what is your specialty?
I think the reason why there is alot of different perspectives of how business should be done is because of the type of photography or modeling they specialize in. Some models and photographers do strictly glamour, some do strictly fashion, some do fetish, some do nudes, some do commercial. So I just wanted to know, from both models and photographers, what do you specialize in? That way, we know where the person is coming from and why they think the way they do. May 15 05 07:48 pm Link I specialize in scotch. And I have a minor in smoking. I've spent a lot of time in the sack, but I've still got a long ways to go. May 15 05 07:53 pm Link Posted by BlacklistVisual: I specialize in being a jerk, now answer the question fucker! lol May 15 05 07:55 pm Link Posted by * Visual Mindscapes *: Posted by BlacklistVisual: I specialize in being a jerk, now answer the question fucker! lol Alternative and goth type glamour, fashion, and nude. Unfortunately I've only had one really good photographer that could shoot that stuff and get the type of feel i want. But the pinup style, plain fashion, and lingerie, is definately not my thing. May 15 05 07:57 pm Link Artglamfetishfemmefatale. Oh, that and roller derby sports photography. May 15 05 07:58 pm Link Nudes and pet grooming. lol NUDE PET GROOMING !!! lol May 15 05 07:58 pm Link I specialize art nudes. I also do some fetish fahion. Glamour is pretty much reserved for the right price tag. And being a jackass. May 15 05 07:59 pm Link Posted by Venus: What kind of pet grooming? Kittys? May 15 05 07:59 pm Link I specialize in guitar. Photography makes more money.  May 15 05 08:06 pm Link Posted by Steve Mills: How about guitar photography? May 15 05 08:07 pm Link Guess I would be classified as Modern Glamour with a hint of Fashion. I also do a lot of artistic work (ie:lightpainting). However, im changing it up this summer. Keep an eye out for it. May 15 05 08:11 pm Link No, I don't do a lot of pussy cats but I groom tons of doggies. May 15 05 08:22 pm Link Posted by * Visual Mindscapes *: Posted by Steve Mills: How about guitar photography? Is this what you had in mind? May 15 05 08:25 pm Link I get a lot of requests for nudes (as a model) so some people must think that's my specialty. But I reserve the nude-taking for Hugh because even though my body still looks hot in other GWC's cameras...the photos don't! HA HA! Yeah, I am trying to discipline myself and stick to swimwear/lingerie/fashion. As a photog, I will shoot models for sure, I have my own dreamy style that has a lot to do with color. I love color. I also like to do editorial-type stuff. Real people, real scenes from life. When taking a photo I want to see vivid color, dreaminess, and symbolism. May 15 05 08:36 pm Link I specialize in selling out. I believe I have found a niche for myself, taking whatever picture I'm told to take by a client. On a personal level, I like to specialize in taking macro pictures of open wounds. Any volunteers? May 15 05 08:45 pm Link I like to say I specialize in not specializing. I don't want to get stuck having to do a certain type of photography. May 15 05 08:54 pm Link Posted by Brian Kim: Well then, what type of client work do you usually deal with? Just answer the question, sheesh! May 15 05 08:57 pm Link Posted by Joel Riner: How does specializing in something make you stuck in only a certain type of photography? Okay, here's a more simple question for you. What do you like to shoot? May 15 05 08:59 pm Link Speciality? Well, I am somewhat of an expert on the Southern Oracle. It is my scientific spec-ial-ity. (another movie reference many of you may not get) Other than that, I'll tell you what I like to shoot and what I don't. I like to shoot: [list] [*]Fashion [*]Artsy Digital Composities that look real. [*]Erotica/Nudes [*]Edgy Portraits [/list] I do not shoot: [list] [*]Weddings [*]Actor Headshots [*]Live Concerts [*]Proms/Parties/Etc. [*]Inanimate Products [/list] I've had the benefit of shooting for MANY years. So I have shot ALL of those things and learned what I enjoy and what I hate. May 15 05 09:05 pm Link My specialty is proving the girl next door is drop dead gorgeous!! (:-- May 15 05 09:12 pm Link Posted by Hugh Jorgen: Isn't she only 16? May 15 05 09:13 pm Link Glamour - mainly because it is all anyone around here actually wants..... everyone wants to look pretty in lingerie... Well accept me... May 15 05 09:25 pm Link Posted by * Visual Mindscapes *: Posted by Hugh Jorgen: Isn't she only 16? She is only 13 1/2 (:-- May 15 05 09:32 pm Link Posted by Hugh Jorgen: Posted by * Visual Mindscapes *: Posted by Hugh Jorgen: Isn't she only 16? She is only 13 1/2 (:-- Hmmm...I can't get it straight either--wasn't she 13 1/2 then and 16 now? May 15 05 09:37 pm Link It's (historically for me, anyway) the exciting world of engines, cars, heavy equipment, parts; "stuff," and sports with the occasional person thrown in. I've more recently been shooting in the fitness industry (Bodybuilders, fitness and figure competitors, both male and female) for magazine and catalog work. May 15 05 09:47 pm Link I specialize in erotic art: exploring the space where skin, sensation and emotion meet to define what being human means. May 15 05 09:53 pm Link I shoot mostly glamour nudes in the studio, so I guess that's what I specialize in. I also like to shoot dark artsy nudes using available light in unusual settings, but that's really just for my own enjoyment, unless a model decedes she wants that look for her portfolio. I have also shot concerts, architecture and products for clients, and would like to do more if given the opportunity. Outside of photography, I specialize in playing keyboards in an 80's band and being a complete wise-ass. May 15 05 10:22 pm Link RETRO/PINUP, RETRO FETISH (POP ART?) PHOTOGRAPHY.......... May 15 05 10:38 pm Link moving more to commercial print, editorial print and catalog work. i've done lots of glamour and artistic nudes. also do events..like that damn "drowning pool" concert..my ears are still ringing... May 15 05 10:45 pm Link Specialize?! What the hell is that? Just light it and shoot! Give it a title later! LOL Vance May 15 05 11:33 pm Link As a model...I think mine would be fetish As a photographer mine would be urban decay >. May 15 05 11:35 pm Link Posted by BlacklistVisual: :::Reese gets wide eyed::: May 16 05 07:32 am Link Posted by Hugh Jorgen: Posted by * Visual Mindscapes *: Posted by Hugh Jorgen: Isn't she only 16? She is only 13 1/2 (:-- Uh oh... I feel a major censor war about to start... May 16 05 07:36 am Link Posted by Hugh Jorgen: ROFLMAO May 16 05 10:05 am Link Well this past month I specialize in breaking computers not all my fault though, One of my macs was built wrong.(letters being written. I have two down and two more hard drives down. I am visiting today on a 603 chip. Fun, fun, fun. Waiting for my computers to be rebuilt. I specialize in thinking outside the box. If you want colors perfect and to match then maybe I am not the guy. (I would hire a great assistant when I need to do so.) But I can get at things both idea wise and technically better than many. Wild stuff that I am not ready to put on the web. More art than commercial or fashion. Fashion and jewelry for the money. Jewelry otherwise I am also not the guy for a normal still life shot. ======== I just gave my chow her summer cut this past weekend. Anybody want to buy a bag a hair. I am often jealous that dogs can lick themselves. Well, female dogs anyway. Though I always tell my dog to stop, I am such a hypocrite sometimes. ----------------------------------------------------- PS I do not write nasty much but then I am glad, very glad that I do not have to write for a audience of five year olds here. If you are then I do not believe you even belong on such a site. period. Or maybe such a site could set up a wild section for almost anything goes such as talk, all out cage match battles on issues, but no shaming people. Again, I do not talk that way much but many creative people do. Would I want my Jewelry clients to see this writing--NO , I would not. But then I do not show everything to everybody. Oh, yes and I specialize in the Blah, Blah, blah, as many of you know already. May 16 05 10:45 am Link Art nudes, and artistic portraiture, branching out now and trying my hand more in a few sub-categories of fetish-alt, would love to get into more retro-pin up, and doing erotic nudes...mountains and clouds and trees are fun too May 16 05 11:28 am Link My speciality of the day is a delicious Chicken Marsala combined with a wonderful house salad lightly flavored with a sweet dressing (chef's secret recipe), and for dessert Creme Brulee topped with whipped creme and fresh berries - oh yes, and your choice of any sauvignon blanc (outstanding choice to compliment your dining experience) or a pinot noir (known for is "complexity" for those who enjoy a little something more than average....) May 16 05 01:54 pm Link I specialize in lingerie and figure. May 16 05 01:59 pm Link Digital editing and art. I also love work on retro/vintage and alternative/goth stuff. May 16 05 01:59 pm Link |
