I was wondering if you guys could help me out... What are some good questions to ask if you are going to interview a photographer? If you consider yourself a professional photographer, what questions would you like people to ask you if they were interviewing you about what you do?

I actually personally during when I was in highschool shadowed my local photographer. So, I had to actually come up with questions a while ago.. and he said they were ok. It was a while ago, but here are some of the questions I believe I asked him, 1.)What was your inspiration for becoming a photographer? 2.)What do you do on an average eventful day as a photographer? 3.)What did you do before you were a photographer? 4.)Did this play any role in you becoming a photographer? 5.)What do you photograph for your job in particular?(You probably will already know this, but it's good to ask.) 6.)Do you feel as though being a photographer is a pretty busy job or fairly open? 7.)What other jobs did you have that relate to this job? 8.)Of those jobs, which one seemed to be the one that guided you most to a photography job. There are some of the ones I had anyways, I dont feel like typing them all! But basically. Try to have a question, then a follow-up question as you'll see I did above. It's the best way to come up with a lot of questions. Like. If you already have some questions which i'm sure you did, you could just add follow-up questions which will help get you much more efficient information. Like. If you only ask one question and not a follow-up one, you might only be scratching the surface for that on particular question! I hope this helped, I tried my best. :-D well as best I could do for it being about 5am and me not going to bed yet!

Qns. 1. Will you please explain what made you a photographer? 2. Is it a hobby for you or do you earn your livelihood from this profession? 3. What types of photographs you take? Nature, sceneries, moments in actual life, Scientific pictures? 4. If you get a better earning job will you quit photography?
