If you had the chance to interview a photographer that you admired what questions would you ask? If there was only one question you were able to get an answer to, what would it be?

Please share your questions by commenting below.

Please include a website or legit email address that I can get in touch with you if need be. Your questions may be used in a future interview series. Credit and links will be given if your questions are used.

You can also share your questions with me on Twitter or Facebook.

note: Please try to keep the questions serious. The photographs that art participating in this interview series are willing to answer any questions thrown their way, to a point.

    • "How tall is your dad?"
    • diddydonn
      When did you know Photography would be your career of choice?
    • That question is already in the interview. Thanks for submitting and keep them coming!
    • Fred Shively
      I'd also ask how the hell do I get rid of my wife's photo which mysteriously keeps appearing on things like this!
    • I'm sorry, I don't get it :/

      Is that a new telephoto or are you just happy to see me? Sorry, I'll get serious. Sort of. Ask about influences other than photographers. Artists, writers, music, architects, philosophers.
    • A very similar question is already part of the interview series. Keep them coming!
    • Question: Why don't they make more strobes w/focusable Fresnel lenses? I can see the benefits of soft boxes, particularly those with grids, but a hard, hot-light look could potentially make for more dramatic images. Your view?
    • That's a good question Donald but it's more for the manufacturers not the photographer that uses the equipment. Thanks for posting!
    • I would ask 'Do you find yourself always looking at the World wondering how it would look as a photograph?' I know I do most of the time.
    • I do too! Great question Peter!
    • Faylin Myhre
      A couple questions~
      1. Can you describe that "moment" (experience, emotion,) when you knew that photography was something you just had to do?

      2. If you could take your art in any direction without fear of failure or rejection, where would it lead. What new thing would you try.
    • Thanks so much, great questions!
    • My question is : Is there something you always ask to yourself/think just before you push the button ?
    • That's an interesting one. Thank you very much!
