Your Favorite Photograhic Genre

[pesphoto]

nudes are my favorite....

......oh, youre asking about photographing? That would be ok too.

 

[Concrete Island]

Architecture and Nature mostly.

Portrait and Street but together 🙂

same here ... street portrait 😀 and everything about street 😀

 

[italy74]

With a RF, the answer (looks to me) is obvious: street.
With a SLR, well, I'd say I like shooting people and places.

I chose other because what I really like is travel photography (which inherently implies that I am not stuck at work).

I think I'm in the same category, minus the nudes. I just love rotting buildings. Never quite know what to call that genre.

I also enjoy the rotting buildings. In fact, anything dilapidated, rusting or decaying. Would that be decadent photography?

 

[otaku]

I love all genres but lately (I blame my girlfriend) I am into nudes the female body (not so much male nudes haha I'm biased) is so beautiful.

Other... Anything interesting to me that passes in front of my lens and is worth recording.

For viewing I really enjoy other people's family snapshots. They must be 15 years old (the photographs) or older and taken on crappy "consumer" cameras, Kodak Instamatics or the like. Even better if they are flea market/boot sale finds (the photo's) with no context whatsoever.

"Street" all the way for me too. Maybe if I was still in TX it would be different but being a foreigner here gives me a certain fascination for photographing all Korean people--but especially women in their 20s to 50s. Nudes would be nice here too, but in this unbelievably conservative country, that would be impossible.

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

Does it look like this suburban-middleclass-nude-housewife-photography

Other as Im primarily interested in the photographic diary, the recording of points and things that prick my eye (or maybe as Barthes calls it "punctum" ). I am influenced by the philosophy of photographers such as Wolgang Tillmans, Nan Goldin and William Eggleston. You might say Im interested in recording life in its multiple varied aspects. I will photograph anything and everything if it raises an emotion, I have photographs of half eaten burgers!

 

[wblanchard]

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

If youre ever in Germany, I will hook you up with my friend who shoots industrial nudes.

Other...Why? I see it like this..if you go out hunting for only a particular subject you have cut yourself off from 95% of the creative fruit that is surrounding you.

Or lets say you see people who say.."Oh I cant shoot "that" because it reminds me to much like a photo shot by...Mr. X ( Famous Photog ) or the reverse which is people who try and duplicate a famous image. All of these people are subverting the creative process. They are so blocked or bent that in the end all of the images lack any creative spontaneity..a failure.

"Other" to me means that you walk out the door as a totally open creative player who is stimulated to shoot based on internal creative impulse.

Nothing contrived or forced....some days you shoot nothing. If so your mind is blocked and unable to "see'

All the Best....Laurance

I like crime and disasters. They're exciting.

And oddly enough, macro can be relaxing.

And I always feel weird doing landscapes. Like I get the feeling people are wondering "Why the hell is this dude in the middle of nowhere taking pictures of a tree?"

 

[sjones]

I voted "street," but that effectively encompasses anything I see outside that visually summons my attention.

 

[colker]

sportive nudes set against lanscapes filled w/ streets.
yes, that would be my favourite genre.

If youre ever in Germany, I will hook you up with my friend who shoots industrial nudes.

what would be an industrial nude? 😕

 

[wblanchard]

what would be an industrial nude? 😕

Naked girls inside abadoned factories. Like posing her near giant steel pistons or stuff like that. using available widow lighting. its pretty nice when shot right. soft beauty of a woman against the cold, hard industrial background.

 

[le vrai rdu]

street street street, mostly people at work

I am having a lot of fun with abstracted urban landscapes right now - not an everyday kind of category I must admit - but lots of room for experimentation in both color and black and white. As you can also see, reflections can play a big part too. But mostly its about interesting patterns of light and shadow.

Sorry, but for some reason the following only work as links not as embedded objects. (Although I am sure when I posted something yesterday it did embed the photo - ho hum, mysteries of the internet!)
