What Kind of Photographer Are You? Ranking Most to Least Respected Genres.

What Kind of Photographer Are You? What genre do you practice? Do you feel respected by other photographers or the public in general?
A viewer asked me what kind of photography is most or least respected among photographers. I thought this was an interesting concept, so I decided to rank them.
This video is an attempt to express my perception on how photographers as a community view the status of other photogs based on what type of photography they practice.
These are not my personal feelings. I love documentary photography most of all and I have no stake in what other people do, as long as it isn't harming others. So you do you!
Please let me know if there's any category or genre I missed and where it should fit into the hierarchy. Or tell me where I'm wrong.
Here's a few different areas of photography I cover. I'm not ranking them here or putting time stamps on this video because I want everything to be a surprise as much as possible.
Wedding photography, photojournalism, sports, street photography, war photography, fine art photography, paparazzi, baby photos, and MUCH MUCH MORE.

[@Where_Have_All_My_Files_Gone]

You can beat that last one if you look like Bunny Yeager lol

[@Randomthingsguy2023]

How about abstract photography?

[@zakariyeawnur2558]

Regardless of where you find yourself in the list we can all agree old guys shooting young girls nudes are the worst.

[@PitNeex]

Art and especially documentary photography is much higher in this list. Fashion and editorial due to the internet is not that influential anymore and I feel because of heavy post processing not much respected. Purists hate editing 😝 some will say cropping is a mortal sin 🤣🤣🤣

Sounds like photographers have an anti-Capitalist and/or Marxist streak….. Seriously, though, what’s wrong with profiting off your own work?

[@ZACHDOBSONPHOTO]

Yeah, it's wild. I've been making a living fully off my photography for 20 years. I remember early on in my career a photog I knew was very judgy of me doing weddings (they were still a student at the time) and I remember thinking "at least I'm making a living at something I love." And I still am. They, on the other hand, are not.

It's the same as with any artist where people start to think you're selling yourself off. Sad but what can you do?
