I unironically love Brooke Shaden's work. And she seems nice and genuinely passionate about making her arts, if a bit wrapped up in the whole ~*foLLoW yOuR dReAmZ*~ that seems to be a common theme amongst the creativelive/seminar selling crowd.

Same. I even took a workshop from her. While the style is getting a bit tired (there's only so many things you can levitate and put in your hair) she is an expert on planning a shoot, drawing inspiration from your surroundings and post. I really like her workflow and attitude. She's an artist.

You all are insufferable. Heavens forbid a young artist figure a way to make a living off her art/hobby/passion. Of course the only real way is to apply for grants or sell the 50th banal shot off the side of a road using expired velvia.

I literally want to shoot all of you, starting with Reichstag. You are the people (though I know very few of you actually studied art) that made art school completely horrible with your cliquish behavior of what is and isn't acceptable to admire.

Artists?! forming a group with similar styles and talking about it? Never before in history has this occurred, and of course were it to, the art created would be worthless.

It's especially hilarious because one can clearly see that you assume all 50,000 flickr followers these white teens have are ignorant buffoons, but of course your 3 admirers are serious artists who know what good photography is.

I would literally get more out of looking through a 4th grader's notebook of Lisa Frank stickers than look through Reichstag's body of work, but he gets to piss over any photo that has even a modicum of joy or passion in it, and everyone else rushes to either fellate his opinions, or be the new cheerios pisser of the day. Oh unless it's a boring film shot, then we all are supposed to go gaga. Bonus if it's grainy or of 3rd world poverty porn.

Fair point now that I have a think about it. But I think it was knee jerk response to seeing the sponsors tab and thinking "eww, you're doing this to make some serious money?". It comes back to the point if you have money from these people and it doesn't have any conditions on what you can/can't do, then all that money does is give you freedom to do your work 24/7, rather than doing lovely work in between your day job and sleeping. I think we'd all be pretty stoked about getting cash to take the pictures you want to full time.


And here I was getting all uppity about thanking sponsors while writing a loving research grant proposal, naming anything or anyone that has ever supported me. :ironicat:

And if you listen to her talk, she never tries to be more then what she is. She simply enjoys surrealist photography and she doesnt hide the fact its manipulated or fake. She has a concept and she shoots it.

We take images of banal things all the time and label it as art, so i dont know why a girl who understands composition, color, and concept isnt an artist.

That's fine. But a lot of other people read and post in this thread and most of them probably aren't concerning themselves with catering to what you (or anyone else) specifically want to see.

If you like it, cool. If you don't, ignore it. This seems simple enough.
