A few days ago, I had the opportunity to see a photo of my boyfriend which made his good friend. She makes photos as a hobby and since she could not find male model, she asked my boyfriend. To be fair, I did not know that my tall and handsome man is small, pregnant guy.
When did he get pregnant? Who is the mother of his child?
Social networks gave us a chance to express to the world the best of us, our interests, our knowledge, our creativity and our hobby. Everyone can be famous on few seconds, everyone can be gifted.
Is that actually true? Can we all be talented even we are not?
Are we all talented to be models, authors, painters or photographers???
A few years ago everyone believed that they can be models- women spent hours and hours in front of their cameras in their best clothes, with full makeup. This trend went so far that they started to make photos in the toilets, their or public.
On one hand, I would understand that they took photos how they take a shower, brush their hair or clean their teeth, healthy and clean body is very important so they want to educate us, but no, they were all the same in their best clothes and make-up. Today we experience how their toilets look like and I must acknowledge that I saw few nice types of tiles.
Does anybody remember now how these" toilet top models look alike"?
If some man reads this at the moment I will remember him that men were the same just with less makeup.
Nowadays, trends change, models are "passe", everyone wants to become a photographer. The truth is that everyone can take a photo, but real photographers can be like it was before hundred and more years ago, only a few. With the advent of a digital era, everyone can buy a camera and edit program which helps to produce much better photo than previously with a film based camera. When they take their photos in some editing program that internet offer they suddenly think they are now "professional photographers " and they took "work of art".
Does everybody forget what makes one person with a camera good photographer?Talent, skill, knowledge, experience builds a photographer, not just a camera.
Good photographer must have an idea, must catch a moment and what is the most important must know how to make a photo. It is not enough to buy good, expensive camera with already effects inside and to make random clicks everywhere you go. You must catch a moment, unusual, different, you must catch something that your friends, your network friends cannot and you must work in the darkroom to see the first product of your work.
People can shoot now thousand photos in Auto mode with digital camera and they do not need to pay for that, if they had to pay for all those shots, they would be much more careful to call themselves"photographers".
Would be really good that somebody gives darkroom to so-called photographers and to let them see how first-hand looks like. When most of them see how bad they are, they will know that a photographer is a skilled profession. Buying and having film developed costs a money and working in lab costs a time.
I see people take photos every day, random everything they see around selves and posting with claims of being photographer.
Does a new generation know the art of real photography when they see it or they think everything is worth?
I think even now many people can make a difference between good photography and just average.
It is obviously that many people take photography to be famous and get feedback almost instantly. BUT ...
Flowers are flowers, cats are cats, we like them in real life, we like them on social networks, but that also does not mean that we are good, that we are already photographers.
Does someone ask us to put that photo in his house or was anybody willing to compensate for them?
We can be liked all day long, every time when we put our photos, but it does not change the fact that everyone is NOT A PHOTOGRAPHER! It takes talent, skill, knowledge and having "the eye to be a good photographer", not a fancy camera.
Not so long ago I read an article that a new generation of photography came.
Technology improved, Camera had improved over the years and that is all. It still does not mean who takes a photo is that "new generation". Photographer must still have the talent, skill, eye, everything they have mastered over the year.

Somebody learned for photography, went to school, spent days and months in the darkroom trying to find one great photo, somebody earns money for that.
We can attempt, put our photos, explain what we have in mind, our friends will write or say they are great, the others will preserve their judgement for themselves, but we are not photographers we are doing that exclusively as a hobby and a hobby don't make somebody professional.
We can only guess what is the next trend.
"Good photographers" who make real good photography will still like before years shine above all the people running around with their digital camera with no clue how to use it properly.
