Fine art photography isn’t about just capturing stark reality afaik, Photoshop isn’t some mark against it in this context.

gursky is a very important and influential photographer, and it's not like you can just get an original resolution copy of one of his photos from a website; you have to get it through him, so it's like prints this way:

very important artist makes a limited number of pieces -> bitchmade billionaire cucks throw money at acquiring one of five copies in order to help them forget their dick is tiny

you're probably getting caught up in the "i could do that" of it all, but the price of a work is tied intimately to how desperate wealthy people are to own a piece of an artist's body of work, not how technically difficult a particular photo was to capture

the question to ask is why his this guy important and influential. i'm not talking about technical detail. i'm talking about art in the faggy sense.

his portfolio doesn't seem like the art in the faggy sense that rich people pay millions for as to paintings:

Multi millionaire modern art, especially photography, is basically equivalent to winning the lottery. That said, the monumental scale of his work is at least something you don't see every day. This guy enrages me less than Richard Prince, who makes millions and billions by taking photographs of other photographs
