What I hate about photographers
I am going to keep this super short and get straight to the point. This obviously can't apply to all photographers, but it surely does apply to a vast majority of the ones that I have had interaction with.

Fake comments, fake likes, fake follows all in a attempt to lour you in to their page. If you have any social media account you would have noticed many talented and beginner photographer liking random photos, sometimes photos of a cup of coffee or something silly like this. Following and then un-following a day later. There is no need to go into any further detail, we all know of at least a dozen photographers like this.

This works hand in hand with the above. Most photographers don't appreciate photography, they instead just care about their photography. Surely this is where most people reading this, scroll to the bottom to write some nasty shit in the comments, but it's true. New age photographers ( I don't know how people were before I was born ) just care about getting their work out there, about becoming a professional. You can notice this on most forums and chats, even in real life when speaking with people. I have been printing for a hotel that I have been working at, and often I see photographers looking at the photos, coming over and speaking about them, only to then to change conversation to themselves and their photography. I am to a point guilty of this as well. Sometimes when I see another photographer I want to share my work with them, but there is a line and I believe many cross it.

This has to be the point that I find the most annoying.
