What is about photographers that makes them assholes?

>>3032093
because they get sick of shitposting cunts like you

>>3032098
Second it.

Looks like the only ones that are ass holes are the ones that don't use olympus.

I don't know why they are though. /p/ is obvious, it's fucking 4chan, and people are more concerned about memeing and shitposting than they are about photography, just look at the photos posted on here 90% are pure shit.

>>3032138
I think 90% of the photos posted here are pretty good

>>3032163
And you're part of that 90%, that's why. im sorry

>>3032093
It has nothing to do with the "photography" part and everything to do with the "community" part. As soon as you get a group of people talking about something, they're bound to be absolute shitheads.

>>3032163

A whole lot of photos of buildings

>>3032093
Mostly, because there is a long history of shitty, people who have never had a logical or practical thought their entire lives being told that they are "special, free-spirits, and very 'creative'". Those people who can't fit into normal society then grow up actually believing they are special and creative and that being an introverted social retard is an indication of a deeper intelligence, so naturally they should be doing something 'artistic' right? But they don't have the patience, coordination, or creativity for something like sculpting, painting, or any actual art form.. so they pick up a camera and take brooding black and white pics of street trash and pretend they are expressing something.

>>3032093
because the chief attribute of a good photographer is recognizing the beauty of girls who are out of his league

>>3032093
Because photography isn't really that challenging and if the normies ever found out the jig would be up.

>>3033562
but photography is already a normie hobby.

Because photography is safe and fucking easy. They know they don't have what it takes to become filmmakers and are horribly insecure about it, perhaps even on a subconcious level that escapes their awareness.

>>3032093
Because it's a fine art that has a very high skill ceiling and a very low barrier for entry. It's the CS:GO of art

fucking kek

hooooo boy... somebody needs to see a shrink!

I think it's gearfaggotry, honestly. I can't figure out why people get so narcissistic and defensive about their gear choice. Just like I don't understand the people who keep bothering bc they chose the "wrong" camera/lens/system

>>3035115

Photography is more like the minecraft of art

>>3032093
>why is the photography community so obnoxious, pretentious, jaded, bitter, selfish and toxic

1.) If you think that because of browsing /p/, remember what site you're on. Every board is like this.

2.) This attitude is not limited to photography at all. I think the most common denominator is competitive urges. People want to stand out and be the best/better than most.

>>3032093

>toxic

There's that meme again

>>3037499
>get top tier gear
>pic still look like a shiet

Gearfagging and normies with social skills who aren't awkward around strangers
>I'll see myself back to /r9k/ ciao

I immediately think less of a photog if they wear a stupid hat.

Happens so god damn much

>>3037499
>The best camera, is the one you have with you - Chase Jarvis
>Olympus sucks because their sensor is too small - Anon who always shoots wide open for a super thing dof in every shot

>>3032093
I'm not an asshole just some autistic fuck that has issues getting his ideas translated to other people because again I'm a social cripple

>>3038795
Why wouldn't you want sun out of your eyes?

Just how stuck up precious cliquey they tend to be. Every photo club I went to treats newcomers like a leper, whether they're good or bad.

>>3032093
it simply attracts these attributes much like cosplay or modelling if you can't hack it find another hobby

>>3032093
Because it's a hobby/profession where you're literally trying to sell yourself and your look. It's hard to promote oneself without soundling like a cunt.

because you take pictures of people without asking, put an old man to the verge of tears once after he photographed me

this. can't knock the hustle.

as for me, I became an asshole partially through /p/ but mostly through trucking. you think I'm an asshole here? you should see me on CB radio. CB radio is essentially the precursor of 4chan. Everyone is anonymous and everyone talks shit, usually while sitting at a truck stop not making money, plus the demand for drivers has gotten to the point to where just anyone can get behind the wheel with minimal training and it is attracting NEETs and spergs who can't hack it in a normal 9-5

>NEETs and spergs who can't hack it in a normal 9-5

now I understand why you do it
