Careers in Photography
This is the 5th week in class. We have had two speakers and next week we have a field trip to Marina del Rey to meet and interview a food photographer. Today the instructor arranged the tables in a square so all the students could see each other as we talked. The objective was for each student to tell the class their photography interest and a little bit about how that interest was sparked. A diverse group of students. Huge range of interests from Music to sports and from Weddings to Fine Art. Most of them talked about why they wanted to work in a specific field. I just read yesterday's post on Going Pro and it made me wonder if we would have gained greater insights if each of us had been asked to articulate WHY we wanted to create photographs?
