I often find that people are confused about photography as a profession (and become even more confused when we say that we don’t do weddings!).

The system of photography types and disciplines is nebulous, and is often a mystery to the photographers themselves. In part, it comes from not wanting to limit and label ourselves. It’s like, to get rid of a high school nickname you had to leave for college. Once you call yourself a product guy, you may have to leave the area to rebrand yourself as a portrait guy.

No doubt I missed a few types, but here’s an approximate pyramid of how it works:

Here at AR Studio we do people, product, and architectural photography.
For advertising, corporate and editorial uses.
Commercial photography all the way.

Wonderful Machine’s still life promo, we were in it.

Chilling in the backyard.

Bavarian Alps, Germany.

Beautiful views while hiking through the woods. This was on the way up to the most visited castle in the world, Neuschwanstein (not shown).

I’m not a fan of diner fare, but this place has so much character, it’s worth a visit. And they serve fresh lemonade – just the thing for this +45C weather.
