It is when people are jealous that they criticize a photographer for "sensationalist" photos, even after they know that these shots were taken for an extreme sports magazine which needs its front page to be flashy as fuck. When you consider what the guy was hired for he was doing his job perfectly. This is not for a gallery and even then I still proclaim that those photos are beautiful. You'd have to be pretty blind not to be visually attracted to those photos. Also people saying that "camera isn't that important blahblah" people know you need skill, but frankly it can't be bad to have a better camera. chill out bro its not jealousy its just disdain for mediocre work being praised so much i am just a hobbyist in photography (mind you, I am a full time univ student dbl majoring in bioloyg and music, and also a serious pianist) but that doens't mean i cannot criticize "pro's" works. Same as how music critics can and should criticize msuical performances although they can't play as well as the performers. But, anyway, if you really that curious, i have some photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/84512959@N00/ You mention flashiness. I don't think these photos are even that flashy or eye-catching (hence left with almost zero merit) Check out this thread for ski/snowbard pictures that are visually more striking AND technically more impressive. http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=188549 | ||

anyway good art is good art, no matter how old the artist is and vice versa we look at a prodigy and admire his potential and precociousness but not necessarily his art (but this guy being over 21, is way too old to be a prodigy and his work isn't exactly promising either) lol and these shots are not action? tacky? hmmm because he doesn't go crazy with cheap vignette, sepia-toning, toning presets? i recommend that you hone your aesthetic, artistic sensibilities it can really be a rewarding experience | ||

also no effect can be called cheap, it is only called cheap by the frightened people who are left behind in the dust. a lot of painters called photography cheap when it started being considered art. | ||

the pics you posted are far from being "creative" showing "lifestyle" doing something different for the sake of being different is pointless yes the effect inherently i guess is not cheap but they are trite and almost completely stylistic ... so it's usage can be called cheap | ||
