Very John mayer

"We are hot chicks with big cameras. We don't need talent" :-D

The male is such an idiot.

Does that guitarist work at Boutique Guitar Exchange in Atl?

Craigslist ad.Sounds about right.

so funny, yet sadly so true !!!

John Richardson there is no such thing as an amateur who charges money. And by undercharging they are pissing the well they want to drink from. I'm not 'threatened' by anyone's talent, especially people who need to charge peanuts to get work, but Im not going to get into a pissing contest and I'm certainly not going to 'out' myself by showing you my work, you do understand people who run a business need to be mindful of what their clients see them talking about online?

And I'm sure "PewDiePie", "NigaHiga" and "Nerdist" are their real names. Get real. You don't even have any info about you and you loaded 1 video. Hardly a photographer of the amateur or professional capacity. A 'hot chick with a camera' probably has more of a photographic eye. But thank you for being today's internet troll. Feel free to post some of your wedding/professional work to prove me wrong and upon inspection, I'll gladly reconsider your stance.

What makes someone an anonymous coward?

...I had my photos in one of the biggest museums in Chicago and I am far from where I want to be. I am a Fine Art Photographer. I am aiming for high market art clients. I use a film camera....

Pros don't look down on amateurs, doing it for the love of the craft is how most of us started out. They look down on people who get a new camera one week and think they should start charging the next. I studied and practiced for ten years before my first paid gig, and I never took on work that is the domain of a professional. You don't 'get experience' by devaluing the profession you hope to make a living from in the future, very short sighted.

I meant to say a problem with people trying to get into the business undercharging and charging at all before they should be. Imagine thousands of people coming into your work and offering to do your job for free or very little because they dream of doing your job. Never mind it took you years to acquire the skills to get where you are, and these people are not competing on a level playing field, no insurance, tax etc. and they don't need to make money because they have a day job.

Very few pro photographer are 'elitist' they are just battling a huge problem with

You should do both imo. It'll give you a lot of insight into what positions to chose, the comfort of the model. Well if you do studio work.

ugh i hate that hot chicks with cameras stereo type. im an attractive young woman who has been scouted to do modeling but id rather be behind the camera instead. i hate when ppl assume im just a pretty girl who takes pictures to be portrayed as artsy. i have talent and a passion for it.

Well said, Ive been making a living in photography for many years , started with 35mm film ,then medium format film and now digital . I also think "some" photographers are an elitist pain in the ass , we ALL started somewhere and as long as the person "starting out" has researched what is required and has the desire to do a good job for the client that person can only improve. If you have little experience but the desire to do a good job you can climb the ladder...... how far up ? up to you.

Photo journalists need the skill to see the shot and get it by developing intuition to be in the right place to get the shot, to be fast thinking and creative all at the same time.

I have not been to college for a degree in photography, or a bachelor of arts. Im not saying that these qualifications are not good but I have 25 years of wedding photography experience. I can take a well exposed creative photograph in any lighting conditions and have good people skills, top end pro equipment.......what more do I need ?

Maybe if you guys took better photos than green box amateurs, people would want to pay you.

lol, thank you.

seems to me you didn't get the point of the video

It's interesting that professionals also had to start out as amateurs as well. I guess they forget where they came from. Allow people to grow in their crafts not that they need anyone's permission.

lol my bro saw this girl with a DSLR (forgot which model) and asked her if she knew how to use it...she said "YES, i put it on this green box and shoot"

sigh the word is lens not lense.

I would like... you to make... a movie for me, Joss Whedon. It will be about cheap clients that won't pay for good quality work. I would like for you... to shoot this movie for free. My boyfriend's daughter wrote the dialog. Her 5th grade teacher says she is the best. We would also like Samuel L Jackson to make... a cameo appearance. This movie will be seen on UA-cam by 70,000 people so it is good exposure. You should do it for free. Or I could just use Xtranormal Movie Maker myself

of course. Ive been educating myself about it. learning about the ISO and shit. Lately ive been trying night photography, but its difficult with only the kit lense for a wide angle lense. But i need to try to get the fire flies. do like a 70 second exposure...tough with light pollution though. It wouldnt feel right taking shitty photos for money. I get more enjoyment when people tell me "wow, you took that picture?"...ya know?

and this shit is funny haha...but true.

Im an amateur with a dslr. Ive got the kit lense and a 85-300mm lense. Ive researched how the camera works, and can successfully edit photos to make them look snazzy...any ways i can make cash with my skillz? Im saving up for a macro lens...it makes me sick that my sister has a newer dslr, but she only got it because she liked my camera. All she does is take pictures of herself in the mirror....fuck.

i am soo with you. i'm ten years in the biz, but i'm in the lower-income market. i work a lot, but my wedding average is around $600. the people who hire me can't afford any more - some of them cant even afford me, and thus i lower my price just for them. i'm working class, and i've built a business out of absolutely nothing but my own ambition to learn and create. my main competition is sears & the like, and moms with cameras, a facebook account, and free vistaprint business cards! lol.

Am I the only one who finds "if you can type you can make movies" ironic??

it depends on the photographer,not the camera exactly..

If you can only afford a wedding reception at the local lodge or friend's backyard; you likely can't afford a "real" pro charging a grand or two. Many people simply want FaceBook pics & a couple prints of their less formal event. But, pros turn up their nose at me & these people who seek out "so-called semi-pros". Do I have to apologize to the "pros" for filling that need when they would otherwise be having their cousin taking pics with his point-and-shoot? How did you pros gain your experience?

Michael Freeman just said it best in the video I watched just before this one. "Professional Photography means making a living from it." degrees are for people that are too insecure with their own abilities. Many people have had very successful lives/careers without ever getting a degree. Having a degree doesn't preclude failure.

Well, actually a hot shoe is not adjustable =], but, the off camera flash that photographers have attach to the camera via a 'hot shoe', the flat, metal, square shaped object on top of the camera with circular contacts that the flash slides into to receive the signals/information from the camera how to fire when told. Google "hot shoe" in quotes and you'll see images... =]

what is an adjustable hot shoe?

scott leonard is next white brian mcknight

@lifeistruelyabsurd Actually photo people stay where they are generally (speaking as a former walmart slave- I mean employee)

WHAT IS THE FIRST SONG?? OMG

@lifeistruelyabsurd The term "chimping" is used for photographers (mostly amateur) who inspect every image after taking it. The noise usually made by said photographers admiring every individual photo is "oooh!, oooh!, aaah!" The idea is that if you are a competent photographer, you shouldn't have to inspect every individual image after taking it.

@sapphire8402 Typically, a professional is just anyone who gets paid - If you're talented, then you're talented. If you're educated, you're educated. You can be terrible but still be a professional (technically)

I never follow anyone, but this thing made me feel miserably understood, so I'ma follow you.

@socialincastmedia I'll definitely think twice before posting such an opinion. I didn't realize that wedding photogs had those issues to deal with. Thanks for the heads up.

@christschool No worries. I think you are most likely a good guy/gal that didnt really think through the post you initially made. Its hard to put a context to the feelings behind posts, whether they be serious or tongue-in-cheek. Just be aware that a lot of wedding photoraphers feel put down constantly for their trade. And if you truly think being a wedding photographer dont take talent... then i'd suggest doing a wedding. I try to avoid shooting weddings if possible. good luck with the bullies

@socialincastmedia Here is a link to a very talented wedding videographer/photog I enjoy: davidrobinfilms dot come

@socialincastmedia I don't mean to bully, if it comes across as that I'm sorry, not my intention. There are some wedding photogs I think are very talented. I'd call David Robin very talented, in fact I'd say he produces some of the best mixing of photography and video I've seen. Google this: Vimeo, David Robin, Joya and Emre. I think this is really good. I think wedding photography though is something that pays the bills for him though, while he pursues his interests. Sorry, if I offended.

@christschool rrrrriiiigggghhhtttt..... and you are not generalizing over the few low level wedding photographers out there. I have friends who are talented photographers in all areas that make a very good, professional living on the wedding photography. And while your videos on the bullyiong at the christ school are very touching and well done, it seems a bit hypocritical that you fight for the bullied and diss an entire profession. You are simply a youtube troll.

@socialincastmedia The Christ School way? Well, I've got several videos on that, mostly negative. However, no, I don't consider buying cameras and a service professional. Most wedding photogs I know couldn't shoot a landscape well. Most of the ones I see advertising on the internet are not what i'd call professional. Most of what I've seen is terrible. That's why it never occurred to me to classify someone that takes weddings as automatically professional. Perhaps I have a higher stand.?

@christschool Wow. Christschool, you think people dedicated to a trade, investing in equipment and training, providing a valued service does not seem professional to you. What does the Christ School teach anyways...

@MrBladeCrash - Now we go from one squishy definition, "professional" to another, "artist". Have fun. If a person has to chimp, they don't understand the craft of photography, plain and simple. Time for them to load a film camera with some E-6 film and learn the craft.

@MrBladeCrash - I agree. I also believe that many who call themselves a "professional photographer" today, will change their definition of "professional photographer" in 4-5 years (If they make it that long). Why do people aspire to that title, and shoot for the lowest target of what defines a professional? The humble who actually think they are "semi-pro" will likely be the ones who are around in 5 years. They will continue to learn, and realize how much more they need to know.
