That guy might be a decent photographer, but his images are very lackluster, at least with what is available with the technology of today. He’s probably a pro who never really changed with the times as far as style… which in this industry, is pretty necessary.
Warren- I am a WOMAN. Yes, “browneyedgirl” has the word “girl” in it, and my Flickr icon is a picture of ME- a female. Something about you comes across as uh, dumb.
I have never talked “crap” about people using trendy techniques in post processing, I talk about the overuse/crazy editing techniques that look very fake and/or are used to cover up otherwise poorly-shot photography, and I say when I find some really bad photography (edited or not). I’m not sure what you are getting at here. My style closely matches a lot of mainstream editing techniques; I like to keep my clean edits with minimal “trendiness” but some of what I post online is some of the additional, maybe more creative edits of those images (I always offer a clean edit aside from what might look more trendy).
HDR is really nice when done correctly, but I was referencing a lead-headed guy who thought he was some superior artist yet his HDR was nothing more than a crappy image he oversaturated in Photoshop. I’m not likening your photography to his (yes, it is world’s apart) but I am likening your attitude to his.
