If you cry about that, you are not cut for professional work.

I don't want to be a professional photographer. I just want to take good photos. This has happened to me at least twice. I don't understand why people don't want a good photo

I would just have taken a nice photo and given them the phone

>>4317059
They wanted me to take a photo with their phone, not with my camera

Bro just tell them they're gonna have to work with you if they want a good photo. Otherwise, don't even worry about it.

>>4317062
I bet they think I am a bad photographer now because the photo was shit but it was her fault. Idk why they even asked me if they didn't want me to use what I know

>>4317066
>caring what random normies think
I'll bet they don't even know your name

>>4317068
I am never taking anyone's photo ever again unless they also let me take one with my camera so I can show them

>>4317070

>>4317061
Would just have taken a nice picture (with their phone) and given their phone back.

>>4317048
that guy pounded her face that morning

>>4317078
I couldn't given the limitations I was given. I think they just didn't care about getting a good photo. They just wanted evidence of their day out.

This other weird thing happens to me a lot when I'm out where people will ask me questions about the place I'm in. like
>when does the park close?
>how long is this trail?
>how to I get back to the parking lot from here?
etc, like I would know. Sometimes it's literally the first time I've been there myself and when I tell people I don't know they look at me with this wounded look. It's very confusing to me.

>>4317048
>white
Whoa buddy. Why did you have to bring race into this?

>>4317100
There are a couple of reasons I've figured out and at least one of them applies to 90% of blacks.
1. Black people are generally too high time preference to prepare for, let alone go for a hike. I've only ever seen them /out/ as the unprepared ataché to a group of white people who are literally carrying water for the nigger who's hiking in an old pair of basketball shoes
2. Black people have no appreciation for the natural world
3. Black people are a superstitious lot and think that wypipo and native americans be doing rituals n shit innawoods

sounds like they wanted a photo of the scene with them inside rather than a portrait. Try to consider what the "client" wants retard.

you suck anyway or post some for us to appreciate, frog poster

>>"no, stay there" She calls out
>>"b-but you're so small in the fram-"
>>"That's fine" she cuts me off, sounding nervous about my attempt to move

Anon this bitch is mentally ill. I want you to think about this. She sees you as someone that will do her a favor but simultaneously an evil male rapist murderer. There is absolutely no reason for you to feel upset because of some crazy bitch.

>>4317048
I believe they act like that simply because they do not understand how we artists do things. It is a common occurrence for photographers to attempt to correct poor composition on the fly, and people tend to take that personal. My advice is to do what you can, but accept the things that you can't change. You could attempt to inform them of their poor choice of posing, but it is just as likely that it will result in you getting into a fight with a clueless person. So in summary, they do it because they don't know any better.

>>4317048
You should have offered to take the photo with your own camera and then ask her for contact details so you can send it to her. This only works if you are not spilling spaghetti everywhere though

>>4317048

it is called environmental portrait, photographer shoots with 28mm equivalent from seven meters away and pro tourists and land owners are happy

>>4317048
>be me
>be out on a hike with family
>oh look, a photographer, someone who knows how to handle ultra wide focal length environmental portraits
>hand over phone and ask to take a picture

>hike ruined, gonna beat my wife and kids
hope you're glad, OP

no they think your a bad photographer because youre a bad photographer

>>4317128
>wypipo and native americans be doing rituals n shit innawoods
tell me you never did a ritual innawoods. if you havent you're not white (or native)

>>4317048
all of this could've been mediated with
>sure, I'll take one like this and one like that
and them being in the shade can often help with no harsh light on their faces and less weird squints

>>4321223 Sugar, I say this with all sincerity because I don't hate you -Humble yourself, stop embellishing, and stop referring to yourself in 3rd person. If you ever wondered why people seem to shit on you for no reason, this is the reason. Stop it. There is such a thing as too much confidence

>>4321223

Imagine being this autistic, holy shit

>>4321233

What is there to embellish? Just go outside, this is shit that actually happened I don't lie about shit on here the fuck do I have to prove to some autistic bed-wetting teenagers on a Malaysian underwater competitive basketweaving BBS

have a little bit of confidence and it will go a long way, too many people these days afraid of everything

>>4321223
There is a small difference between being confident and being full of shit.

>>4321233
When did this start? Last time I was here like ~9 months ago, he was completely normal verging on friendly. What changed?

>>4321281
I don't think it's being full as shit as much as delusions of grandeur. Sugar's alright, just a bit too self aggrandizing which overpowers his other qualities at times. It's our duty to take corrective actions like he's a doggo before the next wave of newfags start hating on him

>>4321283
No idea but it comes and goes. Appears in waves, usually I don't say anything but it's my turn I guess

>>4317048
Kek, I never go shooting anywhere near people but once while visiting family I went to a national park for a walk. I heard people coming so went off the trail and sat down because autism and I was high. A young couple passed and I heard the dude say "nothing like a walk after sex" and then the girl said "i need to poop".

That memory is going to live with you forever. And maybe now for me too.

>>4317048
Don't worry too much. They think they know what they want and get excited because they can not imagine you doing any better than the photo they have in their mind.

fine.

but really though, have some confidence folks, shit goes a long way in life not just photography. I wished I had been like that in my 20s I missed out on a lot of opportunities because I was a huge bitch and was too scared to fail.

and yall need to travel you wanna talk about humbling >>4321233 drive 1.3 million miles around the country and expose yourself to new cultures. Don't see America throuigh the square box in your hand go actually see shit.

>>4321283

sometimes I post shit just to talk shit and stir the pot bros this is 4chan that's what this place is about, if that's a problem go back to plebbit.

If you're talking about the States, there is a huge contrast between the Midwest Farmer and the 20-something faggot in the streets in (insert blue Democrat city) protesting a war while having absolutely zero life experience, and I have seen both in one day. Hell, pic related was a bunch of Democrat and Republican Boomers arguing about abortion at a truck stop.

I'm serious, get out and travel go experience new shit. Life's too fuckin short to stay in your little bubble

could be my inner faggot showing through but how do you take this photo, like, did you ask them or just do it or what? I feel like they'd get mad at me if i jjust pulled out a camera and took a shot.

>>4322818

I don't ask for permission and they all weigh as much as a house and are 20-30 years my senior, what are they going to do, sic Alex Jones on me? Have the Trump death squad come round me up?

Do you think Henri Cartier Bresson, Margaret Bourke-White or Dorothea Lange asked for permission? Do you think Vivian Meier asked for permission? They just do it.

>>4322812
As much as I hate you, this is actually a good photo. It has that 'renaissance painting' thing going on

>>4317128
The innawoods ritual history of America goes in this order:
>Indians
>Escaped black slaves in maroons
>Wypipo
Black people hike, I know I do. I just do it where it's safe. Don't even have to worry about Deliverance-type shit (I mean you do but); just get hurt and see how long it takes someone to come rescue you.

Is that your fucking snoytendie gamedude on the table in front of you? Actual nice photo btw
