Is there any kind of photography that you don't "care for"?

Pictures that have people as the main subject (portraits, weddings, fashion, glamour
etc) just don´t do it for me. Street and documentary photography been an exception only if the person in the picture is presented with some sort of idea of the location. If you take a picture of a kid eating ice cream i like to see something of what´s happening around him.

Just an opinion.

Saludos,

As far as a photography I don't care to see... gothy looking people playing with knives/covered in blood/hanging out in cemeteries, over-used over-done cross processing/bleach bypasses/etc, lens babies, most club/concert photos, band photos, head shots.

Photography I don't care to do... street photography (I'm an introvert and just don't like to have to interact with people that way), event photography (speaker at a podium, etc), macros of man-made objects.

Bird photography. People are always trying to trick you into seeing their photos with titles like, "beautiful chick" posts.

Landscape photography.

Why...because I live in Fort Wayne, IN.

Photo's of guns, cars and planes. I can do without them.

Thanks Very Much Sam...

I don't really care for the "uber-cooked" HDRs. Some work becuase the subject is also over the top (eg: mvlopes Asylum/Hospital images) but on your average car in the driveway or the local Kwiki Mart, it's too much.

No weddings for me!

Wedding photos where they purposely cut people's heads off, or pics only of their mid-sections.

Stupid...

Anything with a mottled muslin. Get that crap outta here, this isn't 1980 anymore

I represent that remark...

I was checking out my local community college photography site to see what kind of projects they do there. For one of the classes they list their semester project as creating a calendar, 13 shots (one for the cover), selecting a particular theme. At the bottom it stated the following:

"NO BEACH, SURFING, HOMELESS PEOPLE, PIER, RAIL ROADS, OLD CARS, DRUGS OR ALCHOHOL THEMES WILL BE APPROVED."

I guess living in a beach city and being a basic photography instructor, you see a lot of this over the years. I can see how someone who looks at the same thing over and over could develop a dislike for it.

.......Even the crappiest of snapshots will often end up in someone's scrapbook or cedar chest - a treasured memory of some happy moment from days gone by.

True...but if they paid someone from POTN a modest fee to take that "crappiest of snapshots", it wouldn't need to be buried in a scrapbook or cedar chest! It could be on display, appropriately framed, on their wall, showing their friends how much they value the moments in their lives that take (took) their breath away!

btw, my wife is the definition of "a person who should not be allowed to even hold a camera", so I expect I'm the definition of "an annoying husband who wants to rid our home of the 32 albums (no joke!) of crappy snapshots and replace them with something more arty-farty"! So you can imagine the fights we get in when there's an event in the kids' lives to be photographed, and which shots thereafter will go on display/in a scrapbook!!!!

I don't like the type of photography that has been so heavily manipulated but still called photography instead of digital artwork.

Most of the images in see in "Rangefinder" are of that type and it bothers me when they win photographer of the year and the image is so clearly been photoshopped beyond original recognition.

Call it digital artwork at that point.
I don't mind photoshopping pictures, post processing is part of photographer from the original slow developed piece of film to today's 1Dsmk3 images. but when you have to spend hours in photoshop to make that image you want. its not not photography anymore.

I'd rather spend hours going to a location over and over to get that perfect moment in time captured then spend it in front of my computer.

I totally agree!

Boudoir...

Are you kiddin'? I think I could probably "force" myself to enjoy that niche, at least for a while! Although it might kinda end up like I always say - "If you work at Disneyland, that's the last place in the world you want to go on your days off!"

I tip my hat to those who have the patience and tact to do wedding photography. I doubt I'd have enough of either.
