Hello everyone,
I just thought I’d make a quick little crash course of my understanding of photography.
Photography is an art and has many different genres that professional photographers specialize in. Here are a few examples: weddings, newborn, portrait, landscapes, animals, architecture, micro, fine art, editorial, commercial, etc. Each of these genres, a photographer will find out which one they have a passion for and will establish their style.
So with that being said, if you are looking for a wedding photographer, you will have to explore some options and try to find a photographer that specializes in weddings; or if you’re looking for Newborn photographers, the photographer will be specialized in that, and will have the props, equipment and experience to make the money worth it.
Myself, as the photographer of Dee’s photography, find myself gravitating towards portraits, mostly with controlled lighting, and my sets that I set up.
I have tried to test out other genres, just to see if I would like it, but I prefer to stick to my portraits. Nonetheless, I will pick up different jobs that are in different genres, but I try not to because it isn’t the genre I “specialize” in.
Also, gonna clarify that anyone that calls themselves a photographer, will and can take photos of anything in those genres, but you will be able to tell what they’re more passionate about.
I appreciate and love when someone reaches out for me to do jobs outside of my preferred genre, but I want my clients to get the best possible outcome of their money spent on professional photos; which is why I will decline on certain jobs that I know a different photographer could do a better job at.
Thanks for taking the time to read this long post, I hope this helps give you a bit of an understanding of photography. I didn’t know that there were different kinds of genres in photography before I went to school either.😅
Much love, Dee❤️❤️❤️
