>Why did you start to take photos?
I was in a time extremly depressed, I made a friend and we travel a lot. He liked to take photos and make videos of everything, and I start using a camera that was forgoten for years, I enjoyed that time and I have all the memories with my photos and videos I made there.

>Why do you like photography?
It's like freezing the time for an instant, it's magical, all the edit is pretty fun too. I constantly learning and improving.

>Does your gf share your hobby? or no gf?
Yes, and she has a better camera than me.

>What do you feel when you take photos or videos?

I feel more watching all photos or videos than when I'm making it.

>Why do you like photography?
I have a very short term memory so it's nice to be at home and look at memories. Also I like analyzing things and you can only stare at ppl so long in public but at home, alone you can look at photos for hours. I also like it that it's a chance to meet attractive, young girls.

why do you take/keep/post pictures like this of people who are looking right at you and visibly uncomfortable half the time and then the other half go on about how it poisons the sacred candid purity of the moment or some bullshit when somebody notices you taking their picture?

>Why did you start to take photos?
My dad got cancer just before retirement and started to buy L-lenses, 1d etc. Stuff that amateur photographers dreams about.
When he got too sick and couldn't do nature photography anymore, I tried a 300mm on my shitty 500d and got few ok pics. At the same time I left my job as a mechanic because of stress and the job was shit anyway. I started to dream about making money with photgraphy. I don't know 'why'. I guess a shit ton of good glass is stupid to sell because it's harder to get back. Also I drew stuff when I was a kid so maybe they connect somehow(propably just autism).

>Why do you like photography?
It's fun to think about technical stuff about light and time. Like adding a little time to make water look more fierce or calm(pic related). Ofc it's also fun to make something that you yourself figured out. People like Cartier-Bresson had humor in their documentary, wich is also awsome. You can leave a fingerprint of your own mind on that stuff. Also nature keeps one fit, I have ankylosing spondylitis, also enherited from my dad.
I want to belive that beaing very troughout in photography will eventually carry me somewhere because in heavy, low-paying job it surely wont.

>Does your gf share your hobby? or no gf?
Fuck no and she propably would have left me already if she did. I sometimes feel like I'm poison to other photographers around me.

>What do you feel when you take photos or videos?
Fear, stress, thinking about settings being wrong. My heartbeat is really high. With animals especially, nothing teaches better than those few seconds. Next time the settings are not wrong.
Depends on subject really. Riots are exciting, documentary makes you think slowly but more deeply, talking to people on street while asking their permission and laughing to small talk just makes me feel like that sun on teletubbies.

Sorry for the long text.

because I needed a hobby. telling people I play video games makes me sound like even more of a loser and photography is more easier to tell somebody about
>why like
because I am very depressed and even moreso if I'm stuck in my house all day. sometimes I have no energy to leave the house or the weather is bad (north Scotland is a wet place)
>gf
no gf (or any friends)
>feels
happier, feels like I didn't waste my neetbucks on a DSLR and one prime lens and I learn how to use manual mode better. most of my photos are shit and I'm too embarrassed to post them here but I try to learn from advice posted here for other people's photos.

>why did you start to take photos
A mix of my mom’s Kodak Easy Share, great granny’s collection of LIFE magazines and boredom

>why do you like photography?
It gives me something to do, introduced me to the “artsy” people who aren’t as bad as I thought, helps me remember those unbelievable moments (shit memory), and well I’ve gotten photos of stuff that I wouldn’t even dream of sometimes

>does your gf share your hobby
I think she enjoys me doing it more than doing it herself, it’s nice to have that support

What do you feel when you take photos?
A little bit of a “fuck yeah!” If it was one of those decisive moments, bit of panic whether it’ll come out alright or not, and joy

>Why did you start to take photos?
I've liked exploring stuff ever since I was a kid and wanted to take photos of whatever I found.
>Why do you like photography?
It lets me intensely focus on something and do it at my pace without having to care about anyone else's wants or needs. It also leaves behind a log of things I did which I like to go back to.
>Does your gf share your hobby? or no gf?
No gf. I only shoot solo. Company makes me distracted and my photos go to snapshit tier.
>What do you feel when you take photos or videos?
Focused, calm, clear. When I'm out shooting, I'm not thinking of anything else. I take my time to set up and shoot, as much as I need. It's the direct opposite of my work in heavy industry where I'm constantly running against the production schedule and delivery times. It reflects to my taste in photos, I prefer calm scenes with few people and cold tones.

It may sound intimidating but you absolutely need to, in my opinion, post your work where people will say something about it.

Strip away the noise and take from the critiques what you can use, apply and see what that does for your photos.

Why did you start to take photos?
I needed a hobby that didn't involve just sitting in front of a computer. Like nature so photography seemed like a good choice. I also like to take photos of my pets so I'll have something when their gone.
Why do you like photography?
It gets me out of my room and makes me go places I wouldn't otherwise. I also like the technical aspect and learning how it all works.
Does your gf share your hobby? or no gf?
No friends or a gf. [spoiler:lit]would really like to have a group of friends to go and shoot with ;_;[/spoiler:lit]
What do you feel when you take photos or videos?
That the photos I take are inadequate. Sometimes when I post something on /p/ people don't call it utter shit. That feels nice.

My boyfriend doesn't share my photography interest but every once in a while he will let me shoot him and also be my test subject for new lighting. Hes not fond of pictures of himself so it's really sweet of him.

>Why did you start to take photos?
To take skate photos when I was in high school, got back into it when I went to university in a new city as a way to explore and get to know a new place.
>Why do you like photography?
It’s rewarding to capture fleeting moments well when everything lines up right. It’s also just fun to do something that feels somewhat productive even when you’re just wandering around aimlessly
>Does your gf share your hobby? or no gf?
She draws. It’s probably better she’s not into it desu
>What do you feel when you take photos or videos?
A lot more tuned in I guess? I’m kinda spacey a lot of the time, shooting always calls for more awareness/concentration which is a good feeling.

Because its the only art form that moves me and amazes me how much thought and feelings a simple photo can bring about. I wanted to be able to do the same

>Why do I like it?
Like I said above, it is incredibly moving and telling for its apparent simplicity (not that taking good photos is simple)

I had no other way to make a profit and make a low standard living. I owned a Nikon D5000 that I was getting used to just for fun, and then I was hired as an assistant photographer at a local shop. They pretty much saved my year and I got in love with photography

It's my meditation and my will to get out of home and doing something

I don't know if she is my gf, but yes, she's works with social media

>start/why
I have always been interested in photography. I don't know why. My first job was working in a darkroom/developing film. I can play music well, but the rest of my family were incredibly painters, sculptors, what have you and I was always envious of that talent. I guess photography is the closest I can get.

>gf
I hate to say it but my girlfriend is an idiot with no attention span. No joke, basically Jillian from Family Guy. Now that I think about it we really have nothing in common.

>Feel when in moment?
I'm not really sure. I'm not very good yet so maybe when I improve I'll know? It's just relaxing right now. Something I enjoy.

I do really want to improve. I feel like I am slowly getting better. I feel like I know what makes a good picture, I have read so many books on photography and seen so many videos. I think I have the knowledge. But when I do take photos they always end up garbage.

>Why did you start to take photos?
I used to love taking pictures with those disposable cameras when I went on field trips as a kid. So last year i decided to buy a dslr to take pictures of a trip to a lake that me and my friends go on every year.

>Why do you like photography?
Its relaxing and I like going back to look at the pictures to remember the fun times.

>Does your gf share your hobby? or no gf?
Nah m8 im a loser.

>What do you feel when you take photos or videos?
Feels good when I take photos while I'm doing things I enjoy. The problem is I don't often do things I enjoy doing. It always brings a smile to my face to look back at the pictures though, even if most of them are trash. Then after i relive those memories i can go back to feeling like garbage thinking about how I'll probably just wake up, go to work, get home, play video games, go to sleep, and repeat until i die.

>Why did you start to take photos?
I've always liked looking at family photo albums, and one of my biggest fears is forgetting, so I'm a bit of a digital hoarder.

In middle school I secretly took a photo of a girl I liked with a shitty phone camera.

In highschool I kept sort of documenting moments with friends and when I was about to graduate I bought the most basic film camera and took some shots of the graduation party, pic related.

>Why do you like photography?
It's easier than drawing.

>Does your gf share your hobby? or no gf?
I've had a few but none of them liked it or apreciated it when I took their pictures.

>Why did you start to take photos?

Cause I wanted to do something creative and it seemed a good idea. I have always felt a need to express myself in a creative way. Eariler I tried music and I sucked badly at it.

>Why do you like photography?

Cause it always allows you to create something new. It lets you meet new people, go to new places, make new frends.

>Does your gf share your hobby? or no gf?

She is an alternative model, we met during a photoshoot. Posing is her passion and a also a way to make money (aside from her day job). I would have never met a girl like this if I wasn't a photographer. So you can say we share our passion for photography and art.

>What do you feel when you take photos or videos?

I feel that I'm in a place where I belong.

Dunno pretty much had a camera my whole life (obviously didn't shoot a lot when I was a kid)
>Why do you like photography?
It's a good way of archiving memories like that time you went camping and caught a big fish or that one holiday you took to Hawaii. I'm also an art fag so I enjoy them for their artistic values, they capture a single point in time forever.
>Does your gf share your hobby? or no gf?
No gf but girls I talk to are always interested in my photography. I went out on a few dates with this girl who likes photography but it didn't workout.
>What do you feel when you take photos or videos?
Happy.
