Interview with:Taylor Ann [vitamintaf]
PHOTOGRAPHY
 | Do you have an online gallery where one can view your photos? |
| For how long have you done photography? How did you begin? I've done it since I was little, when my mom first bought me a film camera when I was 7. Then I just liked taking pictures. I only became serious about photography when I was 14 and realized how much I enjoy capturing moments when they happen. |
| What has been your education as a photographer? I have no education as a photographer. Though I do plan on going to Ryerson University for photography when I'm done high school in a year. |
| What is your favourite type of photography? My favourite type would have to be scenery. I love being able to capture the world around me.
I also like taking shots of my friends just being themselves. |
| What do you try to express through your photography? I try to show the things I love, or do, or people I like or things that interest me and catch my attention. |
| How do you choose your subjects? By people, they are my friends or family.
Nature or other things are things that I see and want to take a picture off. |
| What type of preparation do you do before undertaking the photo session? I make sure my camera is ready. The battery is charged and I have an extra memory card ready in case. |
| Do you normally photograph with a purpose already in mind, or do you let yourself go with the flow? I usually just go with the flow and whatever happens, happens. One a rare occasion I would have a plan, and when I do I still sometimes just have fun with it and go with what feels right and looks good. |
| Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Sigma, Olympus, Sony, Pentax...which do you place your bets on and why? I personally am not a fan on Sony. The company is the least helpful company ever. I had a pocket Song pocket camera and when it had an issue they blamed it on me though I took care of that camera like it was my child.
I have a Canon XS Rebel right now, and I ADORE it. So my bets are going to have to go to Canon. |
| Describe your current equipment: cameras, lenses, computers, accessories... Camera: Canon Rebel XS
Lens: 18-55mm
I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 for my software.
I'm saving up for CS4, and two new lenses. The 75-300mm f/4-5.6 llll & EF-S 60mm
f/2.8 Macro USM. |
| What software and plug-ins do you use to retouch and manage your photos? So far I only have Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 for retouching. |
| Are technology and digital retouching reducing the gap between professionals and amateurs? No I don't think so because you can always tell the difference between someone who has been doing photography for a long time compared to someone who took a picture for their family birthday party. |
| Do you consider yourself more technical or more artistic? I would think I'm more artistic because I haven't had any training and just do what I like to do. |
| What have you learned about the art of framing and composition? I've learned that whatever the main thing you are taking a picture of should be the main focus. Though sometimes I purposely do not do that, just for a different feel. |
| Does photography have the recognition that it should have in contemporary art museums? I can't say in museumes. Though I can say for schools. I think that drawing or painting or physically making something is focused on. At my school we have a full display case for people's art work, but photographs are never displayed. |
