People Are Bursting With Laughter At These 30 Photography Memes, Shared By This Dedicated Instagram Page

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.

"Working as a photographer is quite interesting and exciting when you are 20 and all people, meetings, emotions and alcohol are a wonder for you and carry an inexhaustible fountain of extravaganza, joy and inspiration," continues Dmitry Kravtsov.

"When you're 30+, work becomes just work and you start to approach it like a craft. You already try to set up your work so that you spend as little time as possible on it, but nevertheless get the best photos."

And still, even when you have learned, gained experience and spent many evenings at your desktop, processing photos in Adobe Lightroom, there will always be a person who will say that their smartphone takes way better pictures.

Yes, indeed, according to Flickr photo hosting statistics, the top 5 cameras by the number of downloads are different models of iPhone. But, as we said, the formula for a perfect photographer is a good camera + experience + processing. However, if you just want to take a selfie or a picture of your dog, your smartphone camera is absolutely enough.

By the way, most of the photos in these awesome memes about a ship that got stuck in the Suez Canal about a year ago were taken on smartphones, but that hasn't stopped the memes from going viral. You can look at them again, but not before you vote for the funniest photographers' memes, and even better - write your own witty comments.
