The 3 Personality Types of Photographers

What type of photography you enjoy to most often is about the type of person you are. Through the years, I've noticed that photographers generally come in three personality types.

1. "THE ARTIST"- The Artist only cares about their art, their craft and more importantly, themselves.  They are usually highly skilled and very good at what they do. But they come with a high price tag and may not be suitable for working with other types of groups. Typically, the Artist often becomes a high end wedding photographer and they are the folks you hear the stories about. At my brother-in-law's wedding we had a photographer that would not let anyone take photos of "his poses". Well as we all know you can't copyright a pose so with a family full of photographers, this went over like a lead balloon and really put a damper on a day that was supposed to be a happy occasion. 
2. "THE LONE WOLF"-The Lone Wolf is a photographer who likes to "do their thing" away from people. They gravitate to photography that doesn't involved people such as nature, landscape, animals, birds, etc.  They like the great outdoors but they also like to be computer geeks and will spend hour after hour working on the perfect image. Because of their advanced computer skills, they are very good at what they do. However, the sales and marketing end of the business is a mystery to them because it involves people.
3. "The People Pleaser"-The People Pleaser photographer usually excels at the sales and marketing end of the business. They may not be as skilled as The Lone Wolf or Artist but they make up for it by attracting new customers to their energy and enthusiasm. Their downfall comes about by trying to be all things to all people and then end up under pricing their product and their time.
