Emotive portraiture for me.

People. I like the interaction, the do-it now bit.

I don't have the patience for landscapes and wildlife- wait for the sun or clouds or the deer to look your way or a foggy morning. No way.
I don't like shooting sports either, not at all. It's people, but there is no interaction. It's like shooting wildlife.

Macro interests me, but I don't have a macro lens.
Architectural interests me too, as do products, but but good product photography is not easy (at least for a beginner). I find it easier to light people than things. It may be a visualization thing as much as anything else.

I do childrens portraiture for a living. I like to do landscapes, sports action - especially motorsport - and wildlife. Also I quite enjoy doing night photography, mostly night landscapes though.

That description doesn't do it justice. Your portraits are emotionally ambiguous. It is something beyond emotion that you capture, as though you have found a calm place near the center of a person's being from which we can see so much more than a single expression or gesture.

Long time I thought about what kind of photographer I could call myself. I guess "Freelance" is the best what describes me right now.

Here is what I want to do. I want to be able to go out, anywhere, take pictures, of anything, and sell them to various magazines or newspapers.

Besides that, I would like to be able to take studio pictures of models for commercials.

I don't want to be journalists nor wedding photographer but money in those two most likely, and I started that way. Not that I don't like them, it is fun to take photo for any occasion.

Thank you for that huge compliment and thoughtful elaboration. Wow.

What type of photography? Hmm, depends on who you ask.

Family and Friends: 10.0
DPC: 5.0167

But the real answer is "Evolving Photography". Meaning, ever since I joined DPC, I'm changing the way I take photos....for the better. I'm trying to dip into a little of everything.

Landscape and macro (which probably explains my DPC success). Bold, saturated colors. Long exposures. Seascapes.

It's my cross to bear.

I don't really know how to answer it either. I'm finding that my passion is NOT portraits or event photography. I don't enjoy photographing people all that much. I like nature and artistic photography. The kind of things you would hang on your wall as an art piece. I don't know how to make money with that sort of thing really, but I enjoy taking those sorts of photos!

I preatty much soley photograph animals. I really dont think that im a very good photographer, I just work with animals so much that I know how to capture the emotion of the animal not just a pretty shot, and thats all that gets me by.
