People Are Bursting With Laughter At These 30 Photography Memes, Shared By This Dedicated Instagram Page
Photography is perhaps the most thankless art we know. Firstly, some do not consider it art at all, and secondly, for example, singers are not told that the quality of their songs depends solely on the microphone.
However, to this day, many people believe that artistic photography is akin to that very famous Kodak advertising slogan: "You press the button, we do the rest." True, almost 150 years have passed since that advertisement, and now everything is completely different. Even though people don't believe it is.
That is why photographers, like representatives of many other professions, have developed their own humor, their own jokes and, of course, memes. For example, there is a popular Instagram account called photographerhumor which collects funny and sometimes sad memes about the difficult fate of photographers.
Today it has more than 155K subscribers, not all of which are actually photographers. There are memes that are not so easy to understand if you have never picked up a camera, but most of them are just life. And, of course, very funny. Bored Panda has compiled a curated list of the best memes in our opinion especially for you, so watch, laugh, and remember - never ask the photographer: "Hey, when will you send the pics?"

It's like being the hair dresser or costumer . . . I can make everyone else look great but no one can help me look better.

Most people would rather look at their own crappy selfies than a prize-winning photo that doesn't include their faces.

If you find yourself constantly trying to prove your worth to someone, you have already forgotten your value

My mom will pause whatever show she’s watching on the TV to take a picture OF WHAT IS ON THE TV in order to show it to me XD “Mom, is this… a photo of a paused commercial for a medication for plaque psoriasis?”

“NO, I didn’t ACCIDENTALLY take a photo of the cat’s butt hole. It’s called CREATIVITY and EXPRESSION, okay?!”

I will hate you for the rest of my life, Cyclops. It’s not your fault, per se, you’re just such a Mary Sue…. XD

I don't like electronic viewfinders. For me, DSLRs will always have the advantage.

I'd LIKE to shoot in RAW, but I can't afford to wait my whole life to copy the photos off my memory card.

As a photographer, it pisses me off when snooty photogs p**s on camera phone pix. Photos with a real SLR and quality glass ARE better, sure. But the basics of good photography apply to any photo: lighting, exposure, composition, framing, color, golden mean…etc. You can take great (like 70% as good) pix on a phone. Some of my favorite photos I’ve taken with my phone, even if it doesn’t have that creamy, tiny f-stop bokeh.

I mean, like other art, if you are good in a certain way you can paint nice stuff with kids watercolor sets or play some pretty good music on a throw away guitar. That doesn't mean that someone who really prefers quality equipment and/or material is a better or worse artist, it's just part of the style and changes what choices are available.

Heh. I have done the PO's for just enough laser optics to think all y'all are funny complaining about the price of camera optics. Literally seen a piece of glass (coated, sure, but still just the glass, not the mount or anything) for the price of a decent midrange camera AND good lense.
