Anybody who purchased a camera can call himself a photographer, and a lot of these types actually start their own 'professional photography business'. Unfortunately for them, it still takes skills to be a good photographer. Now there is a blog dedicated to outing these bad photographers.
On the blog
You Are Not A Photographer you can find an example every day on how it's not to be done. The site doesn't show the names of the photographers, but they do show a sample of their work. Often it is not specifically a bad photo, it can be bad post processing or simply bad taste too.
All photos shown are taken by photographers who call themselves professional and are selling their work through their companies. Perhaps the most disturbing is that there are actually people buying from them..
More bad photography can be found at
Awkward Family Photos and
Model Mayhem Mishaps. So next time you are thinking everybody is making better pictures than you, go to these sites for a reality check.
