Hi! I should say that I cannot answer this question ... I never actually shot in a company. Once or twice I've been invited to the studio where I shot with another guy. Once or twice I went for a walk with the friend and he or she had a camera. But this does not count, as it was more or less ra

I like to shoot alone. It gives me more time to concentrate on getting the results I want and not worry about keeping up or getting too far ahead. Noise is for me less the issue than time and schedules. The expectation of how much should be covered in one day varies greatly in any group. I find

Hello Frank, Well, I'm just a lone wolf, I always shoot alone. I like to take my time, but I would feel uncomfortable seeing all the others waiting for me to fire that damned shutter at once. In those moments I'm very concentrated, you may shoot a cannon behind me, and I likely wouldn't notice...

I myself prefer to work alone. I have had enough of the roughing between PJs trying to capture the same moment for their respective papers of e.g. a President shaking hands. Well, some PJs are friendly, and some are not. And of course any good photographer doesn't want to take the same photographs
