A bit about me ☺️ (feel free to introduce yourself in the comments) I’m Roberta, photographer & 2023 Lightroom Ambassador (I’ll keep saying this because damn I’m proud!) 
 Life for me is all about “zest” and passion. In Italian I’d say “ci metto l’anima” (put my soul into what I do). I love gin, pizza, chocolate, cats, music, color brown (but also blue), “vintage vibes” and many other things. I also love Japan and left my heart there. I’m an incurable nostalgic and romantic, always dwelling in the cocoon of memories (I tattooed that): something photography beautifully allows, by capturing moments, making them timeless :) Quick facts, because I know you are busy: - I’m versatile and can shoot from food, to cats, to street. And I like that a lot. - When I’m not photographing, I’m teaching photography, or watching movies. - One of my superpowers is storytelling: I can effortlessly use the right “tools” to create for brands authentic images that not only capture everything the brand is about, but also help boost sales and connect better with customers. 
 - Another superpower of mine is quickly finding a point of connection with people and make them feel at ease. Thanks to my past as a shy person I know what it takes eheh So hey, expect not just great photos for your brand, but also a relaxed and enjoyable experience when we collaborate (lol I know I look very serious in this video) Whether you’re a future client or aspiring photographer, expect a blend of punctuality, precision, and a commitment to meeting expectations EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Are you a photographer? The above is also what you’ll get, together with obsession with getting you tangible results. I’ll make things easy for you: my email is business@robertadallalba.com, so if you need help you know where to find me. #ThroughRobertasLens

We’ve all known (or, be honest, have been) that person who can’t start a hobby or project until we have all the right gear. Not just me? Great, let’s keep going. 👇 In photography (which I used to do a lot of) people say “the best camera is the one you have with you”. Usually it’s an experienced photographer talking to a young aspiring photographer who is excited about gear. Back when there were camera stores and we didn’t have cameras with us 24/7. 🦕 It’s a smart asp way of saying “if you’re taking bad pictures, it ain’t the camera”. But it’s also a way of saying “Don’t overthink it. Just go take pictures. If want to get started, just start. Worry about fancy equipment later.” And this applies to the customers that you want to help. You have prospective customers out there who feel like they can’t get started because they don’t know everything they need to know or have everything they need to have. Sometimes they’re right. But sometimes they’re wrong. Like with the camera. Either way, one of the most effective things that marketing can do with content is what those experienced photographers did. Come alongside people who have problems you can help them solve and, when they’re hung up on something that they think they need to do or get first, say “Hey, don’t overthink it. We can help you figure this out.” #donotpassgofriction #frictionfactors -- Need to work on Friction in your purchase decision?

Innovate or die: Years ago when I started a wedding photography company with my wife there were quite a few well established wedding photographers in my area that had learned using film. Many of them were upset that the advent of digital cameras had begun to take some of the skill out of photography. While I can understand this sentiment, digital cameras were and are the future. No matter how they felt about them, they would have to deal with new and inexperienced photographers never having to experience the difficulties of film photography. Now we are in 2024, where things like AI and ChatGPT are starting to take some of the skill out of creativity. You can easily fix uninteresting photos. You don’t have to be skilled at writing copy. AI can assist you in incredible ways. If you’re a creative, you have to understand that there will always be new technology that will allow less experienced people to tap into your market. You have a choice: Innovate or die.

I love being a lifestyle Photographer, some say it’s too generic but how I work, it means adding life and a story to otherwise sterile and boring pack shots. Now, no one wants to be outwardly sold to, if I see hashtag ad, my finger scrolls so fast I get screen burn. I know it’s hard because as a business you obviously need to sell products, so lifestyle photography is the way to go, as your audience are more likely to engage. Please no with those weird stock photo ones ( no one is that happy) I think the higher ups pick those kind of shots because they are so happy with their own supply. You need an ad that doesn’t look like an ad. A pin that actually looks more like a inspirational setting that someone wants to add to their board. A TikTok video with one dedicated spokesperson that the audience can relate to. Lifestyle content is easier to repurpose, reuse and recycle, as a business if you only take one thing from this ramble is…no one actually cares but you, so make your desired audience the main character. #londonphotographer #socialcontentstrategy

The success of a photoshoot always hinged on the interaction between photographer and model to me, regardless of context. It could be a corporate headshot, a commercial campaign or a couples session, what makes or breaks the end result is how well both parties jive with each other, from communication to vibe. When it comes to AI "shoots", do we still speak of interaction (between subject and photographer), or is everything now relegated to interfacing (between subject and machine)? Is there still a middleperson involved? Will photographers become graphic designers in this case? And if the subject no longer active during the process, what will we use as metric to speak of a successful outcome? #ai #portraits #musings
