When you attend small group focused workshops, this is often the first thing everyone starts off with. Introducing yourself to the group. I am often very surprised on how people open up and speak about their personal lives in this brief duration of their “lime light”.
One typically goes through their personal details revealing their innermost details on how they got started in photography, what they would like to do with this, and what they would like to learn from the workshop etc. I have often felt that people are very honest in these self introductions.
I am not exactly sure why, but i have been honest with my self introduction as well. The one thing that has often had me confused is the answer to the question about “What kind of photographer am I?” – Well, technically speaking – one can be a Journalist (whose main subjects are for the news he/she covers), Wedding, Studio/Portrait, Sports – and possibly “Art” for everything else…(are there any other kinds?)
I am not sure what kind i am – I might be a “Technical photographer”…one who uses excessive technology to come up with unique pieces of images, In some way – this could be considered “Art” – but maybe not (Art, in a non-traditional sense that is – perhaps that could be considered “Fine Art”…).
I recall a while ago blurting out that i am a “Fine Art” photographer…and was asked “What exactly is that?”
