Reply To: Techniques used by Atlanta Commercial Photographer for capturing images

In NYC, I think that we are often pigeonholed into being good at only one thing. So if you are a fashion photographer, it can be as specific as not being hired for shooting a job on a cyc because you don’t have enough photographs of fashion on white in your portfolio. Seriously!

However, I do see photographers who shoot both commercial and editorial work as well as shooting weddings. Those that are most successful at it keep those portfolio’s very separate. I don’t agree that a photographer needs to be able to shoot everything if they aren’t trying to shoot everything. They just need to able to successfully execute whatever they are being hired to shoot.
