Yes, nobody, not even the most talented polymaths in photography shoot all categories. The proliferation of cameras in everyday life has swamped the world with images, cheapening the value.


Sorry, but I have at least tried every single one of the subjects listed above. Key word is tried. Worthwhile successful shooting is usually only after much trying which I cannot say I have done for all the subjects. I have probably one or more good or successful shots in each of the subjects, but good and successful are not always what one would put in a portfolio.

I photograph landscapes architecture and special events. Annual inome breakdown:

I get lots of those for my buildings but the actual CD's delivered that those same people cannot comprehend at all and could care less pay the bills.
So that is what it is all about.

Edit: some people overthink things or do not know. So to help read below:

If you do not shoot a category then ignore it.
Very simple.
If all you do for money is weddings then just say weddings 100%
if two categories then say 20% this and 80% that.
So simple that anyone can do it
