Photographer bio/about me

[logannhatfield]

What kind of information would you include in your bio? I'm beginning to write mine and I keep getting stuck, because I'm not quiet sure

what to include.

<p>What kind of work are you looking for?</p>

[logannhatfield]

Portraits, are my primary interest.

[Spearhead]

<p>Well you can look at <a href="http://spirer.com/info.html">mine</a>. I'm not sure how much work it's brought me, I tend to get my work through word-of-mouth.</p>

<p>Just put yourselves in the reader's shoes. What would you want to know about a potential portrait photographer?</p>

[john_macpherson]

<p>Make it first person. Make it friendly. Make it interesting. Make it engaging. Don't make it up.</p>

<p>What I won't include in mine:</p>

<p>- "My love of photography started when I was handed a Brownie ..."<br>

- "I am a FINE ARTIST ..."<br>

- "I produce giclee prints ..."<br>

<p>Peter and John both have bios on their sites, as I do. Since it appears that all three of us are doing well, I would read those and see how those relate to what you want to say.</p>

<p>Thanks so much everyone! Writing about myself has always been a weak spot for me.</p>
