jayanti Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 A real photographer will not bother about her reality and won't care to respond to this question. So, the moment I decided to respond, I became a non-real one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User_4136860 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'm not a "real photographer" but I hope one day I might be one,and not one of these wannabes who call themselves professionals as soon as they can take recognisable pictures of people , and objects, who take on professional work and give professional photography a bad name after they have made a mess of it,. I've never wanted to make money out of it, having to take pictures would spoil it for me, my photography is like singing in the shower, I do it because I enjoy it, and have for more than fifty years, and hope to continue to do so.

hjoseph7 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Are there any good books on how to become a "Real" photographer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelaMolnar Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 It is a relative question. No such a thing as real photographer, or everybody is a real photographer as long as they had a camera in they hand and still alive. Artist is an other mater. Real photographer is like a MAN, it is not mater stupid are the individual, as long as he is alive, still a MAN. One more time! NO real photographer, only good one and bed one. Period.

rascal64 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I think a real photographer would be out working her craft instead of responding to a funny but otherwise useless thread on photonet. In that sense....I have lost a point but I think I gained it back because I do a terrific peacock imitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cisco_bastias Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'm not a real photographer yet, but thanks to everyone who contributed I now have a list I can start checking off, so I can become one. Question: If you live in the city is there another animal taking a dump I can shoot to try to complete the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rascal64 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 If the lion is eating the peacock...I would say that's a triple score. Moonlit shot? You're off the charts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_cox2 Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 A real photographer gets stopped and questioned by the police when trying to take pictures at an airport. And then asked to leave. Yes, this happened to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a._j._jacobs Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 A real photographer can get a photo of a hummingbird (or any bird) in flight and have it come out perfect on the first try. They also have to have an awesome lightening shot in their portfolio...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lex_jenkins Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I scanned the bar code on my head to see how much real photographer I contained. "Unidentified non-archival materials, Hubris, Caffeine, Ibuprofen, Wisenheimer, Assorted Spices, Mixed Media, Corrupt Data ... Corrupt Data ... Corrupt Data ..." That's as far as I got.
