Not him but
"Wait wait, do that again so I can get a picture of it! No no you were over here, don't face this way do what you were doing before just pretend I'm not here. What's wrong, you were having fun a minute ago stop pouting!"
Camera people can be really obnoxious like this, particularly to young children who haven't yet learned the value in humoring their parents. I always hated it when my mother got out the camera. If she had stood back and taken pictures without trying to arrange everything for the 'perfect' pictures it wouldn't have been such an issue. But that's not how it ever went.
- floren 4y agoNow imagine being a child today, when it doesn't cost anything to take a picture and you have your camera on you at all times. Five year olds now have practiced photo poses and a ready-to-go fake smile, because every goddamn day is a photoshoot.
- tjr 4y agoAs a hobbyist photographer (well, I do it less, now that everyone is taking pictures all the time), I do not at all like interrupting real life to pose a picture. I don't want that picture. I want a picture of actual real life. If the person I am taking a picture of changes what they're doing because I took a picture, then I have messed up.
- hef19898 4y agoThis so much! Sure, a photographer has a presence and influences shots of people. But tgat influence can be minimized. It is hard so, maybe a reason why I largely prefer landscapes and architecture!
- andrepd 4y agoOkay that makes perfect sense. Indeed interrupting whatever it is you wanted to film so you could film it... kinda defeats the purpose.
