My two cents!
There are very few photographers who are artists. Here is one...

These pics are just the tip of the Newton iceberg. Research more if you like. He did many Vogue covers as well as others.
Or, try Terry Richardson...again a very minor part of his work. Many mag covers as well

This stuff is a long, long way from backlit squished balls. Sorry, FB.

Not that I don't think his work is good, but no where near art. That is my point.

I have been in the photography business longer than anyone on this board and most in this business and I don't consider myself an artist, but I am really fucking good at making a living out of taking pictures.
