Finding your photography nitch:

I have been a nature and art photographer for years now.  I get asked a lot, “What is your photography Knitch, your style?”.  I basically built my portfolio solely based on that kind of photography.  I have recently tried to out-step my boundaries by doing a lot more portrait, model and action photography.  This is a whole new adventure for me because it takes a different eye to really create a great promotional picture for a model.  I think I have found my first success in that department.  After working on a model shoot for a local fashion show I started to create and work on the pictures.  I really found this picture of a model extremely stunning and she had a natural beauty about her.  I darkened the background and played with some lighting.  The final product is something I could of never imagined.   I was very proud of the results. 

Now most of my photography has dealt with landscapes and nature. I have found this to be extremely therapudic for many reasons. 1. I am with nature and 2. I am with nature. Getting up early in the morning and just waiting for that beautiful sunrise or waiting till the sunset can bring so many photographic opportunities. I am very proud of my work in dealing with nature. I have taken a great deal of time working on my eye and trying to capture what I see through the lense. Sometimes is works and some times it does not. This picture was taken in the early morning just as the sun was starting to rise over the tree’s. There was a slight fog that was lifting but the reflection in the water caught my eye and I could not miss the opportunity to capture it. I am very happy with the results.

Trying to find your nitch can take some time.  I think I am still working on that and trying to develop my own view of photography.  Nature photography has always been a great passion of mine and will continue to be.  I hope to continue and learn more.  So if someone asks me about my photography nitch, I just tell them.. “I am still working on it”
