Everyone is a Photographer
Title: Everyone is a Photographer
Assigner: Blake
Description:
Everybody has a camera on their phone. Everybody carries a small digital point and shoot. Everybody has a web cam on their computer. I don’t mean photographers, I mean everyday people wandering the earth. Because of this, I hear a lot of complaining from commercial photographers about the over-saturation in the marketplace by amateurs. It’s time to differentiate yourself from the amateurs.
I’m sure all of you have cell phone cameras, or little digital point and shoots. I want you to re-shoot a photograph you made with either of those devices. I know I have personally photographed someone in perfect light, or a quick capture at a party, but ended up with a noisey, out of focus 1mb file that is pretty much worthless. For this assignment, I want you to revisit one of those scenes and make it better. Shoot with your professional gear, and make it stand out from the crowd.

After returning from Photo Plus Expo this year and giving lectures twice a day, I would have to say – well said!
