Inspiration
Find people with interesting lines of work,
such as a chef, and photograph him in his
kitchen. Maybe photograph a welder or an
artist standing near his or her latest piece.
You can find something interesting in
almost any line of work. You can also pho-
tograph someone who has an interesting
hobby as I did in figure 6.14. This gentle-
man participates in Texas historical
re-enactments for fun.
Once again, talk to the person; he or she
probably has some ideas for interesting set-
tings as well. After all, your subject knows
better than anyone what the most interest-
ing part of his or her job is.
