How can you cope with the fact that photography is always inherently limited by the current world. If the images that you've dreamed of can't exist, if you can't find beauty in the current world, then what use or joy is there in photography.
I sold all my gear except one body and two lenses. I rarely take my camera out anymore except if I'm already doing something else interesting. I don't go out with the intent to take photos, I go out and bring my camera just in case there is a photo worth taking. I no longer stress if I see a potential shot while I'm driving because I don't need to get every photo, I just appreciate the moment instead. I focus on more compact and lightweight gear. All my lenses are cheap, floating aperture zooms now. I don't have GAS, I don't follow any review channels anymore. I can't imagine why I'd ever buy a new body or lens outside of damage. I am no longer 'a photographer', photography is just something I do as apart of my life. Miss a shot? Doesn't matter, miss focus? Doesn't matter. They're just going on instagram my guy, relax. No one actually gives a shit.
don't get me wrong, i think there are some truly beautiful photos out there--"street" photos i mean specifically, i guess, but what im about to say transcends that and can be extrapolated to the world of fashion photography and whatever else photography (in those contexts, everything im about to say is probably even more relevant LOL). I even took a lot of photos on a film camera years ago of random shit (some of it even published). But something ive noticed after observing “photographers” online (see picrel):
These HAVE to be some of the most lamebrained, least artistically gifted people who claim to have an artistic gift. Watching picrel’s channel they (besides maybe daniel arnold, but even him) are just some of the most vapid, shallow people imaginable taking photos of le 'interesting' and 'unexpected' instance of 'happenstance'. The artists themselves seem extremely shallow and talentless, and therefore the shit they take is incredibly shallow and its meaning so obvious, so unavoidable. At best, they’re trying to recreate le Gary winogrand or whomever. Anyways, know this is the photography board of 4chan, but I figured I would find some likeminded folks here rather than poasting on reddit where they’d just downvote me into oblivion.
dont let the youtube watchbar fool ya, i watched a lot of these pieces of shit
Hi, im amateur and mostly shoot my animals and nature during my rare trips. My mom has some clothes that she sewed herself and also we have some form my gradnma collecting dust. Before donating, my idea was to create an album from them, basically, >10 pics.
How do i work with models? Need to contact an agency or just connect straight to them via ig or something? Also do i need real models and wannabe models? Cant i just browse ig for half an hour, find a couple girls i find would do go and try? Do i need to make them sign papers or smt? Also just do boring af aws catalogue tier pics or try to emulate shots from vogue? For crazy poses, do i need an actual fashion model™ or a random girl from ig/college/my neighboor will do?
I’m trying to find the 4k version of the pic above because I want to make a custom poster to hang in my room. It’s just a cool photo, really iconic, and I’m about it. Now that I got that gay backstory out of the way I come to /p/ and ask because no one else seems to have it. All the news articles have lower quality versions, and moderators have removed it from websites like reddit or imagestock. Search engines just return those same low quality news articles; google/bing doesn’t even try to return a search that is consistent with my query.
Can anyone help me out and provide the 4k photo? If not, can anyone help point me in the direction of where I can find it?
This is my favorite camera in the whole world: the Canon AutoBoy 2. It's a point and shoot film camera from 1983 that has autofocus.
I bought one a couple of years ago. Mine is so clean that it looks new and all of the functions work. I love the photos that come out of it because they're clean and have good quality while still looking like they're from the 1980s. I have a few exposures left on my current roll and I'm excited to get it developed soon because I've been working on this roll for almost a year now. Also I love how the camera looks, it screams "1980s" in a way that a lot of the cameras from later in the decade simply don't.
Say something nice about the best camera ever made.
