Why do so many people think they can make a career out of photography?
It's so annoying because there are so many no-talent rich kids who think they can buy a camera and become a photographer. It's almost as bad as law degrees now.
What do these kids not understand? Anyone can pick up a camera and take a picture. Furthermore, anyone can learn the tricks to make their pictures look better. FURTHERMORE, anyone can use a camera. The industry has to be cutthroat. Anyone can hire their friend's kid to take pictures at their wedding or for senior pictures. It's such a joke. How can any of these people make money to live on?
Why do their parents encourage them to waste money on "careers" like this?
I'm not going to say this applies to all aspiring photographers, but much of it has to do with the misconception that it all depends on the photographer's natural born eye for quality pictures. Unlike painting, sculpting, or many other arts, the quality of a photograph is harder to distinguish to the untrained eye. Everybody loves their own creation, but without just as much training and experience as any other art, you will not be competitive. A professional can see clearly the different between an amateur's photograph and someone who is skilled.
