>>3341044>This is close but I think it's more that nowadays it's a lot easier to mimic artistic intent rather than create it. The audience and the photographers are both lazier because it's easier to set up or edit a moment, and to take 1,000 shots per day for weeks and end up with one.Another thing is that because it is so easy to do things technical now, the mentality and physical mind, behind the person creating the art is completely different than before the digital age. You had to be very capable with the film tech in order to get anything remotely good out of it and that doesn't even include that actual photo composition. The composition is pretty much all that's left now since everything else is automated.
A similar change happened from painting to photography. Both transitions did open up more possibilities for artistic expression. The problem is that you have to wade through a metric shit ton of bad art and snapshits now. The latter is getting worse by the hour.
