Do we shoot for other photographers?

[DrTang]

I shoot for the subjects mostly...I like it when they like it... and I shoot to a smaller extent, for my friend who is a photographer. We shoot together often and it is always interesting to see how we each tackle the same subjects.
while we each have our distictive look - our styles also tend to rub off on one another in small ways

Also..I shoot to amuse myself

Who do we shoot photographs for?

Try this:
If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
Don't worry, be happy.
Hakuna matata. (There are no worries.) (also "hamna shida" or "hamna tabu")
(Add on whatever other one-sentence sayings as found.)

I photograph because I must. Psychosis. Complusion. I got started with photography because of moonlight. And I keep photographing because of what I've seen of the moon or by moonlight.

Who was Vivian Maier's audience? She didn't need one, and just went and photographed, again and again. If you are doing something for pay (one way or another) then of course you are photographing for someone. But who knows if you are photographing for other photographers? Really, it doesn't matter, so pay it no mind.

Well you're in your little room
and you're working on something good
but if it's really good
you're gonna need a bigger room
and when you're in the bigger room
you might not know what to do
you might have to think of
how you got started sitting in your little room

Photographers are not good eating! They are either too fat because they survive on junk food, or they are too skinny because they can't afford groceries. Save your shots for more nutritious game.
