Corporate Photography's many challenges in todays business world.
Recently I was covering a convention in San Francisco and was approached by an attendee asking what type of camera I used. I get this from time to time and don't mind. What I often hear is that they either have the same camera or they have another brand with all the bells and whistles. Some say they do what I do on the side but as we get deeper into discussion it becomes quite apparent that is not the case.
There was a time that Professional photographers were admired for their work and their photo gear. Digital cameras with auto program modes supposedly make anyone a pro. Having over 24 years of photography experience starting from with the Nikon F2 film camera to my current Cannon DSLR has given me much to look back on and much to appreciate. Having an eye for what you specialize in separates you from your competitors. I am not a wedding photographer and have nothing against this respectful profession. The same is said for the sports photographers of soccer kids, baseball youth leagues ect.
What I do is what I truly love and specializing in Corporate convention work keeps me focused and helps me bring to my customers the highest quality that should be delivered. You wouldn't hire a wedding planner to cover your conference so why hire a wedding photographer to cover your convention?
This is my two cents. Have a great week!
