As a photographer I'm trying to find my calling I love all photography, but the more I shoot automotive the more I seem to notice how beautiful and better I feel about doing it. What would you do? If you look at my profile you can see I do it all but I'm trying to find what I'm better at and only comments and feedback will help me decide, thanks to all for you help.....
Are you looking for a professional industry to jump into or just a little more focus for your hobby? I'm a hobbyist but have many friends who shoot cars professionally and I could pass on what I've learned about the business side of it. But I know we have a few pros here who are probably more qualified.
I would like to do this pro, it's my dream to be a pro photographer, but like I said I've only been doing photography for 3 years and I've study everyday on every aspect of different types. I'm trying to find out what I'm best at, I feel I'm best at automotive because cars and photography are both my passions, but I love shooting all types of photos like Nature, People, Cloudscapes ,Landscapes etc. But I feel more at ease with automotive and was looking for anyone's feed back on my profile what they thought I did best! Yes I will follow my own path but feedback helps...... My dream like I said is to one day find sponsor ship on doing this professional, or go to work as an intern even at 40years old, or go to work for a magazine some day! Thank you for any help you can give me my e-mail is. Firstimpphoto@gmail.com
Thanks, bobby
Also I wanted to say that I love and live everyday to learn something new. I'll take any tricks or a better way to shoot if you can help me learn I would appreciate it very much, I'm posting some more automotive on my profile please feel free to check them out!
I'm an enthusiast but, like you, would love to go pro at some point (I consider "pro" actually selling something, even if it isn't a primary income). Like Xander said, there are pros on this site that can give you some great advice.
My opinion on what you should focus on shooting? EVERYTHING! Shoot what you love, and shoot whatever is in front of you that day. Don't box yourself in and end up being that "one trick pony." If you find yourself enjoying auto photography more then seek out more opportunities to practice that, but don't neglect the other stuff. I've found that figuring out how to shoot a classic car at an odd angle because of glare has helped me learn to get a good photo of a historical building at sunrise, and that helped me learn a new trick to photographing a sunset over the mountain. Every experience helps you grow.
The main thing is go out there and have fun with it!
Thank you Mark really appreciate it and I will.
