Let's be honest: photographers can be pretty irritating people. We've all met a photographer who really gets under our skin. This funny video shows you the most common types of these photographers in a light-hearted way.

This video comes from The School of Photography and will have you laughing under the table at some of the most common, irritating types of photographers we have probably all come across at some point, or even been ourselves...

The purists are often the most maddening, at least when they're the condescending variety. Watch the video yourself to see which type you find most irritating.

What I find most irritating are photographers who think you should make a photo their way. You mainly find these photographers at photo clubs and internet forums.
I show a photo...
and get a response:
I should have used F4
a zou have had to use the golden ratio
I should have turned the main light more to the left
I should have used a hair light
I should retouch more
I should retouch less
etc etc
Darn it guys, I made that photo the way I wanted it!

@martinphili Yes, especially that one. Once on a forum there was a new member who introduced himself and hoped to learn a lot. He posted a photo of his little daughter. The first responses were: "First learn how to hold a camera" and "are we all going to post photos of our children here now?" So he was gone again right away.

Lol, yeah that's right, you come across them everywhere.
But they forgot one type....the type that feels the need to tell you how good they themselves are.
Often when you see their photography afterwards, it's very often a bit disappointing and a little modesty would do them good.

You almost always get "bullshit" responses if you don't ask specifically about something. However, if you don't want bullshit, I'm afraid the Internet isn't the right place to present your 'work'. Otherwise you'll definitely get 'beautiful, nice, keep it up, wow' as responses. And that isn't much use either.
