Last year at around this time...I posted about how
I was going to post more on my blog...well that never happened. There are good
reasons for it...my photography business has grown very nicely and I've simply
been busy. I barely get the time to do a session, edit it, provide the gallery
to the client, get photos retouched, post them to social media and move on to
the next client. But I miss blogging and I think it serves an important purpose
in the life of an artist.
I don't like writing.....that's the problem with a
blog for me. I don't like writing. I like to post my photos on my blog but i
don't like writing about them or about me or about what I'm doing. I even
thought maybe I would make the blog more informational. Like maybe I'll post
photos from a session and then explain how I worked...what did I do...what
camera settings did I use....how did I retouch...but that doesn't always appeal
to me either. So I think I'm going to play it by ear...I will post
photos...sometimes I won't say anything about them....sometimes I will.....if I
think there is something to learn from them, then maybe I'll explain it. We'll
see but I will post!
Some things have changed in my business this year.
I still work for Wagner College Theatre by doing all their publicity and
shooting their shows. I also do some other work for them like doing their
senior showcase photos, and shooting their Summer Intensive Student's
headshots.
I morphed into more of a headshot photographer this
year and I really like that. I love doing headshots....I like seeing the person
I am working with come up with different outfits, different looks, helping them
relax into the session and I love seeing the results and hearing afterward that
they are getting more calls from their headshots than they are before. I had
been staying away from children and family photography for a while but recently
had the opportunity to do some of those sessions and found that I missed
it....a lot...and so there's that. I am also working for Sundog Theatre doing
an after school program where we produce a newspaper for the school and I teach
photojournalism to 4th and 5th graders while they fulfill photography
assignments for the newspaper....it's very rewarding and fun! So I'm
busy!
Here are some photos from this year....just sort of
a retrospective! Enjoy!
