I'm not buying much, if any of that logic, but it's not my deal so who cares? I have found over the years that I am much more critical of my work than my clients are. Does that mean that I don't need to listen to their needs, nope, but I've discovered that if I like it, they'll love it. We definitely have a different client list, that we can agree on. This is a free country, once again, so shoot whatever you would like, in whatever style you would like. Best of luck.
Jim, I don't care if you buy any of my logic, I didn't like the style of your shots that you posted from Addison and Love Field. If you are insinuating that I don't care about my work, or that I am not critical of my work, you are very wrong about that. I am my own worst enemy, always critiquing my shots, looking at other people that do what I do and comparing myself to their work. Some of them have shot for over 30 years, so I have a LOT to learn and intend to continue to learn and stretch myself as a photographer. If not, why bother?
The point I have tried to make during this thread or this part of the thread is that my clients LOVE what I do. They are brokers, they are not av-geeks like the rest of us. Yes, some of them are pilots, some of them have managed large flight departments, but they don't care a thing about whether I make a "pure background" shot, or use a "digital art" shot. They just want the jet noticed and they want it sold. Simple as that. I've had clients that have told me after I have delivered the finished shots, "I have had this jet on the market for x amount of days (a long time), I sold it within six weeks after your photos came out". That is what I like to hear, most of all. I provide a service. Simple as that.
Your clients are different than mine, I understand that. They like what you do, my clients like what I do. We just shoot different styles, just like some artists would rather shoot in black and white, while others want to shoot in color. Either way is not the "right" answer or style...........
That is the point I am trying to make, yet it seems to me, some people who have commented on this thread, don't "get it"
I do like the shot you just posted of the BBJ taking off from the runway. Now that is a cool shot on anyone's list!
