Our close friends at Fstoppers released a new tutorial 'The Well Rounded Photographer' which inspired me to create this guide for those looking to find a path to stick to when it comes to a specific genre of photography.

Great info and you're exactly right about the combination of skills/personality and the types of jobs. I enjoy the high pressure of weddings, runway photography and similar productions. Sometimes I also like to slow down and enjoy product or landscape photography as well.

Had to search for this topic cuz no idea what I’m doing with my photography ‘career passion’. I currently have a full-time job at a casino (not taking pictures) and want to go full-on with photography, well maybe gradually. The first camera I did portraits and some birthdays/small wedding anniversaries. Upgraded my camera and realized I like street photography and being in nature with landscape photography. Now made a website that focuses on Portraits, Family photos and event photography wtf 😅. I clearly have no idea what I want. I did portraits for the money but not a people person. I’m probably gna cancel my website and focus on street and landscape. This is ridiculous ahhahaha

Wonderful advice and conversation Pye. I tried to photograph a make-up line. OMG that was the worst for me. 20 lipsticks and 30 brushes. It was painful to try product photos. Make up is one of the most difficult items to photograph cause the client wants to show the real colors of their lipsticks and the wrong lighting set up will male them look way different. Took me 15 days to be able to do this. 😕 I quit! Sticking to Families and children 💓 Small XVras and weddings. I work solo. I dont know how to create a team. How to be the leader of such team.

What I ‘missed’ was a clearer answer for the people that reply ‘no’ to questions 1 and 2, and consider themselves to be intuitive rather than ‘bonkers technical’ in response to the third question. People like myself. For what it is worth: for now, this has brought me to a form of documentary/journalism style of photography. Working alone, small kit, no posing, on location. Ironically, this landed me wedding gigs and commercial extreme sports photography shootings because I have apparently developed this natural feeling of being in the right moment at the right place with my camera, without having to orchestrate or being intrusive to the event. All that being said, I learned loads in the SLR wedding photography courses that can be applied to so many different genres as well. Therefore I strongly believe that a course like the Fstopper one can be an awesome tool for anyone, not matter your genre or style. Having extra knowledge in your camerabag is never a bad thing. Cheers!

I was thinking the same. As more intuative than technical, I feel like I thrive in small teams but can easily feel overly stimulated by short deadlines and large teams/crowds. So I've been attracted to outdoor portraits & street photography.

Hello Pye. That was a very important video, touched types of thoughts I have with myself several times while trying to decide what genre of photography I should focus on more and often. I'd love if you could bring this discussion further, maybe 1 or 2 more videos with deeper analysis, suggestions, recommendations, guidance, tips, whatever etc lol. Thanks bunch !!!

Glad it was helpful. What would you like me to analyze in parts 2 and 3?

@@payamjirsa That's a good question but, I think you started a conversation that other professional KZfaq photographers are not exploring yet and that many beginner photographers either seek to have or would greatly benefit from having it. Maybe somehow make it more interactive so we can have a broader and more inclusive discussion, exploring both sides of the types of personalities. Me, for example, I'd like to do a wedding event, just for the $$, but definitely prefer wildlife, macro, landscape, possibly product and portrait or boudoir, only if working with a very selective and small team, of alone in the case of outdoor/nature photography. You can see on my IG account at photos.by.monty that I'm still looking to define what genre I identify myself with. Many others on Instagram are the same way or even worse. Anyway, I think that the topic of this video was an EXCELLENT choice and that deserves more development. Thanks Pye !!

Great video! I would really love to be able to photograph products at home as a professional, right now I just create my own setups for stock photography.
