The hobby / professional camera field has to my knowledge always been divided between technologists and artists. One group who doubled down on the technical side, and one group coming from an artistic background.

The Venn Diagram of where the two meet is not that big.



May be I cannot express my thoughts clearly. Sorry, my English is not fluent and I don't always have enough time to polish my expose.

For me "Technographers" are not people who are on the technical side of photography. Real technical side is important from craftsmanship perspective, but only as a tool with photography goal.

"Tecnographers" are people who care only for cameras and photographic gear in general. They follow marketing gurus and camera reviews and participate in brand defined groups. They are obsessed with "latest tech" and "showing off" in "Photography competitions" or "Group Meetings". They are the most effective customers for manufacturers and in general are miles away from photography as an artistic expression or even craftsmanship.


Ah I think I know the type and what you mean! Doubling down on the sharpness of a pixel in a lens/sensor and having endless debates about it if you don’t buy the right brand.


Exactly:)
