Instagram Photographer

An "Instagram Photographer" is someone who believes that due to them having an Instagram account and taking tons of photos with their iPhone, they are now worthy of calling themselves photographers - even though most will have no real knowledge of text book photography.

It is also a growing hipster culture.

Me: Bro, change the ISO settings on your phone.
John Smith: Ummm, what the hell is that?
Me: Bro come on! The ISO settings! Your phone does have them somewhere right?
John Smith: Bro, I just press this button and it takes photos... That's all.
Me: You're such a damn Instagram Photographer!

Fashion Photographer

One who takes enormous amounts of pictures of other, beautiful people. They yell at the models, lie on the floor, or stand on a ladder to get the right pose. But, they are basically amazing.

Photographer

What just about every scene kid and hipster under the age of 25 calls themselves these days. Many own Canon Rebel xtis and rely heavily on cropping and Photoshop filters to give their otherwise mundane photos an "artsy" feel. It is also not uncommon to see them wielding Lomography cameras (usually a Holga, now that they're sold at Urban Outfitters) on any given day. Typically, these "photographers" cite Diane Arbus, Robert Mapplethorpe, or, in the case of those Vice Magazine devotees, Terry Richardson, Cobrasnake, or Richard Kern, as major influences, because they couldn't name any other photographers to save their lives.

The typical subjects of their photographs include, but are not limited to: pidgeon-toed girls in Converse that have been drawn on with ballpoint pens and/or Sharpies, flowers/weeds growing out of cracks in sidewalks, juxtapositions of objects that typically don't go together (in one such case, a Queen of Hearts playing card on a cracked sidewalk), a girl who looks like something out of an American Apparel ad smoking a cigarette, decaying buildings, and just about anything that looks "vintage" (ie, yellowing washing machines in a laundromat).

16-year-old Dylan took to calling herself a photographer after receiving her Canon Rebel for Christmas, and snapping a few photos of sidewalks in Decatur.
"These photos represent the irony of life," she said.
"And you represent the bane of modern photography," David replied.
