Is photography for shy introverts?

No, like, average normies can't do things alone, they'd have to always be with someone else, not alone. Introverts are comfortable being alone and they're not bored with individualistic activities. Normies get bored easily with taking pictures alone and reading a book in public.

No. It’s either for extreme extraverts who like taking pictures of their friends on a trip to Barcelona (my coworker) or someone who isn’t well spoken but likes people and loves talking to random people and shooting street (me). Model photographers are pretty chad too, Araki banged almost every single model he shot.

I can only speak for myself
The M3 and more so the Rollei are very recognizable cameras which draw a lot of attention from strangers. They often become points of conversations with people that can range form short comments like, "wow, nice old camera, can you still get film for that?" to long stories about their father or uncle who had a camera just like it. I do like it for these conversations, I likely wouldn't end up talking to most of these people otherwise, so I don't think of myself so much as a shy introvert, maybe more of a reluctant extrovert.

if you're doing something that requires not talking to anyone, sure. otherwise, no.

Of course. Even worse, it is for fetishists that like to capture life and make it a still lifeless memory.

I am an extrovert when needed, and can be an introvert when l am doing something that requires it. There is a balance of having the right amount of both qualities. People who are too extroverted are needy as hell from my experience. Those who are too introverted are well future serial killers, or they are never seen. There never seems to be a happy medium with them.

No, it is mostly for normies now since they make up the majority of photography now, thanks to smartphones.

No I mean real camera photography. Smartphone photography is not photography let’s just be real here. If you don’t fiddle around your aperture and don’t use different focal lengths you’re not a real photographer and to me you’re just a normal civilian.

>>3284385
I’m introverted and I don’t hate people, I’m just not comfortable with myself when I’m socializing. I’m 25 so that’s kind of fucked up.

>>3284374
The talking part is nice but it’s really exhausting for me. I’m always scared of embarassing myself that’s why.

>>3284255
I don’t particularly like people, I just like nice composition and color.

As an awkward introvert, I bring my camera everywhere and I always wander around the city by myself after work to take pictures alone. I think that makes me intellectually intimidating to chads who are taller and better endowed than me. So even though they get all the girls, I can still be satisfied with myself.

I am a photographer.

Just because I solely use my phone doesn't mean I'm any less of a photog that you. Stop gatekeeping.

Well you have to learn to not really worry about not worrying whether you will screw up around people. We all do, especially now with too many being hyper sensitive. I do not go out of my way to repel people, but l also don't worry about it either.
I am in my 50s, and learned long ago you just have to go for it, and keep moving.

You can be a shy introvert and an excellent photographer, but you have to be outgoing and self promoting to gain a following or widespread appreciation.

Better start learning macro or product photography anon. Lots of possibilities within the house.

Photography helping 4yo with autism socialise with others, communicate with family
>When Max was diagnosed with high-functioning autism a year ago, it just made sense to mum Danielle Pritchard.
>The three-year-old Brisbane boy had been having troubles with his speech, anxiety, and social skills among other small quirks.
>Soon after that, Ms Pritchard decided to put a camera in the young boy's hands.
>Since then, the now four-year-old has been more focused, and able to better communicate with others, including his own family.
>"When Max has the camera in his hand, he has an air of confidence around him," Ms Pritchard said.

I hope that's a full frame camera otherwise the kid is going to have an autistic fit when he learns to read.

Well, here's something you can do. Go outside for a walk and then go back home after about 30 minutes. Then, try to remember the faces of everyone you walked past. Did you remember any? No? Well no one is going to remember your face either.
Sure, if you're shooting, people are gonna look at you out of curiosity, but then they'll forget all about you. So go out there and have fun, anon.
