As a working photographer, I would like to share ideas from other photographers in the hopes of creating a resource to inspire, educate and motivate.
Creatives ~
There are others in the world drawing from personal sources. I would like to share their work with hopes of inspiring myself and pushing others to find their own voice.
Technical ~
Learn the technical mumbo-jumbo and take control of your medium. It's OK if it controls you and sometimes it will. Just know how to take the lead when necessary. Browse some of the links and tutorials that I find. Some may seem elementary to the working stiffs out there. But working stiffs had to start somewhere, right?
Craftsmanship ~
It's not a dirty word. We have a skill set that others may seek out from time to time. It's not always about being an 'artist' or 'genius' though that's what some clients say they want. It's about combining a vision (whether it be yours or your client's) with a fairly complicated piece of technology with many buttons and gadgets in order to create a commercially viable product. Sometimes it is as simple as that.
Business ~
Marketing, networking, taxes, web presence, more clients, more clients… If you’re like me this is how you pay the bills but some photographers are more savvy than others. I hope to share their experience to help us all get there too.Personal ~
I may from time to time include my own personal work because after all, I am a photographer too. We are voyeurs of the world just as much as we are exhibitionists. It happens. Jump to the next thread if my work bores you. We all don't share the same tastes and that's a good thing!
