‘Grow up': 15-year-old professional photographer gets pressured by her grandma to shoot her uncle's wedding for free, she refuses then gets slandered in front of the whole family

Photography is just pushing a button, right? WRONG. Being a professional photographer means brandishing complicated and expensive equipment knowledgeably, managing lighting, ISO levels, composition, and a whole slew of entangling factors to capture a beautifully candid moment. And that's not even putting into consideration the time that goes into post-production…

Put simply, it's not easy to be a good photographer.

But for some reason, people with no knowledge of the photography world love to lend their opinions of the value of this challenging art form, claiming it's just 'pushing a button' and standing in the middle of the action. Okay then, Grandma, why don't you give it a whirl and see how the photos turn out?

One girl recently went head to head with her own granny when she had to defend her craft. Although she was only 15 years old, u/harryshousee had already been professionally shooting weddings under her sole proprietorship, paying taxes, managing clients, and taking pride in her work for two years. However, when it came time for her uncle's wedding (which she had agreed to do at a discount as their wedding gift), things took a turn. Her grandma seemed to think that any untrained monkey could hold a camera at a wedding and capture perfectly the love and intricacies of a complicated event and decidedly slandered her own granddaughter for having the audacity to ask for a measly $300 to pay for her time and efforts.
