well, sure - he knows how to take a picture with a bright light to show human imperfection. and i'm sure he thinks its really clever too, but the dude at the DMV does the same thing every day, and his portfolio is probably much more interesting.
i know too many professors who do similar work, and they all have a similar style, but at the same time - they really don't have style - mostly due to a lack of knowledge in the technology they are using. so they use simple fonts and simple layouts - i don't know why- they just do...
...and it turns out so unbelievably boring that the end viewer has to believe it was done on purpose.
and the designer/photographer/artist plays it off as "work so base, it is on a higher plane"
reeks of the emperors clothes to me. we all - sorry *scratch that - a few of us here know what good art/design/photog is, and sure "it is what it is and nothing more" and all that blah, blah (artspeak which i find so tiresome)
but if this is design>
what does this communicate to you?if this is fine art> what does this communicate about him?
