It's not secret, but it certainly isn't common knowledge that the gear you bring with you to a shoot can really make or break your entire experience. We've all been there. You're on the way to a shoot and realize that you are missing one of your lens' hoods or filters. Then, when you arrive at the location, you find out that your light stand is missing a leg or two. Good news is...it's not too late to buy replacements! Of course, this doesn't come without its problems however...

How old were you when you realized that you had a special ability to produce something that was unlike anyone else’s? When did your passion for photography start? Where do you go for inspiration? If we ask any one of these questions to photographers around the world, we will get different answers. Sometimes, this difference in answers is very small. In fact, the only real difference in these answers is based on what type of photographer we are talking about.
The three main genres of photographers is the photojournalist, the wedding photographer, and the stock photographer. These three types of photographers all have very different goals in mind when they snap their first shot. The photojournalist is going after a shot that will be used in a newspaper or magazine. A wedding photographer has to shoot very quickly because of time limits and set up’s that require their attention. The stock photographer is shooting for a variety of uses and has to keep his creativity fresh, as he never knows what kind of image he might need next for sale.

As a pro-photographer for twelve years now I have had the opportunity to work with many other professionals. One question I am often asked is from photographers who ask for advice on where they should hang their images. Adding networking and exhibition opportunities to your portfolio can be a great way of capturing new clients, while also increasing your exposure online. For this article I would like to share my thoughts and some links that could help you increase your profile as an artist through exhibitions and galleries.
Can you imagine a world without photography? Where no one has the ability to capture a moment in time and freeze it forever? Where history is lost because no one can remember the details? A photographer is an artist that can capture the emotion, passion, and life of a person or place. We live in a world now that has come to rely on photography for so many reasons. The negatives are many, but at the same time, there are so many positives about being able to capture what happens in our lives. From the strange to the funny things we see every day; we need photography!
When I first started photography as a profession I had no idea where to begin. I had been taking lots of pictures for fun, but never really thought about making a living out of it. I wanted to take some really great photos, and show them to everyone. But how does one make that happen? That is exactly what I’m going to tell you in this article.
There is a lot more to photography than just being able to point your camera at something and snap the shutter. Sure, there are some people that are naturally gifted with the ability to produce amazing photography right out of the gate, but for most of us it takes some time before we feel confident in our abilities as a photographer.
I have been reading an interesting book recently titled "The Art of Seeing: An Image-Making Exploration for Photographers and Artists" by Tom Beddard. I must say I am really enjoying the book. It's easy to read, and easy to understand. In fact, the book is a compilation of blog posts written by the author on his website that you can view here . The author has also created videos that are viewable on Youtube that will give you a better idea about what the book is all about.The most important thing in photography is being able to see your subject/object in a creative way. This can be difficult if you have never tried it before. I think this is why a lot of people give up on photography and never try again. You can have all the equipment in the world, and practice your camera skills a million times over, but if you aren't seeing what you are shooting then it's just not going to work.
Be sure to check out my other articles as well. I've published over 260 articles and my search rankings have jumped from 21,000 to more than 3 million.
I hope that these tips will help you turn your hobby into your career.
Conclusion
If you have been considering a career change to photography, now is the time. There are a lot of photographers out there that continue shooting photos and videos because it's what they enjoy doing. They don't want to give up their hobby and just focus on becoming a pro-photographer. But at the same time, they don't want to become so good at it that they can't enjoy the process anymore.
I for one have never regretted my decision to take photography as my profession and I hope I can help you make your own decision about whether or not photography is something you want to pursue professionally in today's world.
