I have found that among photographers in general, and among judges of competitions, there is a strong predjudice toward travel photography and Landscape Photos. A large portion of my photography is Street Photoraphy and portraits. In fact, I find landscape work to be a bit repetitive - it becomes kind of boring. To, me, this is too bad, since I personally find that people are endlessly interesting. I wonder if I am alone in this.
Is it perhaps a reaction, subconscious or otherwise, to the over abundance of people in our lives? A longing for space and the dwindling chance to experience other forms of life?
I know I have always found people in my pictures to be intruders.
This is not said to belittle you or your choice of subjects, or to imply that Street Photography is any less an art form. Merely speculating as to the psychology behind the audience and their reactions and to the prejudice you perceive.
