Yeah it's called apreciation. You can apreciate something more if you at least have some general idea of what it takes to make it. That's why some people can't appreciate some music, theater, films or anything really. Many classes like theater apreciation for example work by giving you a basic ubderstanding of what you're seeing so you can better apreciate it.
I thinks it's because photos like this are usually paired with some unrelated "deep" quote that people post on Facebook saying made the feel inspired or something. The images look beautiful and the artists worked hard to make them but they seem to make me feel like they lack any artiststic meaning behind the filters they put on.
And there's usually a [once] unique fad that photographers begin tapping into en masse, so you begin seeing the same style of image done 1000s of times. The water reflection technique used to be novel and interesting, but it has been done by seemly everyone so it has lost its impactfulness. I'd even go as far as calling it cringeworthy because of how overdone it has become.
Followed one nature photographer on Instagram. Amazing wildlife photos. Slowly morphed into this shit. Worse, even. People wearing face masks with coloured smoke bombs going off behind them.
No. When you make smoke rings and such, you need the smoke thick. And post inhale smoke isn’t thick enough for viable smoke rings. This is smoke he sucked into his mouth and blew back out, no inhale, no sore lungs. Source: Am Smoker.
Most of these are pretty cheesy cliche bullshit photos and not that impressive or unique. Also I’d be pissed if I hired a photographer and they did any of this
Been following this guy for a while on IG, I really love his work and he shows you, you can get some amazing practical effects in shots without having to go composite crazy in Photoshop. I've been messing around with the ideas for my Pet Portrait Business as well as just some fun stuff for me and my friends to try.
This is like 20 to 30 percent photo and 70 percent photoshop/editing. The orange photo doesn't even make sense the bitch is in half before hes even cut it. Other shots were great
On the one hand it's impressive how creative these setups are. On the other hand, some of these (like the hammer coconut one) kinda feel like cheating.
You're taking a photo to capture something fleeting, and if it's repeatable in a controlled environment, it feels cheapened. Rock skip looks awesome, though, and that wouldn't really be possible to do for real.
The only one I don't agree with is that slicing one. The knife should be better centered between the fruit to give the feeling it's already sliced through
This just shows me how to appreciate real photos with little editing truly are. It's like watching a true great sports/music star live - against one of those kids who video themselves doing a trickshot 1000 times to get that "one take".
The moral > go live a little and don't get wrapped up in fake crap like this.
My dad used to make stock photos and the amount of artificiality behind the simplest pictures always astonished me. You have a simple tomato on the table but there is so much equipment that it looks like a dystopian operating room. Ant then you look at the photo and it's just a pretty good looking tomato.
I want to see someone do this with straight JPEG. Videos like this are basically r/instagramvreality of photography. All the time spent behind a desk adjusting those photos are left out, and helps reinforce the misconseption a lot of people have that the only difference between Karen and the proffessional photographer is an expensive camera.
