I think there is a huge misconception on alot of peoples parts.

People dont seem to know the difference between a world class Commercial Automotive photographer, versus a magazine shooter.

When shooting for a magazine, you are shooting an editorial. You are covering what you see. You arent really creating a scene to an extent that a commercial shooter does. Commercial shoots all have a theme or a base idea, and then it builds upon that, storyboarding is not uncommon, as well as a sketch of your ideas. This is what sets Tim Wallace, Easton Chang, David Vaught, etc. They are creators, not journalists. HUGE DIFFERENCE!

Please dont be so arrogant as to think that you cant learn something from anyone who shoots a photograph, even if you are judged by the Nations best. If you keep thinking that way, you will never move forward. Hell everytime i shoot i learn something, from someone. Keep an open mind. Im happy that Tim is in here, i would love to hear his thoughts on lots of different things, especially how he sees light, and how he chooses to manipulate it to the varying subjects.
