Straight out of camera photographers

Just curious are you or are there any well known photographers that are known for being straight out of camera photographers?  I'm talking about someone who shoots with digital and does absolutely nothing to their photos?  

When I first started shooting DSLR, I did put a lot of thought into customizing the camera controls for the best possible JPGs.  But after finally (took years) getting comfortable with RAW that habit fell by the wayside.

If there are, they're just short changing themselves. Non post is like vanilla ice cream, bland.....

Well known photographers, I cannot tell you truthfully. Personally I use my controls for my jpegs, and have the RAWs as backups. You can get what you want in the camera many times, once you know how a particular model behaves. That is the one thing I love about digital in that it is more consistent that film ever was. If you wanted true consistency with film you bought whole cases so you got the same lot run. Now the sensor always sees it the exact same every time. Only the settings are changed to protect the innocent. 

Why?  That's like doing a half job of taking the photo.  No purist here, I believe post is half the process of taking a photo.  

Never.  Any photo that will get seen by anyone other than myself will go though Photoshop first.  

I like vanilla ice cream!     but don't care for bland photos! 

How ironic, with digital, I'm all about post processing.  However this weekend while cleaning out garage and storage shed for a garage sale, I found my original Nikon film camera my father gave me.  So this will be straight out of camera.  

You kidding?  I post process nearly all my shots. 

Not ones that get shared

Even if someone advertises at a gallery that all images are unprocessed, I would think "What are you trying to prove? That you are a master at compositions?" And in afterthought "But not processing?"

I have heard of purists that only use a standard (50mm) lens. But then you pick up the unity in style running through their work. But will one pick up non-processed if you look through someones' work? I doubt it.

What you will pick up is mediocrity 

I don't know if there are any photographers particularly known for it. I've done some local sports/events which hasn't exactly been in high pressure, need-it-yesterday kinds of situations. But I know now there's often an expectation to have photos on a website before the game's even done, so those photographers better get it right in camera. I know at top pro levels of sports there are no excuses, and publications like SI will have their photographers turn in their media cards so their editors can see what they're getting in camera.

I'm a film photographer and shooting digitally too. I can print sometimes directly from the media card without any further post processing and other times I'll need to adjust or brighten for printing. Same when I've done darkroom work, if I shot a roll at the same time in the same lighting chances are once I'd determine exposure time for the first one I'd be able to crank out prints without any further work (burning in a corner or dodging out some detail). Other times I might have to start again with each print on determining exposure time, or might have to do dodging or burning or both. Just depends.

Doing portrait work seems as if it's always been standard practice to do a certain amount of touching up even using film. I haven't done studio work to know what editing would be the expectation for that. It took hours and hours and years of learning and practice to get good at it but I can frame and compose images and have the timing down shooting sports and events; and besides that and nailing the focus it's a matter I think of getting a proper exposure to be able to use photos out of camera with minimal or no post processing.

Sure straight out of the camera and into my computer

If it's not there in 2 weeks, it goes away. I've heard this mantra a number of times, and agree with it.
