>>3648904I'm demonstrating that you're a basic bitch with so little exposure to good photographic influences that you thought HCB was the best example for this, because he's a very poor example.
It's a far less true statement than many dozens of photographers whose work is actually good and iconic outside of the context of being the mascot of a brand or the author of a well known book.
Nobody on /p/ would put down this shot of Fan Ho's because it's actually incredible good. Some of his lesser work would get put down. It's almost like there are ways to judge an image beyond how famous the person that took it is.
