Fact: photography is for people who can't be bothered to

fact: photographers get hot ass girls naked in front of them so they can take pictures to be used in references that you can obtain in infinite quantity for absolutely free

why don't you take it to >>>/p/catalog and >>>/hr/catalog? There are no photographers here to defend their side of your fact.

>>2801965
Anyone could do it, though, you don't have to be one of those people who waste their lives studying photography, of all things.

Unless you have actual data on this, it's an opinion, not a fact.

Go eat a quality assortment of dicks, hack.

>>2801965
Photographs capture reality, while art captures an artist's interpretation of reality.

>>2801986
Photographs capture the view from a lens, not reality.

>>2801986
I'm not talking about photography, since that's literally just capturing something for later, I'm talking photography as a form of artistic expression. Also, art is better at capturing what's real as well most times.

fact: hot ass girls never ask you to photograph them naked and have sex afterwards.

fact: you will never impress normies with your photography skills without abusing filters.

fact: photographers who photograph naked girls are never going to have sex with them.

>>2801989
Photographs capture the lens' view of reality.

Does it eat you up inside knowing your life is so empty and sad you can't just contaminate one board and have to cross-shitpost like that?

I wouldn't talk too much shit on photographers as they inadvertently supply half of illustrators' reference material.

>>2802028
Nah, at work, so can't really draw yet anyway. Does it eat you up inside knowing how hard you're projecting right now?

What if I told you photographers in the past knew more than any painter today? The problem is how art is being taught today, not the medium.

>What if I told you photographers in the past knew more than any painter today?
I'd ask how that pertains to the discussion.

>>2801965
I do both

>>2801986
A Photographer merely takes a shot of a person. Artists CAPTURES a person.

I still appreciate nice photographs though

>>2801994
that stuff does happen sometimes though

>>2801965
Photography and art serve completely different purposes and aren't really comparable.

Even so photography has a much lower skill ceiling which would appeal to normies that want to do something "creative" without putting in much work.

>>2802083
Of course they are comparable... Fuck this 'not even comparable' meme.

>>2801994
false my buddy had sex with two of his models, and both of them after taking photos

photographers are the cucks of art.

>>2801994
those are all just false, sadly

shut up ignorants

>>2801965
Ha

Makes sense. Irving Penn initially wanted to study art, but he grew disappointed with the results, and took up photography instead.

His photos are works of art, though. I usually look down up photographers, because most shit I see is just stands of shit.

But Irving's work is artistic.

How are you going to do your own reference shoots if you can't use a camera?

>>2801965
I guess you're a bad photographer.

How are you going to do your own shoots if you can't compose?

>>2802052
What if I told you that

A. Oscar Gustave Rejlander was an accomplished painter before being a photographer so your point is moot

B. Your dear Gustave...

>He abandoned his original profession as a painter and portrait miniaturist, apparently after seeing how well a photograph captured the fold of a sleeve.

So even your example of accomplished artistic photographer thinks that painting is shit, thats why he left it.

go to bed, Irving

>Be you at a park, capturing the image of people.
>Not drawing, but taking photograpies.
>Basically taking creep shots.
>Hot ass girl notices you're taking creepshots of her and her friends.
>She gets closer to you.
>You're an autistic fuck and freak out.
>She greets you, you awkwarldy reply back.
>She asks nicely to see what are you doing.
>You hesitate, but decide to show her a slideshow of pictures of little girls, their moms and a couple "artistic" lewds.
>"Wow anon, you're skilled, would you take a portrait of me?"
>You accept.
>She sees in awe how you adjust your gear to take a portrait.
>"Wow, you're talented" She says.
>You don't value her words, but you understand that it's a compliment and smile back at her.
>You take the picture.
>She wonders how can you adjust the focus and push a button so easily.
>"T-There you go".
>You can't give her a print of the picture, because it's a fucking digital camera.
>Anyways, she gives you her number.
>Both say goodbye.
>She returns with her friends.
>You return to your creepshots.
>You call her. She invites you to her house.
>"Would you take me a picture like the picture of Rose in 'Titanic'?"
>You accept.
>She gets naked.
>You photograph her.
>You fuck her afterwards.

Because this happens.

what actually happens is there are more hot models in the industry then photographers that work (are needed) for modeling photography so they fuck the photographer to get ahead in the industry

i know 2 guys who had corporate gigs in photography and they had sex with models all the time

they both ended up doing java codeing for more money oddly enough
