People versus nature (in photos)
My first cousin on my mom's side is a professional photographer. BUT, she takes photos of people: graduations, weddings, birthdays, proms...Well, you get the picture. I, on the other hand (and I'm NOT a professional) hate to have people in my photos! Are you like that, too? Frankly, I think people spoil my pics! I rarely have people in them and avoid them if I can. How about you? Do you like to include people in your photos? Horses and animals? Yes...people...NO!

Unless I'm specifically going to photograph my kids or grandkids - nope - no people. There was one time though I was walking along the pier in San Diego Shelter Island - There were two children I specifically photographed because I loved what they were doing. One was a sweet girl about 10 with Down's Syndrome - a fish was on the pier and it was still alive but wiggling around. She stooped down to watch it (very tenderly and sadly) .. I couldn't resist - no one saw me take the pic. I still have that photo from years ago.
ReplyDeleteI definitely am a landscape photographer and don't usually want people in the photo unless I know them, they are far away, or it helps with perspective. Problem is, I forget to take photos of people.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you! I hate taking posed people pictures. Street candid photos of people I don't know are okay, but other than that, no!
ReplyDeleteI do sometimes have my wife in shots, but just to show scale.
