Have you ever wanted to vent about industry-related things that make you absolutely crazy but you were afraid it would be super unprofessional? Maybe get the lie you told that client off your chest? This Instagram account may be the perfect place to do it. Or to spend a few minutes laughing till your stomach hurts.
Industry Confessionals is only a few days old but it's already gaining traction and making people laugh. That's probably because you can scroll through the account, read the anonymous submissions, and hear every word in your own voice. All those little industry grievances finally have a safe place to be aired, because no names are attached. The best part is that we finally have proof that other photographers are thinking the exact same things we are thinking. Maybe the world isn't such a dark place after all?
Most the confessions are things we can all relate to.
Some are a bit harder to connect with...
Every now and then, the moderator includes a witty comment of their own.
Ouch.
But whether you sympathize, empathize, or just can't believe someone actually said it, this Instagram account is almost guaranteed to have you laughing. And that's not such a bad thing when you need a few minutes break from the photography grind, or if you have a secret to get off your chest.
My favorite is, "If you're a huge bitch on set, I'm including all your fat angels in your proofs. All of them." DEAD
Ahh... quotes about photographers' complaints laid over images taken from Unsplash. So meta. :)
