Do you think photograhy should be just a hobby?

Well iv seen some like pictures just friends or family have taken and they are amazing and then i go look at some professional photographer and think “meh” like they aren’t that good a lot of them. And soo many people think they are like photographers when all they can do is aim a camera. I have no issues with someone expressing there love art or creativity through photography but it isn’t fair that some work is “better” then otehr or should get paid for over others.. I think it should be a hobby not a job. Whats your opinion?

Answer #1

The success of media like photography, music, film and other arts depends entirely on how many people see it and their common tastes. You personally may think something is garbage, yet there are thousands of people out there who’ve seen the same work and think it’s a masterpiece. I believe there is no talent or art in most country music, but many people think it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Answer #2

its should be a job but the people hireing them shouldnt be stupid and pick people who cant take good pictures but i agree with devin on that some people will like it and some people wont everyone is different

Answer #3

Answer #4

At one point you’re going to have to start paying off your camera gear.

I know quite a few professional photographers and I myself do shoots here and there for some money.

Senior photos is a great way to get started. There is an amount of stress involved with photography, technology makes it SO easy for ONE bad review ruin your career.

Right now, I just tag along to weddings and work with other local professional photographers to learn how it works. It’s an amazing experience.

Build a great portfolio and that will help you get some jobs.

I think doing what you love or have a passion for is great. And if your ability to do it, is such that you can earn money and make a profession out of it…well The best jobs in the world is being able to do what you love and get paid for it.
