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. CNN News 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?”

This happens to me all the time! I would have a friend take a photo of me and I think “It’s gonna look awesome!”. Then I see it and I look like I’m being held at gunpoint lmao
Every. Damn. Time
Ultimate heartbreak 🙂 But I’ve learnt to love my works myself
😂😂
Omg I get so angry about stuff like this
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.
You should have asked who would be getting nude
Beware the attack of the phone photographing dogecoin buying shiba inu noobs
If you find yourself constantly trying to prove your worth to someone, you have already forgotten your value
lol me too
Very important!!
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 CNN News. “On the one hand, this is a certain talent, and on the other hand, years of experience that nothing can replace.”
So true it hurts :’)
Titanic: me
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?”
Periodtt
Me😂😂😂
“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.
🙂
well what lovely flower lol
Across the hall, Sigma!
Me on mondays
I just dont know xd
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.
Yes
🙂😑
“NO, I didn’t ACCIDENTALLY take a photo of the cat’s butt hole. It’s called CREATIVITY and EXPRESSION, okay?!”
are you “into photography” or a photographer? Not the same…
For many, that is true.
“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.”
Better still a festival picture
Not composition, it’s called forced perspective.
He did it 98682 times
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.
pick me?
not my fault!
Note: this post originally had 50 images. It’s been shortened to the top 30 images based on user votes.
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.
