Photography - Science or Art?

Last week, I was working with another photographer on a job, photographing a country estate. As we methodically moved from room to room, setting up our lighting, selecting and changing lenses, adjusting white balance and generally taking our time to get every technical detail right, it struck me just how different this type of photography is to what I am usually dealing with – photographing people.

Portrait photography is 10% about photography and 90% about the subject. I spend the majority of my effort and energy during a family photo shoot on getting the best out of people. Photography is both a science and an art, but the balance of the two shifts depending upon the field of photography.
