Photographers Broke the Industry—Now They’re Playing Victim

The Loud Lens: Photography's Middle Finger · May 17, 2026 · 14m

Have we as photographers, allowed social media to slowly destroy photography as we push for more validation. I am talking bad behaviour and conduct in the pursuit of THAT shot. Are we then crying wolf and playing the victim when that risk doesnt pay off and we are called out on it?With the increase in photographers being named and shamed on platforms, are we guilty of ruining it for ourselves as more restricitons and constraints are put on us and this industry?#photography #photographer
