Last month, I wrote a story titled "Top 13 Ways to Piss Off a Photo Editor." It got a huge reaction, and a number of people suggested that I turn this around, and give photographers some equal play.
So I contacted some photographers and asked for their advice. I wanted to know what really pissed them off. I learned that many different kinds of things are capable of pissing off a photographer.
My trusted panel of photographers are:
John Harrington, freelance Washington DC photographer
David Hume Kennerly, Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist
Robert Caplin, freelance photographer in New York City
Andy Biggs, wildlife and outdoor photographer
Daniel Milnor, freelance editorial and commercial photographer
Lynn Donaldson, freelance photographer based in Livingston, Montana
Yunghi Kim, freelance photojournalist
After absorbing their responses, I compiled a list of ten things that will piss off nearly any photographer.
However, their responses were so different from each other, and filled with lots of little interesting tidbits, that I decided to include them in their entirety at the bottom of the post. My intention with this blog post is not to open up a bitch-and-moan session about photo editors or photographers. Instead, I am hoping that maybe this can make help make things just a little bit better by making it obvious that photographers and photo editors are partners, and they need each other in order to survive.
To be fair, tomorrow I will post "Top 10 Ways To Make A Photographer Fall In Love With You."
