Most people here don't take photos anon, they just look at charts and pretend they are smart.

>>4490773
See: cANON

>>4490769
Don't need an excuse because I've accomplished enough for myself photographically

>>4490769
What excuse? I'm already shooting professionally :D And ive only been doing photography for like a year :D

>>4490779
I always call out the meanibgless charts based on measurements not done in equivalent conditions though.
Also the super tak is great but radioaktiv so I avoid them.

>>4490803
>I pretend I'm smart
That's what they said

>>4490769
I'm a poor hobbyfag

>>4490769
>I shot only 3 photos this year
>if I was to sell my gear nobody would buy it since it's ultra-low niche hobby here
It's over.

The problem is 99% of the time I don't have it with me

I find the nepotistic art and fashion world to be a disgusting astroturfed propaganda op by a few billionaires and that everything pays better than sucking their cocks unless you’re basically their third cousin or make yourself useful to their astroturfed social engineering attempts.

This isnt new or unique to any one tribe. Artists have always either been whores or poors and good art is prescribed, not recognized. All art promotion is inherently some form of propaganda. It is this that makes it worth paying for to the greedy psychopaths who have always ran every society going back to anatolian farmers. You will never find a supposed master who did not have greater clients (or that didnt suck in some way) and you will struggle to find all the equally talented people who simply didnt - their works are being shown in goodwill despite being every bit as good as shit in the louvre. Don’t quit your day job.

Success in art, and being an artist, are different things. They call it an industry and a market for a reason.

Must be nice growing up in a nice family that has disposable income and supports your interests.

The "sleep for dinner" kids like us didn't get a chance to be creative until we were older. I always wondered what my childhood would be like if I was given something other than video games to engage with. I guess in hindsight I should just be lucky I had a PlayStation to keep me entertained (when it wasn't being pawned off for a loan), but holy shit I wish I had creative outlets or just, you know, basic access to hobbies.

So yeah, seeing this smarmy little fuck trip and fall into nepo success doesn't make me admire him, it just gives me another example of the unfairness of the world.
>inb4 poorfag
Not anymore, niggers.

>>4490769
In principle, good for him if he likes it, but he looks soo damn punchable

>>4490769

>>4491571
>"sleep for dinner"
Hits home with me. I also got critiqued for doing so.
>Be neglected
>Never any food in the house
>Hey why do you sleep after school? You lazy sack of worthless doodoo.

There's only two things I hate in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.

>>4490769
All that build up and his photos at the end were all just woke-coded corporate slop.

>>4490769

Who is we?
And for someone with that job he doesn't know how to smile at all. It looks like he is always disgusted

>>4490769
Dude turned his hobby into his job. He's living the dream so good on him.
Only thing I don't like is that modern hyperbolic lingo like "Turned passion into purpose"
Purpose?? The fuck are you on about purpose? You just turned it into your job.

>>4490773
tpbp

>>4491571
Nailed it. I can't stand retards who go "huurrr midlife crisis" whenever I take a new hobby or do something different. Guess what motherfucker, I would have done and bought all this shit way sooner if I wasn't busy being fucking poor. Fuck you.

>>4491571
>trip and fall into nepo success
You would have done the exact same thing with your kids if you had the means to give them something like that. The whole "nepo" hate thing reeks of jealousy.

>>4492866
People don’t hate nepo babies just because they’re nepo babies. Theyre hated because they pretend they achieved their goals through hard work and perseverance, when in reality it was just handed to them. If nepo babies were up front and admitted it, some people would be jealous still but there wouldn’t be as much hate.

I hate reels so much, recently I tried looking up film photography on Instagram and the amount of videos of people just loading film into cameras. Like fuck off im not watching that and every retard is doing it, instead of just seeing my photo you can spend 20 seconds watching me setup my camera.
Yeah na I won’t be, I just went back to Flickr.

>>4490769
I managed to do the same without being nepo, getting into commercial photography really isn't that hard if you just start at entry level but few people want to do that since it zaps your interest.

>>4492912

This is the real truth, opportunity cost exists. For every second doing boring commercial photography you could have been photographing trains or naked women instead. Plus also working a full time job paying more than commercial photography.
Once you realise this, this guy is basically just fucking up wasting years in a low paying job when could be climbing the corporate ladder, also his job boxes him into only being allowed to shoot boring photos.

Everything becomes annoying soulless shit when you go pro, it's fucking labour, no one will pay you to do something that feels good all the time.

>>4492957
The pay is also shit too. People think you get paid a lot, but you don't.

>>4492900
That's true, but people forget that somebody from the "higher levels of society" face different challenges. This is an extreme example, but a starving kid in Africa who just wants food and water (which is of course a much worse problem), will never know what it feels like to having to deliver shit for a company for a deadline so you don't get fired and can come home and feed your kids while your wife is nagging you threatening divorce. And if you are a nepo kid but you're actually genuinely talented then you'll face a lifetime of people talking shit about you etc.
Yeah some people benefit from having wealthy parents and just get shit handed to them, but it's just become a popular thing to hate more recently. But everybody would do that to their kids if they had the means. It would be important to also teach them the value of what they're getting so they don't squander it or take it for granted, but fucking hell. There's not a parent in the world who wouldn't love to be able to offer their kids stuff like that.

>>4492982
Yes and no. I think the other anon makes a good point about if a nepo is too defensive or doesn't admit to it vs just straight up owning it. As far as photography is concerned, I'd say that it's a smaller part nepo and more about being privileged/from a rich enough background that you can afford to just be a basic bitch and not worry about if it'll keep the lights on. The stuff in the OP is extremely basic commercial work that would pay like ass and would need to be propped up by his family.

And I know because I was in different areas for commercial and it pays like ass across the board. It's a sad line of work to be in since people know it's a dream job to people and there will be 1,000 others that can instantly replace you. The only truly enjoyable paid photography work I've found is stuff like conventions or work you find yourself, where every job is in your control and you can stop working when you've had enough. My day job pays more than triple anything I got from professional work and now I just do conventions and corporate stuff on weekends for the fun and having a little extra money, since I can choose how long I work and where (or if at all, as I won't even do it every weekend or even every month).
