  The word -Tiring sound very negative in all the working space even in sitting job. But in our profession tired photographer always lose the shots, always miss the opportunity and other end number of lost things. This article is about the photographer not about the photography tips. If the photographer is not fit all the time, not quick, not fast, not active etc then he should not try to become photographer. Photography demands lot of challenges from the photographer not one time demand but keeps on demanding and every time you have to perform better. In our profession, most of the beginner photographer always ignore this inbuilt requirement of photography. I hope you must be watching Discovery channel and other. You will never find even a single over weight, fatty, lazy photographer and cameraman who shoot the entire location, episode, wildlife, travel etc. Being fit is the top priority for them. Here I would like to mention that ALARM yourself before its too late. Sometime being

Commercial Vs Editorial Photography

Most of the people are always confuse about commercial and editorial photographs. Even beginner photographers also confused sometimes. There is a huge difference between commercial and editorial photography. Let's clear the doubt about both the photography and understand the right genre wisely. Never mix both the genre together otherwise you will get confuse.    Commercial Photography - Those photographs used for marketing, to promote products, to promote sales & services, used for advertising always called commercial photography.  These photographs always work as strong tool for the marketing.

Anyhow I managed and I shot this tomb. Now see the result. It is now one of my favourite photographs.  The purpose of writing this article, No photographer try to shoot against the bad weather condition, bad light c
