On average what would you say is your success rate when you go out to shoot? And what’s your experience level?
For myself who has a passion for photography but zero formal training and only purchased my first real camera less than a year ago, I’d say 1% of the pictures that I take are “good” or at least to the point to where I’d share them.
I know a lot comes from just going out and taking pictures but I feel like the gaps between when I go out and take pictures and actually sit at the computer and look at them is so spread out that I can never remember what I did or was thinking last time I was out shooting
I don’t shoot much outside of the studio. I’ve never been that good on my feet like that.
Even with the complete control over studio conditions it can still vary a lot, like maybe the hair isn’t right, or wardrobe is problematic because it doesn’t fit or whatever. Biggest determinant for what I shoot is usually how comfortable someone is (and experienced at) being in front of the camera.
Experience level: idk. I’ve done a lot of commercial work by happenstance, but I’m only really good in very specific situations. So I’d probably two myself at like a neutral number in the middle.
