ADDENDUM:
sometimes i wonder what is the difference between looking at an urban outfitters catalog and looking at art photography that circulates the internet. it feels like both of them are selling me an ‘alternative image’ to aspire to. i mean, i get that marketing follows art (the opposite could also be argued), but i think artists should feel obliged to make it difficult for that to happen. i also get that this could easily be read as a ‘crotchety’ opinion and the perpetuation of art as an elite sphere isn’t necessarily productive to the ‘goal’ of art (if it has one). all art doesn’t have to be subversive to be good, but what i’m saying is: artists right now, and i am talking in particular about young photographers who produce a very particular (yet very widely proliferated) strain of imagery, are in a complacent funk where it just feels like a shallow celebration of youth culture.

d-d-d-dats all folks!!!!

hey! i like you, and the things you’re saying. i don’t really get the ‘celebration of youth culture’ though- i get painted with that brush a lot or at least approached by people because apparently i do that. i take photos of my friends, who are young, and at some point that means my pictures become a celebration of youth? or more, my question is, how does one be a young photographer and not celebrate youth culture?

Unfortunately the only real answer to this is to not photograph your friends or anything to do with youth, impossible really. Even if you were to take up landscape or photography the photographs you would make would be influenced by this “youth culture” and could easily be read as being so. Unfortunately advertising always follows current art trends, and equally as unfortunately the current trend seems to be the work that is, for want of a better term, ‘snapshot aesthetic’.

Hey, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
