Adding Video to Your Portfolio with Dorte

Feeling hesitant about adding video to your photography? In this cozy episode, I chat with Dorte, a Danish-born family photographer who makes it feel doable. From her Northamptonshire-Leicestershire home, she shares how a maternity leave redundancy led her to capture authentic family moments. With 15 years of experience, Dorte suggests starting small with your current gear—like a variable density filter—and embracing raw, unpolished footage that captures life’s real charm.

Dorte’s warmth shines as she talks about crafting family films and quick marketing reels while raising two boys. Her simple tips, like WhatsApp clips or social media hacks, make video approachable. Using just a monopod and a bold mindset, she shows how to dive into reels and TikTok. This episode is a heartfelt nudge for photographers to start creating lasting memories.
