Today we’d like to introduce you to Nat Chittamai.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Nat. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I bought my first camera in 2009, right after I was graduated from college. I did not have any idea or goal for photography at that time. It was just a fun hobby. Three years after that, my parents sent me to Texas to get higher education at Tarleton State University. That was when I realized that photography is my passion.
Photography became a ticket to get to know people for me. I photographed many friends and events in school, and that was how I make friends. I started to photographed all kind of free session for people such as, senior, graduation, engagement, family sessions. Those sessions became my portfolio for my business. I believe the more you give, the more you get. As a result, my photography business started from that point.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
I didn’t feel that I have struggled with photography business until it became the only source of income for me. I have learned that being a good photographer doesn’t mean your photography business will survive. There are many great photographers in DFW. They are also willing to offer a better price and package to your clients. I’ve learned that I need to build connection, do collaborations, and provide great customer services to everyone. I believe those are the keys to keep your business going.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Nat Photography story. Tell us more about the business.
I’m a wedding photographer in DFW area. I also photograph lifestyle, family, and portrait sessions. Most of my clients know me from the unposing style.
I also keep my business very simple and transparent for pricing. Clients will see what they will get for the price even before they meet up with me. I have only two wedding packages with competitive price. In short, easy and simple are what set me apart from others.
I’m very proud of my 78 five stars reviews. haha. I believe I did a good job on this!
Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
I believe luck has a role when I get to know people who are actually looking for a photographer. Referring system and connection play a significant role in my career. Most of my clients are friends, classmate, or family. They pick me from a hundred of photographer out there. I’m a lucky one!
