35mm Photos: The technical problems will be minimized if you provide yourself with the proper equipment. The widest market for flower pictures is for 35mm photos color slides, but that doesn't mean that just any 35mm photos camera is the suitable tool for.
For black and white assignments, which are 80 percent of my assignments, a 35mm photos camera is just fine, and half your picture could be done with the 35mm photos or 28mm lens. The addition of a 2%-inch square format camera is useful because some clients want larger color images from which to reproduce. Contact prints made in this size are easier to look at than 35mm photos.
You should retain a contact sheet of every roll of black and white you shoot. If you are naturally neat and orderly, your equipment will be spotless and you will be able to retrieve pictures taken years ago as easily as you'd locate pictures taken last week. Look at them and keep trying to improve, trying to change for the better, and above all, try not to keep your talents a secret. I will repeat: The idea is basic to your success as a freelancer. |
