A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Successful shot rate (alien.top)

On average what would you say is your success rate when you go out to shoot? And what’s your experience level?

For myself who has a passion for photography but zero formal training and only purchased my first real camera less than a year ago, I’d say 1% of the pictures that I take are “good” or at least to the point to where I’d share them.

I know a lot comes from just going out and taking pictures but I feel like the gaps between when I go out and take pictures and actually sit at the computer and look at them is so spread out that I can never remember what I did or was thinking last time I was out shooting

This is quite subjective!

I’m a full time portrait and wedding photographer, and my goal is to always get the best shots I can. I have developed my brand and style over the years by practicing my skills and experience. I’ve always had an eye for art and photography/framing an image. Art and creativity runs in my family in many ways including my mom paints and my dad used to do black and white film photography. I used to want to be a cinemaphotogroaher but the film industry is way harder to get into and you have to know people and basically live in Hollywood.

Sooo I gravitated towards photography in my youth, and pushed myself out of my comfort zone to learn more! My growth has led me to know how to line up and image to try to get the most flattering image as possible. Of course my favorites so edit will differ from my clients favorites. I get a good variety of poses, candids, backgrounds, etc. so I feel I do a great job every time I go out and photograph. I get repeat clients and clients who compliment their images they receive with awesome feedback.
