THREE TYPES OF PHOTOGRAPHERS YOU’LL FIND IN EVERY STUDIO
Welcome to the chaotic, artistic, and occasionally confusing world of photography. If you’ve spent any time in a studio, you’ve probably met these three distinct species of photographers. Some are visionaries, some are rebels, and some… well, let’s just say they have a “unique” approach.
- The Gear Addict (a.k.a. “Specs Over Shots”)
Favourite Phrase: “This camera has a full-frame sensor with a 62.5MP resolution and a 15-stop dynamic range.” 😂 Tool of Choice: Whatever the most expensive camera on the market is. Typical Behaviour:
- Spends more time discussing gear than actually taking photos.
- Has five lenses for every possible scenario but still complains about needing one more.
- Can be found crying softly after someone touches their camera with unwashed hands.
Their shots? Perfectly sharp, perfectly exposed—yet somehow, missing a soul.
- The “Natural Talent” (a.k.a. “I Just Click and It Works”)
Favourite Phrase: “I don’t need settings; I just feel the shot.” 😎 Tool of Choice: A trusty vintage film camera or the cheapest DSLR possible. Typical Behaviour:
- Shoots on auto mode yet somehow still wins awards.
- Believes manual settings are for people who overthink.
- Always gets the best lighting by instinct, like a photographic Jedi.
Their shots? Absolutely stunning, but they have no idea how they did it.
- The Chaotic Genius (a.k.a. “Let’s Get Weird”)
Favourite Phrase: “What if we hang you upside down over a candlelit puddle?” Tool of Choice: Anything—from a professional camera to a broken iPhone 6. Typical Behaviour:
- Climbs on furniture or lays flat on the floor for “the perfect angle.”
- Starts a 30-minute monologue about why a blurry shot represents “emotional depth.”
- Somehow makes trash look like fine art in their final edits.
Their shots? Genius, breathtaking, and totally unexplainable. Are you one of these? Or have you encountered them? Either way—next time you book a studio, don’t be surprised when one of these creatures appears!
