>Brandon Woelfel
This guy literally has three different types of photos (maximum) that he shoots ad nauseam and puts them all through an enormous amount of post editing.

Why is he so popular?

He will fade out into nothing. Eventually everyone will realize he's a pedophile and a creeper. That's why he's always taking photos of girls with absolutely no curves. Always flat as a board all around. Probably looks too old for him like that.

Body shaming is part of life, dick breathe. Girls with under developed bodies will always look more child like. No hint of a tit, makes you look 11. He's not right. I'm telling you if someone hacked him they would find out he's some creepy Ted Bundy shit. He doesn't sit right with me.

Does he even shoot outside?
There are overlays of bokehballs all over the place, like the ones on top of her chest and hand, the smaller ones on her glasses, and probably the huge ones are composites too.
Even the rows of bokeh balls on the top seem more composite than actually part of the scene.
Main light seems to be a beautydish or similar from the bottom, the area around her neck looks really weird in terms of temperature and tint, I guess it's the editing.

This style does nothing for me, but if it's his thing then consistency is a good thing and not bad. It might be overdone now, but if he was the one that made it popular, consistency is what made it popular and a trend. Your style is much more recognisable if it's consistent.

Isn't this just a specific part of the industry? If you don't like it, don't get involved, it's pretty simple. There's a demand for these kinds photos which is why they're so popular and the guy's probably making mega bucks. But that's only one part of a broad market.

Because people like the look.

Outside of the literal crapshoot that's the art work, the business of photography is pretty simple: you shoot what people like. The more people who like it, the more business you get. Add in basic people skills, and that's it.

I like McKinnon more just because his pictures at least have a bit more substance (not the same goddam "portrait of someone in neon lights with a fuckton of added lens flairs"), and he takes some genuinely good landscape shots.

I don't like the "influencer" personalities of either, and I despise that they use post processing to add things to their pictures (snow, lens flairs, etc). I'll excuse using the healing brush to take out a sign or something distracting in the background, but anything else crosses the threshold of authenticity in my book.

I wish we could make it a rule that if you want to criticize Woelfel, McKinnon and their ilk on this board that you should post some of your own work first. Because I'm 99% sure that the people complaining about these guys have never taken a single photo better than them. I'm familiar with /p/'s general skill level, I've seen the rpt and the instagram threads and for the most part, none if it is particularly impressive. There's rare instances of an interesting photographer dumping their stuff here and there, like that guy who posted photos from the Adriatic coast awhile back. But those types of people are few and far between and I'm almost certain that you're just the average rpt snapshit shitter and not these rare photographers here that actually show some promise.

tl;dr
Stop worrying about what Woelfel is doing and worry about improving your own shitty photography you mouthbreathing shitter.

What's the problem with editing, adding fake bokeh, etc.? What matters is the final picture. And his pictures look better and attract more people than your shitty street photography or whatever.

That's why he is famous, earns shit tons of money while you still live in your moms basement.

Might be bait but he's correct about the final picture being all that matters.
A result is a result, if you went out of your way to achieve it through a hard way, good for you, but you don't get extra points artistically just because you used a different method.

There can be appreciation in the artistry of doing things in a hard way, but if the result is subpar, that's all there is to it.
For instance you can appreciate a very skilled machinist using a lathe to produce a mechanical part. But that doesn't make the part "better" in practical use, than a precision CNC'ed one.

If you have an issue with photo manipulations, you have to remember that the extensively manipulated work of the early pictorialists is what first convinced people to consider photography an art and not a scientific tool.

Thomas Kinkade did the same thing with his paintings for decades. It wasn't about pushing the envelope and taking massive risks on new ideas or concepts. Dude just wanted to make a pleasing image that a lot of regular people who don't pay attention to contemporary art would want to hang on their living room wall. It's ok. We don't all have to be Picasso.
