Ok I found this somewhere and I thought I should share it with you. Do you agree? Read below
1. They see the beauty in everything
Photographers are always looking for new
inspiration, at least the good ones are. Their eyes are constantly searching
for that angle, the composition or lighting that will help them snap their next
masterpiece. This indubitably transfers into their everyday lives, so even when
they do not have their photos in mind, they will be more than inclined to point
out the beauty of a particular scene they come across and change their
partner’s perspective on things. A lot of people assume that photographers are
focused on physical beauty but the really good ones can actually find beauty in
anything and everyone! They find beauty in the harshest places
and make them look stunning! This is a tremendous talent to have – to change
how a person looks at the world.
2. They are creative people
Creativity
radiates differently from one artist to another, as well as from one art form
to another, but it always leaves a distinct mark on a personality the artist
develops. There is simply a distinct approach to life that can attributed to
creative souls universally and this is what sets them apart as unique.
Photography is a good way to a distinct lifestyle, gives you a peculiar
mind-set and to be honest, I don’t think that the lives of two photographers
anywhere in the world are generally alike. With a few simple tips you can make your photos look great, but the
originality and artistic values of the photos are goals that you really
need to be a talented and dedicated professional to reach. It is just the
general approach of documenting particular moments in time in an as beautiful
way as possible, which gives them a unique vibe. Sure, we are all a bit into
photography these days but not many are truly artists. The creativity trait
often gives you advanced problem solving capabilities which are more than
valuable in this art form and in life, in general.
3. They are usually nomads
This is
at least true for the time that they are younger and just starting out. As a
photographer, you like diversity in your living environment as well as your
business environment. There are really a few other vocations that would allow
you to travel so much as this one. Whether you are a band photographer, sports
photographer, fashion photographer, you need to travel. It is simply in your
job description. All people who travel a lot and come in contact with different
cultures give off that cosmopolitan look and their stories about different
cultures are quite enticing. This travel charisma is a big factor in their
attractive image. They are capable of packing in a moment’s notice, but they do
this by knowing how to prepare in advance.
Although their lifestyle may seem wild and fast, they are very organized
people. After all, the equipment costs quite a lot, so you can’t be too careful
when packing so you don’t forget something that is valuable as well as a
necessity to your work. Also, a lot of photographers speak more than one
language and this is something that is universally attractive.
4. They are independent and free
The
majority of photographers are freelancers, who very much have control over what
kind of work they do and who they collaborate with. This kind of freedom
usually stems from a healthy dose of confidence and
also gives people an environment to solidify their trust in themselves. When
you are flying solo, you need to be able to manage all the work you do yourself
and every mistake you make actually affects your own bottom line. This breeds
capable and responsible people who are capable of holding their own in a
relationship, which is a much desired trait in a partner. A lot of them possess
a certain dose of streetwise which they picked up from their travels. After
all, photographers are often targets of street attacks in any country in the
world, due to the relative compactness of their equipment and its high value.
This means that you need to be on your toes and be wary of dangerous
situations. This kind of mindset gives photographers the ability to project a
sense of security to other people. Being able to think on your feet is quite
appealing to both men and women as a very attractive trait to, well, both men
and women.
5. They are always willing to meet new people
There
have been more than a few meltdowns between partners caused by one sides
disinterest in socialization and insistence on a more secluded lifestyle. This
wouldn’t be the truth with people in this profession. Their line of work
includes meeting and working with a lot of different people and they are very
much adapted to diverse social environments and can always find a common
topic for conversation with people of different backgrounds. Not everyone
has the patience for meeting new people and not being able to adapt to
somebodies circle of friends can sometimes be a deal breaker for some
relationships. The fact that they fit in quite nicely and are generally liked
by all gives them an edge. Moreover, these days, everyone wants to have good
photos and people are generally a bit more pleasant towards those who can snap
a great one on a whim. That was a joke – to some extent.
As you can see, there are
tons of reasons why you might want to consider a professional career in
photography. Still, a lot of people tend to get into it but underestimate the
work and effort that you need to include in order really make it. It doesn’t
just boil down to snapping a DSLR at things and people. There is a whole
science and then there is the whole question of creativity and personal style.
It takes years to practice and work to develop this craft to a professional
level. The lifestyle is great but requires a lot of dedication and more than a
few sacrifices.
Oya let all photographers reading this article start blushing...lol
