Bitch and fucking moan. Whine and complain and cry and seethe. You faggots bitch an awful lot about how everyone's photography is shit. So, lets see examples of what you think is a great photo, and which photographers you truly love.

I unironically love Ansel Adam's work.

I like Daido Moriyama a lot. I find him to be a great inspiration mostly in his shooting philosophy. The way he wanders like a stray dog. very focused on creating books. not worrying too much about having a technically perfect image. his idea of the fleeting moment.
A good example of this is pic related. the way it evokes in me the feeling of a distant memory, a mundane moment in time, yet, somehow there is this subtle beauty emerging from it. conjuring in me this nostalgic feeling for a moment that I have never experienced myself.
This documentary on him is well worth the watching.

Rinko Kawauchi. Her work is probably one of the biggest influences on mine. Very intimate and minimalist.

I've also grown fond of the Depression Era stuff done by Dorothea Lange and everyone else who worked under Roy Stryker, specifically the Missouri area. I can't remember who exactly shot that state but I want to say Lange had her hands on it.

>>3747526 I don't really have a favorite photographer. I like a lot of different kinds of images, even if they aren't the exact kind of images I'd take. I take influence from and appreciate what different photographers bring to the table, and find it fit to celebrate them for doing so. Image making is sort of in my soul, it's the loudest, clearest calling in life I've ever had, and so naturally I'm interested in other people who feel the same, even if they don't approach it the exact way I would.

I didn't see the article about plummeting photography prices, but I don't follow the actual art market all that carefully. To me, it's irrelevant and always has been. I do know that all my photo homies started painting again, which could show an oversaturation of an already crowded market. Seems like the value of a photo in general has dropped.

>>3748939 No. Part of his thing is huge prints. Besides his style and subject matter he is known for pushing the size limits of high quality printmaking. I wouldn't be surprised if his work isn't even available in real editions in smaller sizes.
