Fact is we have often photographed loved ones,
even the four legged ones

This is one of the recent sessions we did for a client that loves their pets.

Often I get asked Why I Teach.....
Often I get asked……
Why do I teach others to compete with me in the photographic business?
The answer is pretty simple, In that I am not scared of loosing business to others
I feel people choose their photographer, for many reasons, not the least of which is the personality of the person that is behind the camera (Yes knowledge of the tools we as Pro's use is important but what the client usually finds is someone that they can relate to and trust)
By Teaching I hope to add to the Professionalism of our industry
nothing aggravates me more than someone that has ruined the opportunity for great images and wasted a customers time and Violated that Trust, by being ill prepared for the job.
And if I teach so well that students challenge me for our market share of customers, this is a good thing!
Because we all need to be challenged to offer something different and stay ahead anything less we become complacent to the point of boring and who what’s a boring photographer!
Where did we start in this business of professional photography?
I took an interests in photography first as a Hobby as many do, and was encouraged by family and friends to pursue it beyond just a hobby, my profession at that time in my life was in the United States Air Force, the USAF did not need more photographers than they already had at that time, so I remained in the career field I signed up with until my retirement in 1993
However with encouragement from my wife and other family and friends we started building my knowledge base and I continued to procure cameras and lens.
Eventually someone learned that my talent was more than just as a hobby and invited me to "work" at a local news paper “The Merced Sun Star, Merced California” was my first employment as a Pro photographer, even though it was part time while I was still in the Air Force. I gained a whole lot of experience and had a blast getting paid for what I loved to do - I was hooked.
So our goal became to retire from the USAF and then pursue photography as a second career.
This became reality in 1993 when I retired from The USAF after serving 19 years
Zogail (my wife) and I opened Lott’s Photography Studio here in Bossier City.
I am sure many of you have other questions in mind, since the concept of a Blog is conversational, I have started the conversation and let’s see if anyone has comments and or questions ?
