Now compare them to renowned photogs like Daido Moriyama, Holly Andres, Gregory Crewdson.
Moriyama - snapshits of Tokyo, but his are emotionally gritty because of his uses of tones and contrast.
Andres - Hitchcock 60s suburb that doesn't look cheap, because of Andres's background in painting. She knows colors and gradients.
Crewdson - theatrically disturbing, thanks to his mastery of lighting.
This is what separates these photogs from flickr ones - their knowledge on how to create visually pleasant images, not reliance on inane messages. Expertise vs cheap props.
