>>4061701Technically you are right but I was referring to *that* color grading we all know about.
Teal/orange, brown/red, grey/dark blue dramatic images, that kind of stuff.
People do that because we tend to look for patterns, we want to fit in, we want to have a recognizable style.
But that is far from having a style, slamming a preset on all the images won't make you an artist with a creative vision.
Whenever I see people posting those dramatic images of Iceland, for instance, I'm like 'you went that far just to show me something that looks like every other fake set of pictures?'
Postprocessing is one thing (and it's 50% of the final image, no matter if film or digital), color grading is another.
Obviously different sensors and films have different looks, but they all try to capture things as they are (creative film emulsions like lomo don't fit here).
Imo by completely filtering out most of colors, you no longer do photography, you just step into digital art territory.
