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.

What do you enjoy shooting the most?

I like landscapes, Urban and Rural. I am growing more and more interested in street photography, because I have used it as my exposure therapy for social anxiety.

Editorial portraiture

[–] zim1109@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Mostly architecture, but I also like finding Wes Andersonish settings locally.

[–] Dice7@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Sports fan photography.

Concert photography

[–] golfzerodelta@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wildlife, airplanes, and underwater

[–] YogurtEcstatic@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Pets, wildlife, landscape, drone, night, underwater…pretty much anything in outdoors and natural.

Vending machines. Eiji Ohashi is my favourite photographer for that reason

I'm a concert photographer. Even when I'm at my lowest mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, I am complete when it occurs to me that, for what it's worth (which isn't a whole lot, to be completely honest), I have the life of music that I wanted so deeply as a little school band geek.

Things get rough for me. But at least my favourite bands think I'm cool and occasionally help me out. That's got to count somewhere.

hip hop photography for sure from each decade. so many good references, fashion, beautiful black people, and scenery. it speaks for itself tbh

[–] marshmallowserial@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I really enjoy architecture stuff, sort of hidden detail stuff, abstract stuff but when I go through my photos it's always the candid groups of friends and family that I spend the most time thinking about. I photograph for myself and the memories. I suppose as such I also enjoy other people's documentary type photos that capture reaction and emotion

Abandoned mines

A good majority of my photos have been taken from inside holes leading into the earth.

[–] janus270@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wildlife photography and lightning photography. Of all of the storms I've seen and shot, no two cloud formations are the same, no two bolts are the same. You have that instant to take that shot or you'll never capture it again. I've thought about picking up a lightning detector, but I feel that would take a lot of the fun out of getting that perfect capture.

[–] dpsamways@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

B/w especially Salgado's work

[–] austinD93@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It’s Astro for me. Mostly the Milky Way core, but I do love Orion as well

Liminal spaces

[–] Munro_McLaren@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Sports for me.

[–] logiczigzag@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I love to shoot flowers, night photography, and sky

Conceptual pictorial photography that is well outside the photography status quo. The goal being, to be displayed in art galleries.

Street/underground street, urban, liminal spaces & architecture

[–] LatinoComedian@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

B&W portrait photography, especially those of older people where you can see every wrinkle and detail.

What is that called?

[–] MouldyBobs@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Making photograms like Man Ray.

[–] CompleteShow7410@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Sports over portraits but do both.

Sports - I don't have to pose the subject just capture the action on the sideline and relax.

Portrait - gotta pose and flatter the subject especially large families. Plenty of work.

[–] iamalext@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Astrophotography, architecture and landscapes (generally very late at night or very early in the morning for all of them!)

[–] manjamanga@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Portraits, either studio or environmental. There's something special about photographing people that I don't really get from other types of photography.

I also enjoy photographing animals a lot, both pets and wildlife.

Living things, I guess.

[–] Canonconstructor@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Architectural (residential and commercial) because it pays a lot and is super consistent and I never have to seek out getting new clients

[–] greatinternetpanda@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

B&W. Particularly decay in urban and rural America. It feels like we are in some kind of shift, and I enjoy capturing that.

[–] createsean@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Street photography. Must include people to be true street photography otherwise it's urban landscape

[–] Erikcreatesphotos@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’ve recently been enjoying the experience of using my 50mm macro to take photos of little critters and plants.

[–] StudioDonovan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
  1. Emotionally resonate coming of age moments that feel nostalgic, moody, and sometimes ethereal.

  2. Feral uninhibited moments of freedom and ecstatic play- often employing juxtaposition of dichotomies.

  3. Moments and scenes that couldn’t be recreated in 1+ years because the environment/scene is guaranteed to change.

Aerial/drone photography

[–] wrong0ne@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Time lapse, night rock climbing with illumination (not a practitioner, just a fan): https://www.reddit.com/r/climbing/s/j7sn80cXS1

[–] HuckleberryReal9257@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Naked women. Chance never seems to come up that often as I’m a street photographer

[–] psych0san@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Anything honestly. I know it may seem like I don't know what I like but I just like shooting anything by adding some motion blur to it. But lately, portraits and street photography a lot. Every opportunity to take photos is a good time.

[–] Golivth5k@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I really like stairways

[–] cexandsandy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Tiny mushroom photographs

[–] selfmadedave@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

rainy nights in big cities

[–] JevaYC@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Aerial 360s.

[–] hiraeth555@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Documentary

[–] Werifesteria_23@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Long exposure shots of light trails at night.

[–] omg-whats-this@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wife portraits, I guess

[–] rallysman@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Telephoto landscape, wildlife, low light, and high speed, probably in that order.

[–] Darth-Anaking@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] Stabok_Bose@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I would say minimal photography (be it minimal street photography or minimal landscape photography) also I love texture photography.
