>>4366238Because she was a woman shooting at a time when there were very very few female photographers. This is catnip for feminists and shitlibs.

>>4366238she's a woman. that's enough for commie libshits praising her shit. like that cunt ada lovelace and that other cunt grace hopper and that nasa cunt. all of them were incompetent or just assistants yet they're being praised by commies like there's no tomorrow

>>4366411Maier is an exercise in asking why photography often isn't considered high art/real art.If a random retard takes enough photos, if you go through them later you will find a few dozen good ones. At the time, no one would have found them good due to them still being in their original context - the random output of a random person with a camera.
>>4366397she was not>>4366395indeed
>>4366467the size of her sensor helped her a lotbecause medium format is higher quality it made the ordinary more worth looking at than it would have been with a blurry lens and half of a full 35mm frame. this is why 4x5 is preferred for photographing trees. no one wants to look at a grainy tree shaped impression as much as they want to admire a tree in greater detail.
>>4366238>How did she do it?Better than you.>>4366471>natural born gearfag>what is compositionGet lost you fucking retard.
all of the retards itt who are saying her work was shit and easy, feel free to pick up a camera and hit the street and make work like. take a week or two and post your shit in this thread. accept this and i'll keep this thread bumping for you photo geniuses.
>>4366473>go and do the exact opposite of what she did to prove you can do what she didWhat did zhe mean by this?
>>4366472What is composition? Something she never used. See >>4366467If you take enough photos eventually some will be good. That’s it. Her nice gear increased the keeper rate because something as boring as her usual shit only benefits from sharpness = more for the eye to look at. Shit gear is good for one and ONLY ONE thing.Portraits. Of. Women. Occassionally “street” (creepshots of women)Otherwise its boring as fuck and no one wants to see your blurry grass.
>>4366476ignore my post and do what she did and post it here

>>4366480>>4366485>>4366490That's so much the reason why i love this fucking board. Hearts out to you, brothers.
>>4366492OP has never taken a photo.
>>4366473>take a week or two and post your shit in this thread. accept this and i'll keep this thread bumping for you photo geniuses.that's most of /p/, just salty autists hating everything and rarely actually doing the thing they claim to be experts on
LMAO nothing but coping faggots in this thread. Yea sure it's just because she's a woman, yea sure it's just because she had a rolleiflex, yea sure it's just because she's dead, yea sure photography isn't "real" art.Newflash, if you have no sense of composition, you also can't identify good composition.
>>4366537>Good compositionAh, "put what you want to focus on in the middle because that's where the focusing aid is"
>>4366538this but unironically
>>4366537this is a guy who's just angry because the opinion the tastemaker prescribed them got contradicted, a college drone at best>>4366538this is a photographer, they can know what other photographers are thinking, and usually, that is "nothing"
>>4366538I can lead you to water but I can't make you drink
>>4366537>>4366542
>>4366542You can act pretentious, or you can admit that vivian maier is another case of someone taking enough random snapshits for long enough eventually producing a few dozen okay photos by accident.There is no artists mind. There is no creativity. She just snapped whatever she saw following the most pedestrian advice (center subject and sunny 16) and over 10,000 rolls, so about 12 times that many individual frames, eventually produced 10 memorable photos.
>>4366537This isn't a good composition. It's messy. The dude on the left is cut in half at the edge of frame and so is the car on the right dragging down the entire image, without those it would have actualyl been a great composition. As is, it is extremely average but a fun moment. 5/10
>>4366545Pissdrinker.
>>4366550>she has to because...uh..she just is.. okay!
>>4366554You can't even come up with a single reason why she isnt good, so yeah.
10000 rolls is crazy.I am doing a massive year long project to shoot 100 rolls and it feels tons of work.At 2 per week it would take 100 years, she must of been doing a roll per day, for almost 30 years.
>>4366550>No, she has to be good because "the experts" told me she's good!120000+ photos, inevitable that someone who knows how to operate a camera will get something good eventually just by pointing it at anything they think is interesting. you are observing how complete chaos can generate something you can accept as art.but it's just a minor public nuisance playing the numbers game
>>4366567she was mostly shooting 6x6 so less photos per roll
>>4366577Ok so then it is about the same as my project of 100 rolls of 36exp 35mm per year. 36x2=72 per week7x12=84 per weekIt’s doable but uses a ton of your spare time.
I (((wonder)))
>>4366480>If you take enough photos eventually some will be good.and yet you can't post one good one of yours. this is also as stupid a cope as saying "if you draw enough eventually one of your drawings will be good, so drawing isn't art."
>>4366592Drawing takes actual skill, unlike pointing a camera at anything that moves for 120k button presses.
How come nobody on p shoots 10k rolls of film, literally getting mogged hard here, being too poor or not motivated enough both make you inferior. This is why this women makes p so mad isn’t it.
>>4366238>be an unassuming woman going about her day who likes to take photos>have no interest in publishing, just do it for your own amusement>pass away>decades later some random faggot digs up your negatives and makes a bank on your nameThis is why I'll arrange for all my shit to be burned and keep the digital files on encrypted drives.>>4366601Getting there my nigga, I just took the tally the other day and I'm at 7800 photos with all formats combined. There's maybe one or two decent ones somewhere in there.
>>4366601She died and a relative spun this scam to make money without having to do any work lmaoShe shot 10k rolls, mostly of random garbage, died a nobody, and now her relatives are trying to scam art hipsters. That's it. And here you are white knighting for a dead woman, unknowingly defending the scam of a dead relative.
>>4366604>>4366603Seething so hard, either go shoot 10k rolls of film or admit this women has beaten you.
>>4366608She's dead bro she won't fuck you
>>4366597>>4366609still no photos posted, strange since it is so easy and its just a numbers game apparently
>>4366567I'm at just under 190 rolls for this year so far, probably 150 of that is 35mm. Could have been more but missed some events. I'm not even in my winogrand phase yet

Nice bot, always nice to remember how fucking bad she was even with curation of 120k photos.
>>4366647
a lot of these are snapshits but there are some cool ones I could see werr fun to takeI wonder how much that film must've cost though, and how could she afford it
>>4366649>>4366648not a bot, just too many idiots like you posting without anything to back it up. figured anons who don't know her body of work would like to see a selection
>>4366651
>>4366652
>>4366651>You have to post your photos to dislike snapshitsThey are snapshits, I know the tastemakers insisted you believe otherwise but art is full of scams like this.Also your ability to spam this fast makes me not want to post photos for you because this board is full of autists who check exif, filenames, and apparent locations and even fake evidence to repeatedly accuse people of fucking their pets or raping 14 year olds. Especially people who shit on autists current religion ie: street photography, fujifilm, m43.

>>4366661>>4366660I had never heard of this woman before tonight, decided to look her up on seeing this thread and the reactions in it and thought that some of her photos were interesting and certainly thought her story of taking a gajillion photos apparently just because she enjoyed it was also very relatable. I know it is hard to believe but people can independently come to the conclusion that they like things, and there's nothing wrong with that.
>>4366663>i am white knighting for snapshits by a dead woman120k photosprofessional curationand the best they got was selfiesif this shit is gold then why isn't ever other teenage girl an art great? camera expensiveness? or lack of relatives trying to make money off it?
>>4366663
>>4366665>>4366664>I find this work interesting and relatable and want to post it in a thread about the photographer>WHY ARE YOU WHITE KNIGHTING RETARDand as I said above I specifically downloaded the self portraits section of this website>https://www.vivianmaier.com/ which also contains multiple street portfolios, so its not as though she only took self portraits that's just what I picked since I enjoyed them and the OP photo was one of them

>>4366651Can you post some non selfie stuff, I can’t judge properly from mirror selfies.
>>4366672okay, last one for now.
>>4366673Actually don’t bother I just went and looked, it’s street photography, it’s always going to be boring.
female garry winogrand sure gets a lot more internet defense than male garry winogrand
>>4366681This guy sucks too, you can see exactly where Instagram selfies came from, same shit just on black and white film.
>>4366667im shooting street mostly and then some stuff with models on the side. 80% of my 35mm is double x with the rest being delta 400 and 3200 and a tiny bit of E100. for 120 its a mix of delta 400 and tri x but im going to stop using tri x because i dont like it.
>>4366473Make 1,200,000 snapshits and eventually, after 50-100 years some fag will find a couple of shots interesting because their daily life subject matter changed so much.It's the same comparison to Van Gogh, actually. Nobody liked him while he was alive, because his paintings were shit and his personality was equally shit or even worse. That's why Meier didn't make it, Van Gogh didn't make it, and that's why some autist Anon might make it in 75 years, if he hides his rolls well enough and tells his niece to open his figurine cupboard on her death bed.
>>4366674Can you point out which one you think are good?
>>4366395real?>>4366601i'm at a little over 70 rolls for the year. i do split my shooting close to evenly between film and digital but getting into the thousands of rolls/lifetime is pretty impressive.>>4366666absolutely CHECKD
i think her work is definitely interesting because of the environment she photographed, especially being an outsider artist in that time period, but I don't think you could consider her some kind of prodigy

>>4367000wow so if we take away every thots camera but one, the last camera thot will be an artist
>>4366706I like many of them for different reasons but my favorite is probably this one because of the little smirk. She knew she was going to get this shot, certainly, and must have felt good about it. Maybe she met eyes with the guy unloading the mirror and they smiled at each other as people sometimes do. Maybe she was just having a good day and happy to be shooting pictures. I don't know but I'm glad to see her happy doing something she clearly had passion for. >>4366629

>>4368960That’s the angle she is marketed at. First female artist and extensive list of artistic selfies. The rest of her work is irrelevant to the female artist part so is forgotten.
>>4368965I mean has a women ever done good street photography ever? I can’t think of any, it’s basically too dangerous for them in this day and age.
>>4368960She's the instagram girl. Selfies, reflections of herself and her shadows. She'd have an OnlyFans and PornHub accounts if she was born in 2000.
