Maybe nobody cares and maybe I'm dumb to be surprised but I just want to stress how unglamorous actual pro photographers - and creatives in general - are.

A lot of them are kind of losers. The image I had of photographers being cerebral, well-rounded and cultured guys has not proven to be true at all.

I work in healthcare but I run a small business doing sound engineering work. I do very specialized work recording live concerts and classical music, usually working alongside photographers/video crews. A lot of them are honestly just fucking weirdos, at some point I probably was too. It's a bit like pic-related (apologies for normie meme)

I mention this because prior to this I did much more paid photography gigs, but I got sick of it because a) the profit margins are a joke and b) I didn't fit in with the people there and they knew it. I'm not saying I'm better than them, but it was not the focused, intellectual crowd I hope for.

An anon here once saidA that he got into photo-journalism because it is a field that vagrants and ne'er-do-wells can get into and I 100% see it.

Older guys are good though, they're always helpful and polite.

whats ur favourite candid photo? ill go first.

I'm killing another gear thread to get some advice on editing. I think I'm getting better at framing (?lol) but I'm colour retarded. Here are some samples of the last snapshits during my holidays so fags can re-edit them and snuggly post a better version of them while I try to understand why I'm retarded

I tried taking this picture with phone camera, i'm using pro mode, what should i do to improve my photography?

Is porn photography still a viable career in 2025?

God this photo by Pedro Martinelli makes me feel things you wouldn't believe.

Ah, the open twisted road, cool breeze, bike, sun intensely shinning after a strong rain and thus giving the whole atmosphere a mysterious aura. You can see nothing but the road, you want to drive away from all of the shit, there is only road, all else is black.
