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 mainly do macro work on insects and plants in the wild. 1 in 1000 is my rough estimate. But I also shot like 4000 pictures in a 2-3 hours time frame.
But in the end I usualy end up with at least 2-8 Keepers and one realy good picture.
When I did do product shootings in the studio almost 100% after setup.
Portait work depends on the model. Simple Business Headshots 9 in 10 workable 1 in 10 great.
Events 3 out of 5. Workable. 1 out of 10 great.
