[…] DCP Update – I’m A Portrait Photographer. There – I said it. For the past twenty years, I’ve been trying to convince myself that I was an Advertising, an Editorial (portrait) and a Fashion photographer (in Denver photographers shoot everything). But the fact is – I’m good at and drawn to Portrait Photography. Yes – portrait photography can blend with Advertising and with Fashion, but you’d honestly have to pay me (a lot of money) to create images of athletes running through a field, couples interacting at a table and products set in remote, etherial places. I’m just not that “motivated” to create those type of images. Boo Hoo – I know, but if “it” doesn’t have eyes and give me “eye contact, ” my motivations are more often driven by money (paying the rent) than by creating a great image for my portfolio. Check out this great BTS video of Stefan Ruiz. […]
