Blog 6: Second Interview

Content:
The purpose of the second interview is to justify your mentor as an expert in the field. Thus, you will be asking at least 5 questions about their background and/or the background of the organization or company where they work.

1. Who is your mentor and where do they work?
My mentor is Jack Bohlka and he owns and works at a photography studio called Colour by Collier Photography.

2. What five questions will you ask them about their background?

  • You're a professional photographer and you own a studio; what type of training did you have to go through to get to this point where you are recognized as a professional and have your own place of business?
  • Professional Photographer; what did you have to go through to get job title, professional
  • In our last interview, you told me that lighting is the most important aspect of a well done portrait, how did you find out the effect that light has on a portrait?  Basically, when did you really start to see that lighting has a significant effect on portraits? 
  • Making people feel comfortable when they take a portrait, depending on the person, can be challenging; based on your experience, what have you found works best when getting people to relax and show genuine emotion in a portrait?
  • On one of the first days of class, you told us that we were going to develop a style that people would recognize, and say, " oh that's so-and-so's work," as a photographer, what identifies your work as your own? What is that style that makes people recognize it as yours? And how long did it take to develop it?
