I completely agree with the notion of trying different kinds of photography before specializing. As a side note, I've done a lot of shooting in Bali. See erickdanzer.com/galleries/bali. You are lucky to live in such a beautiful and photogenic place. To Jules: Sure. If you're the kind of person who posts here to ask permission, you're the kind of person I don't mind having use portions of my posts. Thanks. Hi, Joaquim, thanks for the comment.

I do a few jobs from time to time, nothing too serious but enough to invest a bit in some new gear. I've had varying types of assignements, from weddings to real estate to sport to journalism and even portraits. I think it is important to try different types of photography before choosing wich one to channel your efforts into. I realized that weddings and sports are a big pain in the harse, you've got to be prepared to sweat and to work in a hurry ! And that so far the type of photography that gave me the most 'creative liberty' was the real estate business. I've had tons of fun trying out new techniques (HDR, Panoramas, ultra-wide-angle lenses...). And what's great about it is, that your clients want photographs that are eye-catching and mesmerizing, thus you can have fun trying different techniques and editing methods to make that killer-shot. I've managed to get quite a reputation where I live (Bali, Indonesia), trying out all sort of jobs, and trying to be real professional about the results. It worked apparently 'cause I got most of my jobs from word-to-mouth ! Anyway, thanks for the article, it made me think about channeling my efforts in what I like to do :) Joaquim Brissaud Interesting article.
