Common Personalities at Every Shoot

Common Personalities at Every Shoot

Summary

The article categorizes photographers into thirteen distinct personality types commonly observed at shoots, including weddings, events, and workshops. These archetypes are based on behavioral patterns rather than photographic style. Examples include the 'Machine Gunner' who shoots excessively, the 'Natural Light Purist' who avoids artificial lighting, and the 'Chimper' who constantly reviews images on the camera's LCD. The 'Wikipedia' type is characterized by reciting technical details, while the 'Preset Collector' hoards digital editing tools.
