The author of the account is a professional photographer themself, so they definitely know what these memes are about, and have more than once faced similar situations in real life. The author positions this page as "the largest photography meme account on the internet", and indeed here you can find both jokes that only those who do a lot of photography can get, and those that anyone can easily understand.
Photographic equipment is developing rapidly, but there is still no "Shoot a masterpiece" button on the cameras. And there most likely never will be. Dmitry Kravtsov, a Ukrainian reportage and portrait photographer, says that you need skills, experience, good equipment and hours of processing at your desktop.
"For reportage shooting, first of all, you need experience, observation, the ability to catch a spectacular shot and predict how it will look in the lens," says Dmitry in an interview with Bored Panda. "On the one hand, this is a certain talent, and on the other hand, years of experience that nothing can replace."
"But when shooting portraits, it is important to be able to set the light correctly or, if you are shooting outdoors, to catch the perfect lighting. This is taught, it is written about in many books. And after several hours of photoshoots, there are long days of retouching. As a result, from several gigabytes of footage (up to a thousand photos) there may be only a few dozen left - but they will look perfect," tells Dmitry.
Next, tech question. A good photographer, even with a point-and-shoot, will take better pictures than a rookie with a DSLR camera. However, if two professionals shoot, then the tech will definitely become a game changer. Photojournalist Jeremy Schatz on the Digital Photography School website warns against a common mistake - not only the body is important, but especially the lens. And good lenses are damn expensive.
So it turns out that the income from commercial photography can barely cover the cost of your equipment. That is why Jeremy recommends gradually raising both the cost of your camera and the price tag of your services.
