Photography

A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

A lot of toxic egos on photo forums? (alien.top)

Has anyone else noticed that most photography forums outside of Reddit have some very opinionated, bitter arsch-holes as members? I cannot find a single forum outside of Reddit that offers positive / constructive criticism, just people who are toxic beyond belief...

in the last 20 years or so

could this possibly coincide with the rise of the internet & internet forums?

It may have some influence, but I’ve run into plenty of these people in person. When I said I don’t talk to photographers in general anymore, I meant IRL as well.
