I’m not critic, so take what I write here with a grain of salt.
Recently I was reading an article online, and there was a comment, the gist of which was: today’s photographers aren’t great. Not on a technical, nor on an artistic level. Most of them take the same, boring photos and apply some actions in photoshop, or a trendy effect. In a few years, we’ll look at these photos and be able to date them by the effect: “this must have been taken in 2008 or 2009, it’s a classic Kubota“. These photographs will have lower value in the long run due to their limited range of style.
