Lunch with Andrey

August 3, 2007 | Filed Under Daily Life, Random Thoughts 

Yesterday, Will and I had lunch with Andrey Mikityuk of Corrie and Andrey Photography. And we had a great time talking about the craft of photography, what makes a photographer unique among his or her peers, and how the business of photography doesn’t suffer with the rise of “competition.” Why? Because the business of photography isn’t based on “widgets” like Wal-Mart, Best Buy or the like. When a company sells a product that is basically the same as their competitors, the only thing the buyer can do is shop around until the best price is found. Unfortunately, shopping for a photographer isn’t that easy. Each photographer is one-of-a-kind. Even with those of equal technical skill, we could never duplicate how another photographers sees the world. It’s the photographer’s vision that sets him or her apart from the rest of us. And that’s what makes photographers like Andrey a true artist.Thanks for the engaging discussion Andrey!
