Photographer Profile

For my personality profile, I plan to talk to Bernie Henaghan of Frostburg, MD. He has been in the photography business for fourteen years. I interviewed him for my feature story. It was obvious that he loves his job as a photographer. Even though it is his passion, he is full of practical advice for beggining photographers and is always able to answer questions that they might have. What is most interesting about him is his desire to create perfect images. He is sincere with his critiques about his and other's images. He told me that he is a perfectionist when it comes to photography, and has in the past been honest about the many things I need to improve on with my images.


What I also enjoyed listening to was his honesty when it comes to turning his photography into a full-time business. For instance, he admits that sometimes he was located in a more populated area. He told me that it's good that I was in the Baltimore area, as it is easier if you have a talent for photography to be located in an area such as this.


Above all, his sincerity about photography is what is most impressive. This is why his story would make a good story for photographers to hear. He makes it clear that it takes more than talent to make it as a photographer. And even though he is honest about this, he remains positive about his career, and it is obvious he has a passion for what he does.
