It´s no so easy, but in restricted cases can find some sucess. If one shots everything verry blured, confused, underexposed not bringing a clear subject, we can recognize a personality here. Somoone rebel, with poor relationships, with bad social feelings and etc.
But it is not a law. In some cases we are learning. Others we had these intention. A lot of shots needs to be put in analysis to get some conclusions. |

I suppose to a degree you can make general assumptions about people based on their subject choice and their particular style, if they have one. On the other hand we have, for example, Kiwiness, who has stated that he mostly takes 'stock' photographs for DPC because it is a style that usually wins. So if we were to judge people based on what they submit to challenges we are likely, given no other information, to assume that Kiwi enjoys the photo subjects he shoots and incorrectly judge him as a person. If we did know he only shoots that style and subject as a means to win then we could assume that he is a competitive individual who likes to do what it takes to win.
Of course we could just imagine that every photographer was naked behind the camera when they took their shot. That could certainly liven things up.

Not to mention myself.
I just dream to shoot wonderful models (Dr. Rick's style), but I am left with boring items and even more boring still life by the lack of the prime resources.
I didn't mean it: 'Elementary, Watson'.

If it is possible to tell the type of person by the subject they shoot then it could also be possible to tell the type of person based on what subjects they have available to shoot. If all someone has to shoot are kitchen appliances then it means they could love their kitchen far too much, or else they are likely chained to the sink.

which ultimately it makes a big difference..
In the first case photography would be describing the photographer's nature, in the second case it would describe the photographer's destiny.
Answering to faidoi serioulsy (thanks to your stimulation), I find that most of the time you just see the photographer's destiny and very rarely the photographer's nature, because very few are good enough to show that. |
