Reply To: I'd like your opinion on my life decisions

The guy on the Roland might be better with a decent crop. It had some promise.

 

Otherwise, I didn’t really see much. For the type of photography you do, you might be interested in shooting unit stills. You can’t really make any decisions about lighting, since the cinematographer will be doing that. Use some of your connections and find out from producers if you can try it. While film is rolling, you need to be on your game, but during cuts you can shoot stuff you like (like what you showed, above).

They will still need to get a “pro” if they need other shots, as unit stills is responsible for props that involve images, too. So, make sure you check on whether they’ll be needing that, first. Don’t put yourself in the position of making bad prop images for them.

 

From that sample, I’d say you are a fauxtographer. You might be able to find a niche, though.
