Do all (twenty something?) photographers look alike?
Yesterday when I went to a local store to get some chemicals A photo club
must have been meeting or something and the majority of them were these younger guys dressed in the same style (urban artiste hip type style, with goatees and the same thick black glasses. It was weird but interesting. It seems a lot of work is being put to fit into some kind of artiste stereotype look. Anyone notice this in the field? Most of the shooters I meet overseas/US on assignment here do not look at all like that interesting looking crowd. |

I'm not sure you remember what you were like in your late teens/early
twenties. When you are learning your craft (whatever the craft you want to learn is), the image you project of yourself is very important because you aren't real confident about your skills (though you NEVER admit it - at least the guys don't). So the uniform you wear is really the declaration of your intent and goals.. As time goes by, some of those people will actually turn out to be pretty good, some will turn out to be hacks, and others will become knowledgeable consumers. It's all good.

Me, I'm supposed to be a 20-something photography/art student but I think I'm not doing it right as I have rimless glasses, a suede jacket, a bad collection of t-shirts and a load of crappy old, worn out and faded blue jeans. I recently grew a beard though - but it wraps around my face to make me look more scruffy Chris. |

I am not that far from my twenties but I never remembered trying to fit some kind of mold. |

The Arty lot is an interesting one, they always have this superiority complex and spew out lots of psuedo-intellectual garbage. |

Maybe that's how they get people to buy their stuff....If they were "straight", they'd starve to death........ |
