Hi guys, so I realized there's not really a photography post that focuses on the craft so let's talk about it. What makes a good photographer? Tell stories or experiences about photography. How long have you gotten into photography? ETC.

I'll start. I love photography since I got started back in 2013. I have done mostly Cosplay photography but I want to branch out soon to some model photography and scenery photography. When doing photography it's like you are directing your own movie and working with some one on a shoot should fell more like two friends working together and talking. It's the kind of art form that gives you the creative freedom and you can also toss around ideas with your subject. Like all things in life, you treat you photo subject with respect and making them look as perfect as you can make them.

My best experience with a photographer was someone I met on craigslist, of all places, he wanted to do some fantasy style PG-13 shoots and had a very specific idea. We met in a Starbucks and it was pretty clear immediately that he was a family guy who's intent was just to hire a model so he can work on his hobby of making horror related stories in short photo shoots. I was paid for my time, travel, and given a copy of all the edited photo's after months of planning. Every other photographer I've tried to meet with has been a perv trying to be smooth about paying for sex by calling it 'photo shoot for private collection' or something equally creepy, another typical issue is photographers not wanting you to bring anyone along with you to the shoot.
Personally I've been taking photo's since I took a class at a community college while still in high school. Photo shoots are a mix of joy and total nightmares for me, behind or infront of the camera. I enjoy editing and setting up the concept of the shoot most of all. 1st I get to plan the 'story'. As a photographer I'm focused on relaying how the models look while shooting, often pausing to show them a few shots so they can see my point of view, this can sometimes frustrate me as concepts are sometimes hard to bring to life. Finally I am back to enjoying myself with the editing, this is where I get to see all the effort finally come to life, cropping and taking out anything distracting gives me a lot of satisfaction.
And dats me feelings on photography!

I thought for sure this thread would see more action :/
So I s'pose I'll slide out from the shadows for a moment and participate a bit.
Most of my work is in video these days but I still shoot a lot of photos which is still what I find the most rewarding.
I started out in photography back in '95/'96 when I needed a couple more credits to fill out my liberal arts major and have dabbled with cameras on and off since.
I spent quite a few years shooting fashion or musicians or whatever was cool to me at the time. I got way into composites and levitation and other Photoshop trickery for a bit and it still comes in handy quite frequently but mostly I find myself going back to analogue formats these days. Right now I'm rediscovering the beauty of imperfection, the mechanical "clunk" of cameras older than me, and enjoying working on some projects that are much less stylized than most of my previous work. I spend a lot less time retouching and a lot more time processing and scanning film.
And at that, I don't know what makes a good photographer anymore. My ideals and tastes are constantly shifting to the point of nearly being fluid.
But I do know what makes a bad photographer and it rarely has anything to do with their imagery.

Thought I'd post this here for people just getting into photography. Never hurts to know the basics of the craft.
