What is an old photographer?

"Old photographers" mostly refer to middle-aged and old photographers who have not studied photography for a long time, but have a large number of Quan Huafu and fixed focus, and like to get together to take photos of beautiful women, fake folk customs and the same scenery.

In Shanghainese, the "old mage" refers to an old expert with high level and skill, but now the "old mage" in the photography circle has obvious discrimination and degradation.

Some movie friends say that wizards become wizards because they firmly believe in the existence of magic and insist on using it in daily life. There are several kinds of magic that are widely known: the smell of instruments, the smell of film, apple trimming and air cutting.

Characteristics of old photographers

The first is that they are generally older, generally retired people, and of course there are some young people now.

The second is that they often use some very top SLR bodies, which are bulky and noisy. They are very proud of their equipment. They may really believe that these good equipment can make his works of art more valuable. They also like to wear a camera vest and carry a typical camera bag, which makes it easier for people to find out that they are photographers.

Because what they expect is the kind of worship that others cast after being discovered. The old wizards themselves have some contradictions, their own aesthetic level is actually very low, and their creative themes and techniques are very single. For example, they like to take pictures of beautiful women and lotus flowers, and they have taken countless scenic photos.
