Post-renaissance aesthetics and capitalism aren't foes - they are inseparable and incestuous.(posted 8259 days ago)I did not mean to imply this if I did. My comment was more a reaction to the presentation of a group of photos that seemed to hit every major style in that vein, which could be a result of who edited. There just isn't any feel for the photographer in them, it could be the work of any of thousands of mid-market commercial photographers. There was a portrait photographer in Italy whose work was discussed here (brought up by you?) that I thought was far better, although that may be because it was his presentation.
