Your Favorite Photograhic Genre

[RayPA]

OK with the recent spat of genre-bashing threads (not really, but...) I thought I'd open a poll. What's your favorite photographic genre? One choice. Elaborate if you want.

Have a great weekend, All!


🙂

p.s. apologies in advance if I missed your favorite. I still have 4 options so I THINK I can edit and add.

I really enjoy suburban-middleclass-nude-housewife-photography...but since that wasn't a choice I chose street.

Well, it's really hard to pick just one. I do landscape, nature, portrait, street, product, etc. (hardly ever nude housewife in the landscape). 😎

How about every day life.

 

[woodphoto]

Other, being that I'm a photojournalist. The closest in the poll would be sports.

I like looking at the documentary stuff so picked other. I like to see the photo books and check out a project that someone has dedicated allot of time and effort. Want to do the same with my own images one day.

Should have been a choice...but
Do you mean favorite or what you do the most of?
That would be "family".
Rather like "street" but you can yell their names and they might turn, and they probibly won't steal your camera.

Landscape. No surprise there, I'm sure... 🙂

 

[Dougg]

Environmental-type portraits, and community/documentary... can't really call it "street", but it's not portraits in the sense of arranged groupings or studio work either. Landscapes too. One category missing from the list would be academic/intellectual, like artsy geometric shadows for instance.

i picked street because i don't really do much of anything else.
90% of my shooting takes place in roughly a 3 to 6 square block area centred around life on whyte avenue.

My favorite genre to shoot is the "death of industry" or "industrial ruins" category. So I chose other. Guess it could sort of fall under landscape, but it's closer to architecture or historic documentation...
I don't have a clear favorite to look at. Like movies or music, I like whatever tickles the spot, whatever genre.

I tend to be a big fan of documentry photography

but lately I have been a sucker for portrait photography; specifically the older Vogue and Harper's photographers

If for no other reason to see the different technique, posing, and style

Its all interesting to me

😛 Funny!😛 I'm sure there's SOMETHING on the 'net that'll fulfill that particular fetish! 😎

I chose street, because for me it provides the greatest opportunities and challenges. I also enjoy landscapes, particularly urban landscapes and street segues nicely into that, it's a two-fer category for me.

Portrait. Even my street photography, i like to get in close and acually get a person with a good "feel" in the location. So i guess what i call street, most would call environmental portraiture.

 

[Nachkebia]

Portrait and Street but together 🙂

 

[jonasv]

documentary...

 

[DavidH]

Well, since "cold isolating visual extractions" wasn't an option (or even proper english)...I chose 'other'...
🙂

I do enjoy the street photography on rff...I just can't do it...

 

[Rafael]

I chose street. I certainly love portraiture. But when I manage to find the time for some of my own photography, I invariably spend it walking the streets in search of images. Street potography is what I most look forward to.

 

[FrankS]

What I would like to do is nudes in abandoned industrial, urban, and rural settings. All I need are the models and the permission.
