    Being prepared for all the different photo shoots that come my way is a challenge, just as it is for many photographers. I never know if I’ll be asked to make a portrait of a single person, a family of four, or a pet. On the other hand I’ve been asked to shoot a motorcycle, a small automotive part that measures less than 2 inches square, and a pair of snow skis. Obviously that’s a wide range of sizes and shapes!
