at the end of the wedding day. The fact that we can maintain long term relationships with our clients means everything.
What do you enjoy most about your work? What we enjoy most is the conversations leading up to the wedding, to hear all of the details from our Brides & Grooms and then seeing it in person is amazing!
Describe a proud moment while working in the wedding industry. A proud moment for us is when we were accepted to Munaluchi Bridal as a wedding vendor! It is truly an honor.
What’s the best compliment you’ve received for your work? The best compliments I have received was during a wedding from the Father of the Bride, he told me that we were the best investment he made for his daughter’s wedding. This meant a lot because different generations view images differently. On a lighter note, one of the Bridemaids said, “Wow! You take great pictures!” Usually we get, “wow nice camera!” (photographers will understand that joke.)
What are your business goals? Our next business goal is to be the BEST wedding media company in Maryland. We have a long way to go, but we will work for it.
What’s your favorite part of the wedding industry? Our favorite part is two things; Shamane likes the cake, plain and simple; for me, I love bothering DJ’s about their gadgets – they have so many buttons to push it’s amazing!
What’s your least favorite part of the wedding industry? The least favorite part about the wedding industry was starting out. As most photographers can attest, it’s hard to find clients initially who trust you. But you will and once you do, don’t mess up!
Describe your vision of the “perfect” wedding. Shamane and I got married in 2015 at the George Peabody Library in Baltimore MD, we already had our dream wedding. Each and every single wedding is a couples’ dream wedding and we approach it that way. We can say we haven’t been to a wedding we didn’t like.
Where do you find the most inspiration? We find inspiration in each other. The fact we can sit and chat about ways to constantly push our limits is so valuable. Like they say, two brains are better than one.
Is there anything else you’d like our readers to know? We do it all, from Pro Sports, Maternity, Newborns, Cake Smashes, Family Portraits & all types of video media. Thank you for reading!

A simple question: “What salary would you like to receive?” But the answer helps the interviewer understand your motivation: money, social guarantees, work schedule, etc. If you are asked whether you had conflicts with management and how you resolved them, then most likely the HR manager wants to know if you are inclined to take responsibility or are used to shifting it onto others.

To become a talented photographer, you need talent and the right tools. I really want to become a famous photographer and am going to make my first exhibition of my photos. But at the moment I’m picking my best shots, convert jpg to pdf https://img-converter.com/en/convert/jpg-to-pdf/ , processing to suppress noise. I hope that many people will like my Images.

I loved your pictures. I’m sorry I didn’t know about you when I was preparing for my wedding. You need to promote your services so that as many people as possible know about you. You can do emails. Proofy https://proofy.io/bulk-email-verification-service/ will help you find and verify the email addresses of recipients. They should know about you. You can make people happier

Added to this always prepare questions for the interviewer. It is best to come to the interview with smart and intelligent questions for the interviewer as this will demonstrate your knowledge of the company and how serious you are. At some point the interviewer will ask if you have any questions and you should have one or two ready. I’ve been researching the Nigerian police recruitment portal https://www.topnigerianjobs.com/nigeria-police-recruitment-npf/ my friend wants to apply for the Nigerian police job.

There is no better way to go for an interview other than getting yourself prepared before time just like I always advise students seeking admission to always visit the best school news portal https://www.studymaterials.com.ng/category/school-news/ before applying for any school. With an depth knowledge of what the interview looks like definitely the interview will be an easy one.
