Exactly this. Clients want to know what type of photographer they are hiring. If a certain shot is in your portfolio, they are hiring you because they want you to take that style of shot for them.

I yearn to encounter my grandparents in their youth, capturing the essence of their daily lives.

This would be pretty damn cool. I was just going to say for Panasonic's eye AF to work, but yours wins.

Same. On1 Photo Raw and Davinci Resolve, never missed Adobe.

A lot of these YT photographers aren't that great themselves, especially a lot of the street photographers. They just walk down the street taking run and gun photos of all the good looking girls they see then 'slap' a filter on. And most of the photos aren't even of them doing anything interesting or in interesting light, they are literally just walking.

So many bad photos on instagram like this. A street photo of the back of some random person just standing there not doing anything interesting, convert it to B/W and it becomes ART!

I hate it when my friends ask me this, the second question they usually ask is 'What filter did you use?'

When I reply with 'an ND filter' they look at me like I'm crazy because it's not an instagram filter.

What type of movement do you want to do? A gimbal will prob be your best option for movement, then a tripod for static shots.

But the best people to ask would be r/videography

Depends on the height of your model.

I also recently done headshots for a law firm lol, and this is 100% correct. I took one headshot of the CEOs PA and I got two shots that I really liked, to the point that I would consider both of them a portfolio shots. But she hates thrm, I had to convince her that it was a REALLY good headshot.

Most of them are corporate people, they have worked in corporate their whole lives. So they don't understand what a good, or bad shot, looks like.

It's the same as when you're first starting wanting to get into music photography, corporate photography, event photography, etc. Most people start off because they know someone. Getting a start in photography really is about who you know.

What type of photos? What are you using to edit them? Where are you displaying your photos?
