Exposure

I am sure I have mentioned before how time is our worst enemy, although as a photographer it is one of the most important factors we work with.

Creativity never comes with guarantees, but you have to keep trying and keep your options open

Time threw another curve ball yesterday with a gentle reminder of how quickly time had gone by.

You find shots you like but it is always great when a client sees your vision.

Being a photographer is a strange existence at times.  Very few of us lead repetitive lives, you can’t take the same photographs day in day out, so you are always meeting with new people and looking for the next shot.  Let’s be honest though how many of us re-create the wheel at all in their lives let along every day?

Some moments are longer than others and that is never more obvious than with photography.

With the general understanding of the term ‘professional’ (which actually has nothing to do with making money) skewed, my goal or ambition is to be as professional as I can be.  Not always easy when we juggle so many different balls.  But it is out there, my goal.

One thing that experience gives you is a grounding for capturing an image or at least working out the mechanics of capturing an image under most circumstances.

One of the key motivators for me is the learning process, I love to try out new things, new [for me] ideas, more opportunities to attract fresh clients.  The best way to do this I have found is to keep up with what people want.  There is still usually enough room for your individual flair though.

No photographer likes to sit still, there are always more challenges ahead.  A new market place to enter, more clients to please.

One of the more important things to keep in mind also though is that not everything goes to plan but this should not worry you, but just keep you on your toes.

The technical aspects of a shot are not always clear to see, but this does not mean the shot was simple to capture.

These images on today’s blog include some military work and some personal work but shows some of the variety we are faced with on even a weekly basis.
