What type of photographer are you?

[jsrockit]

I was just wondering what type of photographer you consider yourself to be.

Of course, I missed a few options, and some of you fit into many categories, but out of the options I have chosen what best describes the bulk of your photography?

If there is not a category that suits your photography, then choose other or don't participate. And by "photographer" I mean it by its simplest definition... a person who takes photographs.

Er, is this supposed to be a poll?

Give me a minute sir... it posted the thread before allowing me to finish the poll.

observant. It is not in the poll so I can't vote ...

Don't forget to include disgruntled. 😉

Oh well, too bad. 😉 I would think this would fit in other...

That sounds personal to me.

Sorry for the typo in the title.

I voted the closest category for documentaries. As far as what type of photographer? Easy...

Broke and hungry.😉

I forgot to list documentary, but I would have lumped it in with photojournalism. Of course the poll isn't perfect and some will need to let me know that, but it's not a big deal if you choose to not vote or just vote other.

I consider myself a "confused" photographer because I shoot a lot of desolate urban landscape that suggests neglect, abandonement and lonelyness, but I also shoot a lot of street that is just the opposite.

Also adding to this confusion is that I shoot SLR's, rangefinders, TLR's and different formats so having too much gear than I really need compounds the problem.:bang:

Generally 35mm is mostly used for street and MF for urban landscape, but because of confusion there's a lot of crossing over.😱

Urban landscape is still street for me. Street does not have to include people.

There you go ... 😀

Yes, that is exactly what I did...and happy with that.🙂 Thanks for this thread, it should prove interesting.

Not really directed toward anyone--just the vibe I get here lately, but maybe it's me 😛

John,

Thanks for unconfusing me. LOL.

Now I can vote.

Same for me. Voted "street" for that.

Ah, now it's there 🙂

Maybe it would have been a nice idea to make several options clickable instead of just one 🙂 Certainly would have made it easier for me!

I thought about it... but decided against it because it gets messy. I did say though:

"Of course, I missed a few options, and some of you fit into many categories, but what best describes the bulk of your photography?"

I am intrigued by the inclusion of "fictional"

I consider some of Duane Michals' work to be fictional... to give you an idea of what I meant.
