Is it one or more? If it is more than one, is it related to your main type of photography that you do? Or do you photograph other types of subjects that are not related to each other

These days few pro shooters can afford the luxury of specialising in one category. I've done pack and product shots, portraits, macro, landscape, animal, sport, events .....all 'commercially'.

I think the writer is straining to unecessarily subdivide. 19 that he could think of ....there are several more he could have added. At least he could have rounded it up to 20 ...with architectural!

The photographer who resides in just one of those categories is a rarity, in my opinion.

Which sort of makes the idea of subdivision a bit pointless.

In the 80s I was a specialist in hotel and tourist photography
By the 90s there was a serious recession in UK and I became a general commercial/advertising photographer glad to have a go at what was on offer!

Now I'm retired after 50 yrs earning my living as a photographer and enjoy taking pix as a hobby and have just joined my local camera club!

Thats a coincidence Graham.

I still service a number Best Western hotels in my region...one of the few regular commercial jobs I now do, as I too wind down to retirement.

Ive been lucky being able to combine graphic design with photography over the last 20years. It has made it easier to be more selective with clients, offering either/or/ both services. This diversity? made it possible to make a good living when specialists struggled.

Ive never done work for the general public (too tight and finicky) prefering business / commercial customers who pay the going rate without question.

Finding it hard to get back to just hobby photography ...some of the enthusiasm has gone. Need a project to kickstart me!
