What kind of photographer am I?
What kind of photographer am I? Should that be a workshop? I find that photographers tend to gravitate towards certain subjects; wildlife, people, landscapes, flowers, birds, barns. When finally I decided to pick up a camera I discovered that what I gravitated towards was lines, macro, candid photos of people and abstract images. What kind of photographer am I? This is a question I asked myself just recently when I started to notice a theme in my photographs.
What kind of photographer am I? How do we decide what it is that draws us to photograph? Is it something that just happens? Is it unconscious? Do we ask ourselves when we take up the camera - What Kind of photographer am I? Or does it just come naturally? I tell students that even if the subject is not something that interests them, they should try the workshop anyway and venture outside their comfort zone, they might find it will enhance what does interest them.
What kind of photographer am I? The kind that wants to grow and enjoy photography.
