Landscapes and animals are my favorites - both to shoot and to videw of other photogs. Of animals, I like both domesticated and wildlife - but have a preference for wildlife

I love to shoot people. I like to take a picture of someone and have them says, hey I look pretty good in that pic. I like make people feel better about themselves. |

I've been drawn to "travel photography" for about 20 years... doesn't mean I'm particularly good at it (which is a shame considering how long I've been plugging away at it) so much as it reflects what motivates me to take pictures... Even though I know there's just as much, if not more, for me to shoot right here where I live I just feel so much more excited and inspired when I'm travelling - I'm sure part of that is the joy of travelling itself which is a huge passion of mine. As to what constitutes a travel photograph, for me it can be anything from candid portraits, posed portraits, landscapes, architectural shots, market scenes, macros of building details or market stall offerings - in short, anything!
In more recent years I've been drawn to wildlife photography very strongly - which is a shame because it's an area where there's intense competition and a very large number of incredibly talented photographers. So it's not likely that I'll break through into the pro arena there - still I enjoy it so much I'll continue striving to improve.
I definitely think I'm getting better!

If I could, I'd be in advertising - I love doing macro and product shots.
Landscape photography is up there, too, because it helps me remember the wonderful places I have seen.
I am NOT into people photography. |

I feel the same as Telehubbie. I enjoy nature photography the most. Any aspect of it...landscape, birds, animals, flowers, macro insects. I feel most relaxed, complete almost, when I am outside with my camera chasing a butterfly or something similar. I don't get the same feeling with anything else. I will try my hand at photographing anything, and wish I was better with some other aspects of photography, but nature is where I belong! |

Not so hokey at all. I'm in this boat too. There's a relaxation and sense of re-charging that I get from trapsing around the woods and fields with the camera. I love landscapes, skyscapes, anyplace with water, nature macros - the whole bit. You see things you might never have seen othewise, there's not a big sense of urgency - you can just be there with whatever's going on and enjoy it.

That's me. Most of my photography is of people. Always has been. From photojournalism to boudior.

I found that NYC is so crowded that when I do find a shape it's usually so over ridden by people or tourists, it loses it's power or purity. I'll keep on pluggin at it.

that's the most outrageous compliment; but it's also a continuation - if I have a personal style it's down to trying to imitate a couple of photographers (in the main JJ and Tony Ray-Jones), and then getting it slightly wrong.

Tony Ray-Jones...???
He was so awesome in The Fugitive and Men In Black. Hey, he's no Charles Bronson but he can still hold his own.
Ed, when it comes down to immitation I pretty consistently get it wrong. Hopefully, on occasion...we hold our own.
Cheers!

No, not that Tony, this Tony. Dead aged 31, but otherwise he would be one of the great elder statesmen of photography by now.

I like perception shots. Just toying with unusual layouts, perspective angles, or situations.
