Best Photographers? Best manipulators or photoshopers maybe. Yes their work is beautiful but not the way i was expecting from "best photographers". 10 Years ago it was much more honorable and hard to be a best photographer. To see and capture not everyone see, not capture everything that everyone see with photoshop and fancy lenses...

Every single one of these guys save two or three is a high profile fashion and beauty/portrait photographer with a massive team and budget to back them up. Effectively what you are saying with this list is that big money makes you a good photographer. I have personally worked with a few of these people and i have close friends who have worked with others. Most of them are good because of their team. The images you are showing were not made by the photographer, they are made by the hair and make up team, the lighting techs and assistants, and the art directors for the magazines they were shot for.

when photoshop is called photogtaphy. when editing rig anf software worth more then the camera and lens

@clearlyed 7 жыл бұрын

+Skip ad I think you have an interesting take on this. But I think separating he two is somewhat foolish. Photography and post production go hand in had. They have sonar the invention of photography. the dark room was a place of manipulation and choices made to effect the final image. As we consistently push these creative boundaries the line is ever blurred. But a great photographer is a great photographer. Equally angreat retoucher is a great retoucher. Put them together with preproduction, lighting, makeup, hair, wardrobe the perfectly chosen location (if landscape photographer then waiting for the right light and setting up in the perfect location), the correct lens, camera, film stock and everything else that goes with it. The photographer clicks. It's great. Then it goes into post production, culling, choosing the final image, retouch grading and mastering. Then choosing the delivery format maybe print here we choose paper and inks that suite or digital we choose the monitor at dogsled display. As you can see there are countless ways images are manipulated every single time. Photoshop is just a single small piece.

@alexcaruso8858 5 жыл бұрын

@@clearlyed Darkroom manipulation has always been a thing, yes, but there is a line that divides photo manipulation and photography. Both are there own antonymous mediums and both are great. When you start adding or removing important objects in post production, it then becomes a different art. In fact, it's disrespectful to treat digital imaging artists as their own entity.

+Sion Hannuna sorry you thought this list of photographers was somewhat skewed. It was definitely made with honesty in the fact that these are the actual people o take time to look at and be inspired by. You are right though there was a lot of fashion photographers. I guess K just see a lot more in there work that fashion. I see creativity, angles lighting and clear style. The fashion is just how they get paid. Thanks for watching though. It means a lot.
