it
  comes
  to
  ouTits,
  day,
  Pme
  and
  locaPon,
  which
  will
  lead

to
 a
 successful
 shoot.“

  In
  addiPon
  to
  learning
  about
  lighPng
  and

technique,
  Mike
  said
  he
  has
  also
  learned
  that
  he
  favors

some
 categories
 of
 photography
 over
 others.

  ” M o s t
  a l l
  m y
  p h o t o g r a p h y

photography,”
  he
  explained.
  “I
  also
  do
  some
  senior
  and

family
  photography
  but
  most
  all
  my
  shoots
  are
  with

models.”

 Mike
 said
 he
 also
 ventured
 briefly
 into
 wedding

photography,
 but
 found
 it
 to
 be
 more
 labor
 than
 love.

 “I
 have
 done
 a
 few
 weddings
 but
 I
 stopped
 doing

those,”
 he
 laughed.
 “They
 are
 a
 lot
 of
 work
 and
 somePme

are
 a
 pain
 in
 the
 rear.”

  On
  nice
  days,
  he
  may
  also
  somePmes
  visit
  a
  park

and
 take
 photos
 of
 birds,
 flowers,
 and
 other
 crikers
 that

wander
  by,
  Mike
  admiked,
  adding
  that
  he
  enjoys
  the

creaPvity
  and
  freedom
  that
  being
  a
  photographer
  grants

him.

 “For
 the
 most
 part,
 photography
 is
 my
 hobby
 of

choice,”
  he
  said.
  “You
  can
  preky
  much
  take
  a
  camera

anywhere
 and
 capture
 something
 amazing.
 If
 I'm
 going
 to

the
 race
 track,
 tractor
 pull
 or
 even
 to
 watch
 some
 friend’s

band
  play,
  I'll
  take
  my
  camera
  along.
  I
  enjoy
  all
  those

things,
  so
  by
  having
  my
  camera
  with
  me,
  I
  can
  capture

some
 memories
 I
 can
 look
 back
 on.”
