Photographer

A photographer is a person who takes photographs using a camera. A professional photographer uses photography to make a living, while amateur photographers take photographs for pleasure and to record an event, place or person.

Not all photographers are scene or emo kids and not all rely heavily on photoshop or any other photo editing software (such as GIMP, Lightroom, photobucket, etc) to make their photos look unique.

Some photographers actually are photographers, not just "What just about every scene kid and hipster under the age of 25 calls themselves these days.". Some actually shoot photographs for a purpose rather than because it is the "cool" thing to do at the moment. Some great photographers are Ansel Adams, Diane Arbus, Les Forrester, Lara Jade, Andrew Gransden, Joe Rosenthal, Jill Greenberg, and Annie Leibovitz.

A photographer may stick to one subject area, such as portraiture or nature strictly, but quite a few usually spread their subject areas among many different kinds of photography, such as nature, portraiture, still life, photojournalism, urban & rural, and architecture, just to name a few.

Photography

Photography is actually one of the fastest growing service industries. it is used to capture moments that are actually meaningful. Every photographer isn't just a emo kid that sucks, and they don't just take pictures of converses, that is very overrated. Real photographers know how to take an ordinary object and put meaning into it, meaning that represents a cause. They give photos a voice.
I am a photographer, i major in photography, and am one of the least emo kids you'll ever know, i'm a sophmore and being recruited by colleges, so obviously, i don't suck, and i have never taken a picture of converse in my life.

Photographic Memory

The ability to to recall images or texts with unfailing accuracy. Lots of people think its fake, but I can confirm it is real I have it.
It is not fair, this kid doesn't study for tests because he has a photographic memory; he can memorize power points and textbook pages just by looking at them once.

wild-life photographer

A party photographer. This artist documents people, usually young privileged white kids, and their wild lifestyles. Classic photographers who fit this category are Larry Clark, director of KIDS. A contemporary artist would be the Cobrasnake.
The preferred format for this type of photography is digital, while polaroid appeals to a more specific/pretentious genre of wild lifers. Also, the portfolio's of wild-life photographers are usually their facebook pages.
