What's the easiest way to become an award-winning photographer?

Steal the work of previous award-winning photographers, obviously.

I liked the "I was in my early to mid 20s! I was too young to know better!" rationalization, as well as "I hadn't had any formal training in photojournalism, so I didn't realize it was a mistake" part...as if it takes a college degree and/or several years of apprenticing to discover the ~deep secret~ that you don't wholesale clone in parts of another person's photograph and then pass it off as a.) factual and b.) your own work.

I had a classmate steal one of my photos in college. Literally. This was back in the age of proper darkrooms, so we were constantly generating a lot of testprints and almost-final prints. Those that we didn't want were tossed into a large discard bin. This girl must have fished through there to grab one of my discards (during open lab time, not class. Man, I miss access to a 24-hour darkroom). I forget what the assignment was, but we had to produce a tight series of something. I did the major bridges between Manhattan and Long Island. She did some weird jumble with a loose story to hold them together, with my Williamsburg Bridge shot in the middle of it.

She NEVER owned up. Denied everything all the way through the process that eventually got her kicked out of Pratt. Which is fantastically stupid because I had the negatives.

Anyway, liars gonna lie.

I have no guarantee the film wasn't kept on the backseat of a car. Worth the gamble though, it's 1€/roll.

The funniest part of that (too me) is that Polaroid made 135 format film, regular black-and-white stuff not self-developing, and I can believe somebody finding an old Polaroid camera and a pile of 135 Polaroid film and tossing them on Craigslist / local equivalent. But Ilford isn't even close.

Go for it, Ilford makes good film and hey, free paperweight!

Weird 'art' processing effects? Check!
Papyrus watermark? Check!

The thing that made it stand out from every other GWAC taking pictures of his girlfriend was the weird posing on his roof. Not on a flat roof or a terrace, but the model is somehow clinging on for dear life to a tile ridge while trying to look as sexy as her survival instinct and his enthusiastic editing will allow.

I like that he has three or four overprocessed versions of almost every picture, just so you can pick the flavor that's right for you. That's called value for money!

Five bucks says :nws:this one:nws: is a "souvenir shot".

I was unsure if this would fit best in the street thread or this one, but since all threads here are bad, i chose the one i was already in

A travel photographer wrote this, it very briefly featured on Petapixel, although they pulled it because every single comment was hating on them and the article

"How to deal with people asking for money when doing Travel Photography"
http://www.picsofasia.com/2017/06/12/people-asking-money-travel-photography/

i'll quote the worst parts here


Tonedeaf white guy posted:


As you may know, developing countries are very money orientated cultures. No one to blame here, but it is an expected thing for people who come from difficult situations to try and make more money today. As I live in Vietnam I will use the Vietnamese example: Vietnam is also a very business-oriented, and historically a trading culture. As tourism has grown, so have the business opportunities. This is good for the economy, and money has become a larger priority. For example, if you could understand Vietnamese while walking through a market, you would hear that most people are conversing about money, all the time.

Ah yes, the dreadful thing that is discussing money. at a market.


Tonedeaf white guy posted:


I may also offer money to locals if it’s in exchange their services. For example, asking a local person to take you on their boat for some photos on the lake deserves financial compensation. Another example, in Hoi An there are women who carry around baskets of fruit with the purpose of posing for tourist’s photos. In a sense, they are full-time professional models. In this case, it is okay to pay them to take their photos as you are supporting their job. But be aware of how much you give!

Tonedeaf white guy posted:

be aware that many middle-aged men who ask for money are planning to buy alcohol – learn how to read people before you give.

This is apparently a key take away. pay people you feel deserve it, but for the love of all that is good, don't pay them TOO MUCH!!! Oh and also don't pay people who might use that money to entertain themselves. this is also bad because Reasons.
