Great write-up; thankfully most of the photographers I know are really down to earth and don't have that ego surrounding them, but I do know what you're talking about. I also try to avoid the camera as much as I can - I think my mom conditioned me to be like that because she has an obsession of taking pictures so it created in me a desire to avoid them at all costs lol
I hope you plan on posting the video at some point, it would be great to watch! I'm sure it will turn out great!
p.s sorry i've been slacking on my comments lately, haven't been on steemit much the past few days; the weekends always seem to do that to me.
Yeah, I do think it's case-to-case basis. Or, probably a matter of location. If the other photographers act like that in the close vicinity, then a novice would probably emulate it as they progress. I think we had the same upbringing. It was only when I was at the latter months of college did I learn to just let loose and not mind the camera pointed at me. There are still times when I'm deathly allergic of it though.
We'll see haha! If it does turn out great, I would definitely post the link here haha! The video guys would upload it on Facebook or YouTube regardless.
Don't sweat it, brother! You've already made my shortlist of evergreen supporters. Weekends have the same effect on me, so I totally understand.
