today i have read an article about young companies.
As i am a starting photographer i do need exposure.
i have a first job, and i do not really know what i want to specialize in as photographer.
What the also say is " you am what you shoot" and clients will hire you for what you shoot.
say i want to do weddings that would be my main goal to shoot weddings, and show that i shoot weddings in every medium that is possible, prints, websites, portfolio, twitter, facebook, etc
the same counts for everything else.
the problem for me lies that i do not know what i am going to specialize in, at the moment it generalizes around people. i am a people shooter. this means that i want to make photographs that touches people that connects and that the person that looks at the photo connects with it.
that can be done in multiple things,
portraits is a very important one. the person sits directly in front of you,
documentary photography is all what i have done so far. documenting my own life. putting some on flickr. and my own site.
fashion can also be a choice, but it is more static but has a big challenge and that is artificial light inside the studio or on the street.
all in all, at the moment street photography attracts me the most but does not give me enough exposure.
what i need is attention to my photography. that people see them that i can attract people to my images and sell them. Maybe some editorials would be good also.
at the moment my photo's can be found at
www.grasfotografie.com and at
flickr but i need to connect, to show and to make sure i get the exposure that i need to get this from the ground. It will be hard, painful but in the end it will be so worth it.
who's gonna help me?
