Last week I wrote an email about photography snobbery. It got quite a reaction so I am building on that in this video of the blog post. This will also give you a break from me banging on about real estate photography!
Photography snobbery is this awful thing where people look down on us for not following their preconceptions of what we as photographers should be doing. Here are 10 examples - I am sure you have your own which I would love to hear about.
1. You have to use manual mode to be a proper photographer
2. If you wear the camera strap with your camera model on you look stupid
3. You can’t take proper photos using JPEG
4. You aren’t a photographer if you use autofocus
5. Film photography is the only real photography
6. HDR is cheating
7. Editing photos is cheating
8. You have to use layers to be a real photographer
9. You can’t take good photos at noon
10. You need the latest camera gear

In this blog post I will tell why these things really annoy me, and conclude with what really matters. As I said, let me know if you have been subjected to any form of photography snobbery. Read the full post here - https://rickmcevoyphotography.com/pho...
