I'm a stuttering photographer. No shame about it! My name is Adley Haywood and I'm a stuttering photographer. I've been doing photography on the side for about 4 years now and I have always struggled with my stutter. I use to let clients know of my stutter beforehand but now they find out when we have the shoot. Most clients don't even care because they are understanding and it doesn't interfere with the quality of their photos. Recently I collaborated with a fellow photographer to film a "ugly location challenge". I was so nervous in the beginning of the video but as time went on, I forgot the camera was there filming because I was doing what I love. DO NOT LET YOUR STUTTER GET YOU DOWN! Most people are understanding once you let them know you struggle with it. Keep your head up and let your voice be heard! Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWsAMuNReXo
