Any photographers over age 40 in here?
I'm 42 .. OK, my Principal Photography up until maybe Last Year was (and maybe still is) Military Aviation, I've always been snapping away at People doing Portraits, Business Shoots & Family Events.. Over Time, nope, I still find the Whole Package as interesting as ever. Feb 18 20 04:05 am Link Over 40? Yep, that was 35 years ago. Still appreciate beauty in all its’ forms, especially female, faces ncluded. My recent change in outlook includes reverting to b/w film which I process at home and scan to digital realm.. and from reading many if the responses on this thread, realize I’m not the oldest here. Feb 21 20 04:42 pm Link I’m over forty by 7 years. I’d prefer to shoot an older subject, they show up with ideas and confidence lol. Age comes with experiences and confidence which can make for a great shoot. A lot of 40+ beauties out there! Age is just a number and it’s all about the mind. Sadly I haven’t had the luxury to shoot someone of “this” age group but I can imagine it would be great. Just wanted to add my opinion. Feb 25 20 04:53 pm Link 54 lol and still kicking. Mar 01 20 05:02 pm Link I turn 45 at the end of next month.

I started shooting grandkids, and all of their friends about 10 years ago, what a difference that made for me..... Mar 02 20 07:31 am Link I'm 40 with nearly 11 years of experience. I'm working on learning more about studio imaging rather than environmental imaging, and have long since left my wedding photography days behind. Mar 28 20 10:17 pm Link I am well over 40 and shoot since I was 15. I feel I become more detail oriented and somewhat more romantic or nostalgic (can't find a better term) in doing what I do. Mar 29 20 04:28 am Link Ages of industry leaders: Albert Watson 75, Howard Schatz 77, Patrick Demerchelier 77, Peter Lindberg 73, Mario Testino 63, Annie Lebovitz 69. So what's the point of the question? Jul 29 20 03:36 am Link Yes, with my walking stick!  Aug 01 20 02:43 pm Link Definitely over 40 Aug 03 20 06:36 pm Link 65 and showing the mileage. Two Achilles surgeries in the last three years. Heart attack and four-way bypass last winter. Just got diagnosed with cataracts, so looking forward to lens-replacement surgery. Moving to a new state this month (it's been around for a while but it's new to me) and the MM model base is pretty thin there. My ideas of beauty haven't changed much, but my appreciation for it has deepened. What has diminished is my tolerance for bullshit and unreliability leading up to the shoot. Aug 04 20 04:57 am Link A reminder to anyone under 40. Helmet Newton well into his 80's. He shot for everything and everyone and did not care about public opinion! In fact he regarded questions like this as a " sickness " I'd have to agree, this photographer was amazing and had the pleasure of meeting on several occasions. Age is nothing, consider it a fine wine if you ever get the pleasure! Aug 06 20 06:58 pm Link Is 40 the new 30? As in, don't trust anyone over 40? Aug 07 20 06:35 am Link My mother used to wear a T-shirt that said"Over the hill? What hill? I don't remember any hill." I am there now. Aug 10 20 10:32 am Link < 80 and I'm still clicking!

Aug 13 20 04:19 am Link The most great photographers of all times are all dead. So, the older the better? Aug 30 20 09:33 pm Link |
