Had Some Fun Helping My Youngest Son

[chilerelleno]

I had some fun helping my youngest son today with his photography skills.
He is a budding photographer with strong interests in sports cars and bikes.

He doesn't currently charge for shoots as he is learning and can't guarantee results, he is honing his skills and building a portfolio.
But he does get some nice tips for his work.

Today he had some crotch rocket jockeys he knows who wanted pics, and who were willing subjects for him to hone his rolling pics skills.
He needed a driver and I was more than happy to oblige, and I had a great time doing it too.

He took several hundred pics and will spend the next week or so selecting the best and editing them, then he'll send them to the recipients.

I chose a few to share with y'all, here they are.
I'll share more after his selection and editing.

This first one, and several like it, are ones I look forward to seeing after some editing is done.

That's a great career field if he chooses to continue. I have a niece who is a photographer and does really well...

What kind of photography does she do?

Great work even unedited. Share them when he finishes.

Mostly weddings, birthdays, but some corporate functions. She does a fair amount of video, too...

Looked like a fun day on the road.

Nice to see and hear of a younger person finding an interest and really getting into it .
Especially one that could be a fun and prosperous one as a full time career.

( bonus for you being the getaway driver. )

He seesaws from pure hobby to possible career.
He also has college certificates in HVAC.
Right now he is a Fishing Outfitter for Bass Pro... He loves the job and it's perks, but knows it's not a career choice.

He's a rock solid 18yr'ol, no problems out of him whatsoever.
He'll do very well in whatever he chooses.

I had a blast driving for him.
We broke some minor traffic laws, but what the hey

He's a great kid, and I couldn't be more proud of him.
Yep, this passion could pay the bills if he chose to pursue it as a business.

If he likes the work and doesn't mind the hours, this is what I'd recommend. I know several who retired in their 50's and are well off. A couple have multiple houses...home, 1 at the coast, and maybe 1 on a lake. But they worked hard for it, started their own companies and did well for themselves...

That was his plan, own his own hvac Co. by age 25.
Which is also why I keep pressing him to go back and finish his 4yr business degree.

Very cool! One of these days I want to take a course on food photography.

Looks like he's got an eye for it. Nice work

Great pics! Amateur photo nut myself. Shot a few weddings/prom/and the like. Not so easy to do moving but bike photos are usually shot lower than eye level to create a larger than life perspective. Laying in truck bed maybe. Moving does not need be 70mph.

food photography.

Most of that is called "macro". No joke good friend of mine did all the Hot Pocket over shots during college. The steam is model train smoke LOL
