Everyones a photographer

[Nemesis]

Back about a year or two ago, it really was just me, Matt (Ga_teg) , and Walker that really posted our stuff. Hell even matt was using a point and shoot camera.

Then soon after, Brady and a ton of others decided to hop on the bandwagon. I remember even taking photos for Brady when he first got his car (Tiburon) 4 -5 years ago


Now dont get me wrong, that's definitly cool to see all these photos and there is some talent on here, but usually what happens is someone takes their parents camera or something, goes and takes a picture of their car upside down, they all of a sudden feel like they became Ansel Adams. IA is a great place to post your stuff but dont plan on making a million bucks off of doing car photoshoots. There are way too many others around that offer free photoshoots, even though they are sub par quality. But hey if they are happy with them, that is all that matters, is when the customer is happy and not having spent a dime.

Personally im going a different direction with my second career in this business, and it is definitly profitable.



Just my 2 cents. This was not an attack towards anyone person so dont get it twisted like I know how some of you all do.

Yep, started off with a Canon A70 then went to the Nikon 8700 that you bought, to the DSLR. I only do car shoots now when the models bug me for them or I have a client who is paying me to shoot the car.

I agree there are some on here that have some skills but I agree with pretty much everything you said George.

I remember more Walker posting. Then Matt and Jaime joined in. Then you. Then Brady and a host of others. Later, QD.
