What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
This depends on the type of photography you are doing, but there are some general factors. A great photograph draws the viewer in, keep them interested, and invokes an emotional response. It also has good composition and proper exposure. For portraits it should show the person's personality, best features and capture emotion or action of the moment. For events the photos should document all the activities at the event and show they enjoyment and emotions of those involved. For commercial, product and architecture , a good photo portrays the object in a positive, dynamic way that best illustrates the object with proper lighting.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
When starting any photo shoot, it is important to understand the what the client is looking for and what their expectations are. The photographer is there to offer his services and expertise, but the client is the priority. So on any shoot I consult with the client first to be able to know what I need to do/bring and be able to give them a price.Questions would include amount of time needed, any travel, how they want the final product.
What do you love most about your job?
