https://blog.spacehey.comForum Topic created by Saint~https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=871906https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=871906One of my favorite photography styles is street cityscape photography because it captures the energy and atmosphere of real urban life. You never know what interesting moment you might find while walking through a city. Recently I was looking for tips to improve my compositions and discovered some great advice on the Skylum photography blog. They publish a lot of tutorials about shooting technique...Mon, 30 Mar 2026 01:18:13 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=842228https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=842228I just take photos and mess around bc i like it,i dont proclaim myself as a photographer but i admire this job!Mon, 20 Oct 2025 12:22:34 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=838879https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=838879I wouldn't say everyone's a full blown photographer , but I think just about everyone living right now has experience with photography. It's an art form that most people have experience with (aside from most Amish. Not even all of them cause their kids get phones from the dollar store now lmao) But not everyone's taken classes and courses, most don't know much about the different settings and lens...Fri, 03 Oct 2025 16:27:55 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=764865https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=764865Honestly, I don’t think it’s a bad thing that “everyone’s a photographer” these days. Phone cameras are good enough now that anyone can capture moments that matter to them, and I think that’s a really positive thing. Of course, just because someone posts a few pics on Instagram doesn’t automatically make them an artist or a professional photographer — but not everyone has to be one.

Does that make them photographers? No. But does having a "real" camera make you a photographer? Also no. So what is it? IMO you are a photographer when you say you are a photographer. Because that means you want to create photos with some kind of artistic intention. By claiming the title of photographer you claim for yourself a certain amount of...Fri, 01 Nov 2024 18:37:20 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=680812https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=680812Tbh, I don't really care much for that "everyone is a photographer" statement, cuz from my perspective, I found that it's mostly jealous and or bitter photographers who got some issue in their life going on, or pple with gatekeepery/ "purist" mentality (like thinking you can't call yourself a Photographer if you only use mobile phones to shoot and not a Pro Camera) -  who say statements like that....Sat, 19 Oct 2024 07:09:49 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=659471https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=659471I used to think of what I do as photography. Then I assisted a photographer who spent like 2 months thinking about a single photo, scouting the location with her, and when it was time to take the shot she set up that big ass large format camera and the model had to sit still for a 20 minute exposure. Sure, she did a quick test with a DSLR beforehand, but I had the feeling that wasn't even necessar...Tue, 18 Jun 2024 21:50:53 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=564073https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=564073Everyone has a camera, but not everyone is a photographer (as that requires actual know-how, practice, training, etc)Tue, 21 Nov 2023 19:42:17 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=550048https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=550048To me being a photographer is having that passion and drive to do it. Even if it's only a hobby. So no I don't see everyone as a photographer but I feel anyone can be one as long as they have that passion/motivation for it and try. Similar to being an artist who's medium is some type of drawing or painting. It's an art form. :)Wed, 25 Oct 2023 20:37:08 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=523093https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=523093Not everyone is a photographer imoThu, 07 Sep 2023 13:19:47 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=493240https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=493240even if so, whats so bad in it? until it doesnt minimise the others hobbies a-ka 'its not a real hobby if anyone can take a picture'' idc really  for me personally photography is the same art as any other form of it. and the main purpose of art is expressing feelings, project ur emotions and to tell some sort of story. if u r really enjoying it and its something that u WANT to do,  im not a judge ...Sat, 15 Jul 2023 14:50:56 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=383463https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=383463and about phone photography well im poor and ppl around me are either poor or dont have a good camera in their phone so its like i dont even have a personal chriteria to work around i dont wanna assume things based on what i see online i need to see it first person irl lolThu, 16 Feb 2023 00:18:31 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=383460https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=383460i use photography as a form of art and experession. there r moments when i think there are more newbie real photographers than real good photographers. ppl rlly act like its a career that u need a phd for and unless youre stupidly good, just bc u know a few techniques that newbies dont know and can take a good shot of a person or a place, if youre just taking pics i dont think youre good. if there...Thu, 16 Feb 2023 00:15:04 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=281963https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=281963In my own opinion, Anyone can pick up a camera/phone camera and take a photo. But.... Personally, I think that It takes real ability to be able to take a photo with good composition with artistic merit.... That's not to say that only a select few can do this.... anyone can become a great photographer with practice.Thu, 14 Jul 2022 16:12:48 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=247538https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=247538Anyone can get a really good photo that can be something you want to hang up..... eventually....sometimes it's pure luck.
