Model Tiara, Photog Ron, Shot by Bob Warren

We were having an open house at my studio and I asked a photographer, “What do you shoot?”

His answer? “Canon.”

I kind of laughed and said, “No, I meant what are your subjects.”

People, we don’t shoot cameras, we shoot landscapes, or models, or cars, or pickles.

During Frederik Van Johnson’s interview we talked about how people get caught up in the manufacturer debates, and how unimportant that was. One guy put on his name tag “I’m a Nikon”. He was a nice guy and obviously very into photography, but dude, you camera brand matters squat.

Please people say what you shoot. Or like to shoot. Or want to shoot.

It may be you shoot one thing – like weddings or flowers – but what you really want to shoot is something else – like models. Answer that. “I mostly shoot landscapes, but I’m getting into shooting models.”

You may have to shoot lots of different things before you find the thing that is it for you, but I doubt that thing is camera bodies.
