Know Your Style

My most recent shoot with a paid client I came to realize the full description of my style. I'm very outside the box and when you work with me I expect that you are pretty much willing to do anything to get the shot right (although, I would never ask for anything dealing with nudes, making the subject completely uncomfortable, or just make things awkward)... but if you're wanting to model, and you're working with a photographer that mainly focuses on location shoots like myself, you should be willing to do some of the craziest things to get the perfect shots. Standing on high platforms, climbing on logs/trees, getting dirty a little bit... none of it should ever come to surprise you. If you don't like that line of work, then stick with studio work. In my opinion though, no matter what side of the industry you are in, you will never get anywhere if you aren't willing to scrape the barrel and roll with it sometimes.

So to describe my style in photography, I WILL do practically anything to get the perfect shot and I always try to expand my portfolio with something completely new that I didn't have before. I use a lot of natural lighting and try to capture the true beauty of the photograph no matter what the subject may be by tying in the environment around it. I try to use photoshop at a minimum because I believe in capturing the truth of the world around us (of course, sometimes conceptual images are just as captivating). Black and white photography has always been one of my deepest favorites just because of the beautiful expression in the contrasting shades of light and dark almost tell a story of their own. All photographers have their own way of doing things, and seeing things, and when your choosing who to work with you should get to know each other and know their style. Know what your looking for and don't be afraid to step out of the box otherwise, you'll always find yourself in the same place you started.
