You seem to have a knack for photographing people who love their work. As one who likes to document family history for the next generation, I don't think we do enough of these types of pictures anymore. I love the old photographs of my great-grandparents on the tractor or in the work clothes, etc. it helps tell the big picture story of their lives. Too often we just have special occasion pictures.
Wow, I didn't realize I was standing on my soap box when I was typing this:D

Jaye. Good evening.
I am shooting people at work or people in their professional activity, as a project.

People I know and people I ask "Mind if I take a picture of you doing your work ?"
Sometimes they just tell me "Oh no. No..."
But when they say yes... here I go.

I try to shoot under different angles or using some kind of technique (flash) to make my pictures different and better from the others I see.

Sometimes no, often after I have shot I think that I should have done things differently... Oh well ...
Thank you for commenting. D

Antonio....he looks like he's in deep thought on the first two..then on the 3rd, saw you. I'll bet if you layed on the ground further away with a zoom lens (that way you wouldn't get scooped up) :D:D you could get some neat perspectives.

Hello Swartzy ! How are you ? And everybody else ?
I try to get different perpectives. That day I was not wearing my "work suit" rofl I mean, jeans and sweater, but just "normal" trousers and shirt.
I could not lat down on the ground just like that ... No blanket around either ...
But you made a good point. Next time, next time...
