I recall chatting with another photographer years back who recommended I specialize in a specific photography niche. His rationale was if clients suspect that you'™ll shoot anything, you might appear desperate to them - they are looking for a photographer who feels as passionate about their subject matter as they do. I assume most professional photographers started out shooting everything - being a photography generalists is how I learned to understand image composition. However, over time I did narrow my scope.

I do understand where my colleague was coming from, and I currently focus my business on service/social events, studio portraits and wedding photography. However, I recall my Dad sharing some good advice before leaving for college. Dad said, while it is OK to study hard and excel in your chosen major, don't lose sight of gaining general knowledge of other subject matter as you grow. I fully understand the gist of my father's advice today - it would have been hard for me to socialize with folks on campus if my only topics for discussion was computer science, mathematics and engineering. That being said, beyond the photography I 'focus' on for business today, I continue to dabble in marketable landscape/urbanscape photography as well. Just wanted to share a few images of various works I have created over the years.

Keep creating and good luck!

As I mentioned - I would love to see your landscape work. Here is an urbanscape image I captured in Cleveland, Ohio. Anyone who has shot black and white film knows how difficult this type of lighting contrast at night can be to capture well. The Nikon full frame cameras I own literally take my breath away with the clarity and greyscale definition they produce. When I transitioned from film to digital, I was disappointed by the lack of capability in sensors to create a decent quality monochrome image. However, my Nikon systems today (combined with imaging applications on my Macintosh computers) are up to task for studio or field work for B&W presentations. Still growing - may seek to capture more black and white street photography in the future.

Cheers!
