What are "Lifestyle" photos?

I just noticed that Tilde531's photos have a watermark that says "Lifestyle Photography" (great photos btw) and it started me wondering just what the subject of a "Lifestyle" photo might be?

The first thought that came to my mind was of a person lounging at pool side with a margarita in their hand (wishfull thinking).

As Realtors in a second home market, we have decided to focus our marketing around the "La Quinta Lifestyle" which we have enjoyed for 12 years and for most everyone else is slow paced and relaxed.

What would you think the subject of a "Lifestyle" photo would be?

Thanks,

Tom

Well my lifestyle is. Working mostly. And I do take pictures at work. But of the buildings and the grounds. My personal lifestyle is the family, the home, camping and working around the house. All of which is documented in pictures alot! After 50 some years of taking pictures, you could look through them and know my whole life and most everyone that has been in it.

You might ask Tilde531 if "Lifestyle Photography" is just a company name, since it's used as a watermark.

Otherwise it would seem that "lifestyle" would be defined as a subject doing, or being with, what they enjoy most in life. Their dog(s), their cat(s), their custom car, their motorcycle, their hunting rifle, their swimming pool, their completed needle-point projects, whatever. A subject and their "prop(s)" to reveal what they enjoy most in life - unless it's something like a hot naked Asian girl (or boy in some cases, I guess). :shock:

This should ring a couple of chimes....
A very long time ago...newspapers had a "Women's Section" or some such...then came women's lib...and many papers changed that section to the "Lifestyle Section"...it was the same crap, different day.................a lot of people in this world think they can fix real problems by simply calling them something else....

So all I have to do is take pictures of Golf, & Eating and Drinking - should just about cover it all... :-)

Thanks for the reply...

(I'll PM Tilde531)
