Once you let go of worrying what others think about your photography or how they will classify it, only then will your photography truly represent the world as you see it.

“A group of artists are invited for dinner by a famous chef.

In greeting the photographer, the chef comments:

I love your photos, they’re wonderful, you must have a very expensive camera.The photographer doesn’t reply and walks into the dining room.

After dinner the photographer approaches the chef and says:

Dinner was sensational, very exquisite flavors, a true work of art,

you must have a very sophisticated stove.”

I believe it's our responsibility as photographers to pull the best out of our clients; no matter how stiff and lifeless they are. - Peter Hurley
