Can someone please correct the title. Insatgram, really?

I think everyone is taking this video out of context. Cory never claimed to be a photographer, and i'm not sure what him being a ''hipster'' has to do with anything. As far as Andria using live view, if that's how she shoots and delivers solid work then more power to her. But this documentary is not about two professional photographers, its about two people who's lives have been have been changed by photography, one being a ''professional'' and one just using instagram.

Jens, if you would have watched more carefully you would have seen that she only uses live-view when using tilt-shift. And it’s not hard to understand why she is doing it (manual focus).

The only thing that bothered me about this documentary was the fact that the guy was using nothing but an iPhone. As for the girl shooting through live view and “chimping” (which I should add is a term I absolutely hate), those tools are added to professional grade cameras for a reason and anyone who frowns upon professionals using them is pretentious/overly precious about the picture taking process. I highly doubt anyone who looks at a professional photographer’s portfolio decides against hiring them because they actually inspect their work after shooting or used live view.

I gotta agree that the “mass hipsteria” in this video made it really hard to watch. Why can’t people just be themselves? Must they try SO hard?

These people shouldn’t represent photography. The guy even says he only does it to get cred from other people, otherwise he wouldn’t do it. The girl chimps between every shot, or shoots through live view with her 5000 dollar setup.

They probably get some nice images though, even if they’re set up.
