The White/Weston/Adams/Strand/etc approach is totally bankrupt if you're trying to get into museums. On the other hand, if you're trying to make a living as an artist, you might stand a chance. |
I agree with this. Color is currently king. For most folks currently going to school studying photography or art, Weston/Adams is not much more relevant to them as Carleton Watkins or Jackson was to me way back when.
One reason is many of the photographers who studied with White or took workshops from Adams are older and closer to retirement and probably seen as somewhat aesthetically out of touch by students today.
