Questions For Interviews

After extensive thought and research into which questions will get me the most useful information from the practitioners, I will ask the following questions:

1.)  What was your desired occupation when you were growing up?

2.)  Where did your photographic career begin?

3.)  Do you have a degree?

If so, what is your degree in? And, do you think that potential commissioners/ employers look for a higher education qualification?

4.)  When your photographic career was in its infancy, where did you find work? And, was this work steady?

5.)  How do you go about pricing for a commission? Hourly, day rates etc.

6.)  What do you find most affective in terms of self-promotion?

   For example: Website, word of mouth, business cards, flyers etc.

7.)  Are there any photography magazines, blogs, books or websites that you find particularly useful or inspirational?

8.)  What does your personal photography entail? And, how does this differ from the work that you are paid to do?

9.) What advice would you give to an up and coming photographer?
