What's your favorite.........

What is your favorite style of photography....do you prefer macro, fine art, documentary, etc. I have been looking at some photography from the turn of the century and am blown away. I love a photo that evokes an emotional response. I am just curious what you like......

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I'll shoot anything but a blank wall, and I'll shoot even that if there's an interesting crack in it.

What do they say? Jack of all trades, master of none? That kind of fits my photography. I love shooting all kinds of different things.

Wow, I think I'm in agreement with every single reply that has been posted here, especially the last one!

I got hired to shoot an event and the person doing the hiring asked what I normally shoot. My answer was, "Anything that moves.....or doesn't move." That's the best way to describe it. As long as it can hold my interest for 2 seconds, it's going to get photographed.

That being said, I find that I enjoy shooting people, but photojournalistically as opposed to posed. Not that posed portraits don't work for me, but I'd much rather shoot a shot that isn't staged than shooting one that is. Street shooting and event candids is what I seem do best and also something I really enjoy.

In my case, shooting events is where I have a chance to make some real $$$ around here. It helps that it's also something I enjoy. I'd hate for any of these jobs to seem like a real job...
