What is your guys take on Michael Kenna. A lot of insta-art but good insta-art.

dude's brilliant.

black and white =/= insta art, by the way. it should be the default for nearly any photographer. you should have to earn your right to shoot in color.

ignore the fucktards on /p/.

that's how he prints, too. the biggest he prints is 5x7.

i highly recommend his two retrospectives. as well has his book on mont st. michel and japan. calais lace didn't do it as much for me, but those first four books are unlike anything you've ever seen.

According to wiki he takes exposures of upto 10 hours.

yeah he does. with his best photos, you can't tell if they were taken at day or night. his tonality is totally new and unique, which is saying something this far into black and white photography. like i said, dude's brilliant.

Hardly, when I saw his work I instantly thought of stuff on deviantart. There's a whole load of long exposure people who take similar stuff.
Not saying I don't like this guys work - I do. It's just not as groundbreaking as you make it out to be.

Also, it reminds me of my tutor in my photography class. The guy's unbelievable.

he's been doing fine art photography for some twenty years, long before deviantart and the photographers who rip off his stuff.

that thomas joshua cooper is awesome too. hadn't heard of him before.

I never said my guy was original fucktard.
And he actually worked with Adams. He was in the f/64 group Adams created.
And don't be such a typical 4chan fag. Do some research on his work and you might appreciate the guy a bit more.
