young photogs.....gen x and y'ers cameras
so Id made a post a week or so ago and mentioned my age (26) and given replies seems Im considered fairly young for a photog So is anyone else here a photog under 30 and have many models here worked with 20 yearold photogs? Any different from working with the older guys (40 and up...noticed i said OLDER not old lol b4 i get hate post) so far Ive only met 2 photogs in my age range (art students at vcu not included) also any difference in our style and approach than the older guys Just wondering j Dec 23 06 01:41 pm Link 26 is actually not young... most art students graduate by 23 and some are pretty successful by the time they are 26 (if they choose to practice their profession).

Dec 23 06 09:01 pm Link note the word "some" not "most" Dec 23 06 09:08 pm Link I turn 19 in a few days. I started shooting concerts when I was 17. Got into shooting models when I was 18. All of them always say 'Wow, you're so young' when we meet up. I find it amusing. Especially since I look older than I am so they're calling me young for looking 23-24 so the look on their face is great when I'm like 'No, I'm only 18.'

Dec 23 06 10:50 pm Link So what if you're 26? Telling people that you are advanced for your age sounds kind of self absorbed to me. If your work is good, age is irrelevant. If your work sucks, age is still irrelevant. Dec 23 06 10:56 pm Link darkfotoart wrote: Oh yeah? Well, I've got pictures of my mother's womb. What do you think of that, huh? "Taking pictures of cars when you were 5"? Big deal. I was on my third wife by then and had 20 kids. Dec 23 06 11:09 pm Link Serevende Photography wrote: darkfotoart wrote: Oh yeah?

Dec 24 06 03:48 am Link I'm 25 and have been shooting for a year. 26 doesn't seem like a young age to be a photographer??? Dec 24 06 03:53 am Link 27 here, but it never really comes up. Dec 24 06 03:54 am Link |
