The fact that photo editing software includes a "sky replacement" option makes me grumpy.

bro cooked rice into pasta 😭

Agreed

Oh wow. Yeah no, this is digital art for sure. They literally just had to crop the light post out and decrease the exposure, assuming it was shot RAW and not just a cell phone jpeg

I unfollowed the account when I saw this. To each his own. Just show me what you can do SOOC

In the art world it is sometimes called “mixed media.”

Idk… this screams photography to me because the artist had a vision they were able to see through. Part of being a photographer is to know what you need to capture to get your end result and bringing an idea to life. Everyone has their own process and I found the results from this photographer’s work pretty impressive.

I really don't understand why so many people have difficulty understanding something so obvious. Many people want to stretch the meaning of something until it practically means anything.

The final image definitely looks great, but to me, photography is capturing the moment and that definitely wasn't the moment captured. This is also a good example of why every time I see a stunning photo, I'm always a bit skeptical as to whether or not that's what was actually shot and how much it was "touched up".

he literally said its an edit of a photo. following your logic any edited / processed photo is digital art. including photos automatically processed by your camera.
