Looks almost exactly like Pskaught's work.

What are they doing to get everything that gross brown color with the weirdly off saturation?

I'm not a big fan of the harsh shadows on the right. Shows that he could have used another flash. Also the composition is shit and he's trying to mask the fact that this is an incredibly boring photograph by using ADVANCED POST PROCESSING 101™ but I mean who cares I bet he's more popular than anyone here.

I like it actually. Not as photography but visually in general. It's moar graphic design than photography. That's why I shoot film.

It's logically better than anything you guys have taken, as the majority of you have never posted anything so the only conclusion we can make about your work is that it doesn't exist.

ITT: "trendy stylized photos with poor composition" = "good"

Also, 7/10
But it would have been 0/10 if you weren't a well-known tripfag.

$100 says nobody on this board (other than Pskaught) will ever be able to take pictures like this.

All of you idiots are too busy jacking off over gear or taking macro shots of flowers to even try model photography.

Say that it's shit all you want, but working with models is hard work and a lot more challenging than some gay landscape photo.

Quit bawwwing. The whole point is to comment and criticise. The "LETS SEE YOU DO BETTER!!!!!!!!! ;____________;" argument is beyond lame.

Who cares if it is challenging? I've seen great photos by the masters before. I know when I see something great, even if I am not capable of creating it like Winograd or Adams. You can be a critic without being an artist.

You may as well not come here at all with your attitude. All you seem to want is "KAWAIIIIIIIIII A++++++ I LOVE YOU!!!".

The girl front and center looks like she has jaw cancer.

Take away the post processing and it's a really boring picture. Random place with random people all bunched up in the center. Psknaught's stuff at least has some humor in it (and composition too.)

I don't see why people are bawwwwwwing allover this.

The rest of them are awful, but this is... not bad. I mean, other than the fake texture bullshit.

Does anyone here know how to do the PP that's shown in the OP image?
I'd really like to know how to do this so I can mock this style.

How the hell does Dave Hill get things to look so shiny and have so much contrast and pop?

Almost all his photos look like composite images, and while at least half of them are (people obviously shooped into different backgrounds) some of them, like this one, appear to just be shooped to fuck...
>> sage !i/euDJmWr2
>>210030
>>shooped to fuck...

though honestly, that picture doesn't seem like it would be that hard to recreate provided all of the information was there in the original file.

sidenote; I like the guy in the middle with his toenails painted white
>> Pentard !pjwjmEQ1RM

Yeah, I suppose it's more of a case of having a LOT of lights and knowing how to use them than anything else.

for that shot, but you could do it with natural lighting really. It just depends.

I would try it on this picture to see how similar I could get it, but I lost the raw of it when my hard drive crashed.

Lol srsly /p/, what DO YOU accept? Street photography, photo journalism and landscapes like ansel adams? Is that all?

I actually kinda like a lot of them, like these for example:

Yes, the pp is quite over the top, especially in OP's pic, and the composition is lacking in a lot of these, but I still think they're decent.

So if the composition sucks, and the visual aesthetic sucks, what's left? The content? These are just empty model photos or empty promotional photos for a bunch of (probably mediocre) Eurotrash DJs.
