This is my food shot its of a cupcake from a bakery in town I used a 50mm to get a good depth of field and a get the cupcake in crisp focus. I wanted to make the viewer feel hungry like they are there. wanted to really show the chocolate shining off the cupcake and I think I did that. I just wish I had better lighting I just had the ceiling light from the bakery so it was my first attempt to shoot food but it wont be my last.

celebrities fair game

So are celebrities fair game do we photographers have the right to follow these people everywhere and photograph anything they do. Me personally I don't care what they do that just me but from a photographers point of view they are fair game as long it doesn't go to far like evading their privacy. But if there outside getting coffee I can follow them to their car as long its a public place so I say YES. Sadly to say they are public figures in our society as that we can follow them to certain extent and photograph them. But their is a line that we photographers I think don't cross thats we don't photograph them while evading their privacy thats my opinion I will never trespass on their property go in a helicopter and photograph them in their home. I will never be aggresive shooting while their children are around. So photograph them but don't take it to far okay people.

40 Years and More

Right now am 23 years old and am currently working at H&M to pay the bills and support myself but I don't want to do that forever. In 17 years I'll be 40 years old but those 17 years are going to get here fast. So when am 40 years old I hope to be a full time photographer based out of Europe photographing Formula One and Moto GP. This will be my dream to photograph my favorite sport for a living and get paid for it. But I will also photograph the MMA scene when the UFC comes to Europe for their fights. I will be famous for photographing motor sports and being the lead photographer for F1 and Moto GP. One thing I would love to do is something for veterans of the military coming from a military family knowing what these vets go thru I want to some charity work with organzations like wounded warriors to give back to the world. This is my dream I have in life.
