Some people behind the lens don't realize the impact of their requests and actions, while others take advantage of their position. Things models hate about photographers are nearly endless when you consider the harsh reality of the industry they work in.

Festival
Standing in a crowd of strangers, it's one of the most lonely feelings. Every passing moment brings new faces, voices, and chaos. Conversations begin to jumble together into one indistinct clutter of noise. This noise is what fuels the wall between you and the crowd. The crowd is comprised of many other groups and pairs. Groups of associates uniformed together to accompany each other in unison. Pairs of acquaintances traversing the grounds as a team. Individuals looking for a way to where they believe they belong, and what they believe is the ultimate outcome out of their choices. Yet, none present any connection to the individual being (at this particular moment) that is you, you who stand amongst the many.

Reasons Why School Pictures Always Looked Awful
"Picture Day" at school is always made up to be a much more important event than it really is. I remember when I was in elementary school, I thought it was a genuinely big deal with legitimate real-world consequences. The fact of the matter is that the amount of thought and stress you put into preparing for school pictures, it doesn't really make a difference on photo quality. Which is just fine, because no matter how good or bad the photo is, it serves the same nostalgic purpose when you're looking back on your photos years later. It begs the question though, why have school pictures always looked awful?

Crediting
Crediting people's work is always an odd topic to talk about. Or at least as I find this, especially at what point do you stop crediting? For example I would be fine not being credited for taking a picture of someone on their phone on a night out. But I would like to be credited if I used my camera, and especially if I were being paid. Having said that, I know someone who would want to be credited for the picture on a phone.

Beginner Photography. Top Story - October 2018.
Photography is not something I planned to do as a hobby. It fell right into my lap. It began when I had a friend begin playing rugby. She invited me to her games and after a while I began snapping photos with my phone and posting them on FB. Soon I pulled out my little Nikon handheld camera and started to bring them to games. The pictures were grainy and just plain old bad. However, I became known as someone who enjoyed taking pictures at the game.
