Outdoor Adventure Photographer
I'm not a landscape photographer, but I'm often
shooting spectacular landscapes with people interacting with those
landscapes. It's two-fold. What is your subject or person going to be
doing. What is the landscape going to provide in terms of a
background and light to play and paint with?

Wedding Photographer, Branding/Marketing Expert
There is no one big secret to success. Every little
thing you do, you do as though it were the one big thing. If you pay
attention to all the little details and treat them as if they're as
important as anything else, that leads up to a whole package of
success.

Wedding Photographer
One of the things that hit me early on, you have to
know as a photographer what you want to say--too many photographers
don't have anything to say. That's always stayed with me. Whenever I'm

planning, and marketing. I really am enjoying what I'm doing right

really the voice of the customer.

I really love the kind of work that shines a light on

world and in some way helping to empower women in countries where
they're not empowered.

If you're going to be expressionistic with your

Wedding Photographer
My style is all about anticipation. Compared to
others, I capture relatively few images at weddings. I like to see a
picture, set the composition and angle relative to the light, and then
wait for something to happen within that picture.

Fine Art and Commercial Photographer
I tend to gravitate towards people and moments that
have a balance of raw and quirky elements to them. My style is pretty
clean and straight forward with classic elements and an unexpected
twist. I am really drawn to action and love capturing the moment,
whatever the moment is.

Editorial and Documentary Photographer
Experience is so important with photography. There's
a lot of stress involved with being a documentary photographer. All of
the projects have been self-inspired. Much of the work has to do with
making contacts and talking people into something they may not want to
do...

Documentary Photographer and Writer Team
Our business is constantly changing. If it doesn't,
we are out of business. A big part of our income comes from stock
photos. The rest is from editorial assignments and a small bit comes
from corporate shoots, for companies, which I feel are not too evil.
