Possible Questions To Ask

  • When taking your photographs, is there a particular progress you go through such as working on instinct or pre-planning your photographs through sketching what you want the composition to look like? 
  • Is there anything that influences your choice of colour scheme or lighting within your photographs? Do you plan specific colours and lighting before hand or experiment during the photoshoot? 
  • Some people describe your work as [comment from a relative, second-hand source - research needed here]. Would you agree with this statement? What would your response be?
  • [Choose particular aesthetic feature within their photography] is a dominant and recurring feature in some of your photographs. Is this a deliberate element that connects to the themes and ideas that you wish to express within your work?
  • What tips would you give to a photographer who was emulating your photographic techniques and processes?
  • Has your work been inspired by any other photographers? Has your work been shaped by other things such as people in general, events or situations?
  • On average, how long would it take you to create a piece that you are fully satisfied with? 
  • Do you ever experiment with other ways of producing your photographs? Are there any processes you'd like to experiment with in the future?
