What discipline in photography would you say is your strength.

[ibcrewin]

If you took 5 rolls of film and took 36 street shots, 36 portraits, 36 landscapes, 36 Night shots, or 36 shots from your nephew's wedding. Which roll would have the least culls? Which one would highlight your best work?

If you had one more roll and you wanted to dedicate it to a style you consider your forte, what would it be?

Finding the right subject in front of the camera is what matters.

Either it should be unusual enough that most people won't have seen it, or something that interests me enough to convey my interest in it.

I can do commercial photography, and work to a brief, and produce pictures that please the client, so in a sense, there'd be fewest culls from that. But what interests me is a different matter, and there might actually be more culls(and more good pics) in say an Arles report such as http://www.rogerandfrances.com/subscription/arles 2010.html.

It depends on why you're shooting, and what for.

Cheers,

R.

I always believe my strength is in nude photography.
But so far I haven't been able to convince a single lady to let me photograph her nude

I have a bad compositional eye for landscapes, cityscapes and such.
My best roll would comprise of portraits.

 

[taskoni]

I would say I am less weak in portrait photography 😀

 

[Keith]

I would probably get more keepers from the portrait roll.

 

[back alley]

actually, i'm quite well known for my complete lack of discipline...

 

[DNG]

I may have 2 or 3.... At least in my head 😉
#1😛ortraits, probably my best, when I work at it
#2: Landscape
#3: Weddings (I used to cover 3-4 a month in the early 90's)

Night and street hahaha... I try, but I don't shoot enough in those 2

 

[unohuu]

Portrait roll would have the least culls and show my best work. If I had one more roll, I would want it show my emerging street photography work. I enjoy working as a 2nd shooter but weddings are too demanding for steady work.

 

[DougFord]

i've gone for days, weeks and months without ever taking a pic; now that's discipline spanning all genres. 😛
my personal favorite is impromptu people photography. impromptu landscape photography? not so much.

I think my specific skills are more on the artistic side. I am reasonably good at composition for example. here is an example I reasonably like because I have deliberately composed to show both the artist and his environment.....

I am also reasonably able at post processing to get an artistic result I like and as a result everything I do either gets archived (and goes no further) or post processed.

Also an example of one that has received a fair "wack" of post processing to emphasise the main subject and de-emphasise the background

I'd say my strength is mainly portraits and night shots

i am slowly discovering that table-top scenes are my best . . . i enjoy (and do well at) putting things together and photographing them then some post-processing and print 8x10's (outside lab) for my little 3-ring binder to bore my friends with. 😛

in the good weather, i will shoot a few nice landscapes, but not many.

 

[hipsterdufus]

Portraits. That's just about all that I shoot.

 

[divewizard]

Underwater photography is what I am best at. Many of my underwater photos are published in books, magazines, ID guides, and used on displays in aquariums and museums. Some are used in fish ID guides by the Smithsonian.

Here is an example from a recent trip.

 

[Neare]

I'm currently in that "omg my photography sucks! What am I going to do?!" stage. I expect it to continue for as long as I use cameras, on the bright side it makes me realise what needs to be changed in my photos. I've got a very long way to go. 🙂

 

[ironhorse]

I have to go outside the box and say sports photography. It would have the most culls but the best work.

 

[PatrickT]

The portrait roll by a mile. Although I'm working on the quality of the street roll 🙂

 

[TaoPhoto]

For me it would probably be the street roll, followed by the landscape roll, followed by the portrait roll. Actually, though, I wish it were the other way around.
