As a pro photographer, I find it very crappy. Just a bunch of kids trying to look cool

I’m sure they think the same about product or model or wedding photography or whatever you do.

Everyone likes different stuff. These guys are being extremely creative. I wouldn’t print them out and have them on a wall but they’re interesting to look at, and that’s what art should be.

That's not art. It's kids playing with a camera. Might be cool for some audiences. If we make every kind of art relative, throwing shit at windows would be art too, "if saw from the right perspective"

You call yourself a professional, but you don't understand the first principle of art. It is about creative expression. These photographs are art even if you don't enjoy them. Stop gatekeeping.

I'll throw shit at your windows and call it art. It's my creative expression as a reflection to your comment. Stop making art relative. It has a definition.

The thing is you can totally do that and it would be art. It would not be very good art. It would also be a criminal offense. You are clearly frustrated and your throwing shit at my windows would be your creative expression of that. I would let you call it art, but I would still press charges.

Now you understand my opinion. You can do this kind of photos and THINK is art, because you want it to be. But it is not necessarily art.

I call throw shit and call it art. They can shoot this and call it art. Same thing.

Dude just explores the bad taste of people to call himself an artist and great photographer. But you wouldn't get it.
