How to tell at a glance who is a fake photographer?

We have to approach this question from two aspects. The first is how to define pseudo-photography enthusiasts? How to see through the second one at a glance?

How to define a pseudo-photography enthusiast?

Hypocrisy means pretense and hypocrisy.

Like this kind of thing, if you like it even a little bit, you can't hide it. Even if you hide it with your mouth, it will be revealed in your eyes. Even if you are a newbie, as long as you are willing to invest time and money in this hobby without asking for anything in return, even if you invest a little time and make a little progress, we can call you a Photography enthusiast. So I think the threshold for photography enthusiasts is actually very low.

Since there are people who like photography, there must be people who hate photography. Of course, there are also many people who neither like nor hate photography. Then we have another word, called insensibility. We definitely have things that we are indifferent to. For example, I am very indifferent to singing. In my heart, I have no desire to explore singing, and I am not sensitive at all to scales, notes, timbres, etc., while some people It’s different. Some people are born with a love for singing, and then naturally start to learn some singing knowledge and skills. For me, I don’t recognize myself as a singing enthusiast, but I recognize that I am a photography enthusiast. Enthusiast. Therefore, hobbies do not rely on others to certify you. The most important thing is whether you recognize it in your heart.

But hobbies have many additional attributes that will add points to your personality. Hobbies are generally positive things, which will make people think that you have a great interest in life and are a positive person. Through hobbies, you can also get a glimpse of this person's living standard and quality of life, such as a certain person. People's hobby is to collect famous watches. Well, actually I already know a lot of information.

Based on the above information, let me summarize what I want to express. 1. Do you feel about photography? Whether photography is your hobby or not? In fact, you know best in your heart. 2. People with positive hobbies will add points to your personality.

After understanding the above two points, a kind of person will appear. I have no feeling for photography, but I need everyone to know that I have this photography hobby. I want to become a photography enthusiast in the eyes of others. In this way I define him as a pseudo-photography enthusiast.

In fact, it is not easy to become such a person. You must meet two conditions: I must not only do things that I am not interested in, but also let others think that I like to do it. To use a popular saying nowadays, it means packaging yourself. Photography is a good way to package yourself, because photography can not only give you a label of hobby, but also based on the value of photographic equipment and the difference in shooting location, taking pictures with good photographic equipment will undoubtedly look cooler and more professional. The different shooting locations can also reflect your living standards, while pseudo-photography enthusiasts only use photography as a medium to convey more information they want you to know.

So a person who takes pictures of flowers seriously in the park with his mobile phone may be a photography enthusiast, while a person who travels in Northern Europe carrying tens of thousands of photographic equipment may be a pseudo-photography enthusiast. Who can say this clearly?

How to see through it at a glance?

If you are a stranger, it is basically impossible to see through it at a glance. If you don’t understand others, don’t define others at will.

If you are a familiar person, you can check whether the information he posts focuses more on the process of photography or the results of photography. For example, many people take the photos they post in their WeChat Moments. Taking photos while wearing a SLR, but rarely posting the works taken by oneself. This is the so-called staged shooting, which conveys the behavior of shooting rather than the results of shooting. This is likely to be a pseudo-photography enthusiast. True enthusiasts pay more attention to their own photography.

There is also a kind of person who steals other people’s pictures and publishes them saying they were taken by himself. This kind of person is a complete pseudo-photography enthusiast regardless of whether he likes photography or not. This hypocrisy is hypocrisy. This kind of behavior is really despised by others. It doesn't matter if you are not as good as others, but it is wrong to deceive others and yourself.
