What are your superpowers?
The interviewer wants to know where your strengths lie. By asking about superpowers, it is designed to be a fun, casual version of the classic strengths/weaknesses question.
The goal is to answer the question with your personal brand promise. Think about what you are known for and where you excel compared to your peers. Share how you use those superpowers to do great work.
Your answer is an opportunity to stand out from the other candidates. This question gives the interviewer a short list of your strongest attributes. The interviewer will likely leave your session categorizing you based on your answer to this question and their first impressions.
I think of myself as having two superpowers - curiosity and patience. Both of these help me to do my best work as a photographer. My curiosity prompts me to ask important questions and investigate why my client needs something and what they want to accomplish. My patience allows me to handle revisions well. Sometimes clients have a hard time communicating what they like or don't like about image selection or editing. Being patient with the process helps me do my best work and helps them get what they need from my photography work.
