Digislugs cope hard about their canikony’s autofocus, megapixels, sharpness, zoom lens, and auto modes, but notice they aren’t posting about art because all the good art is shot on film, especially sheet film. Digital is mostly for commercial photography, magazine snaps, and low tier diversityslop art. And of course, unimportant snapshots that might as well be AI - typically found on youtube and instagram.

Kodak isn’t expanding their consumer film offerings for no reason. Pixel peeping sharpness and noise is getting old. 240fps shooting is passe. If film is so much worse why is it bigger than ever now when anyone can afford a nice FF digital and the world's supply of functioning film cameras is running low? Why are some of the few film cameras still in production leicas, medium format tech cameras, and 4x5 view cameras? Why are all the best selling digital cameras casual PnS?
Because film is synonymous with art, and digital is synonymous with snapshots.

Soth, Eich, Crewdson, even the up and coming like Harry Wright and Paloma Dooley. All film.
Ken Griffith, Jon Nicholson, Nick Carver, Egg Still-life Anon, Emily Rinard, Alex Burke, Jules Frazier, Bryan Schutmaat, and literally every 20th century photographer - all film.

Who shoots digital again? Ken Rockwell? His serious (also bad) work is on film. Even low tier youtubers like Jared Polin do their serious work on film. So really, who is using digital for serious artwork? If you can name one, they probably do better work on film.

If you aren’t shooting 6x6cm at least, and making real prints, you will never be taken seriously as an artist. You’re competing with and will be mistaken for AI. Sorry!
Have fun competing with @grok for likes and follows whenever you aren’t being the G.W.A.C. at some suckers wedding
FilmGODS will continue defining art photography in your absence

You didn't answer OP.

He did
There are no serious art photographers who primarily use digital for their "real" work. None. And now, there never will be.

Notice the absence of counter argument. Would have been easy, just post 1 digital fine art photographer you enjoy. But, digital photographers don't engage with art.
>>
>>4520536
Every time I look for digital "fine art" photography its some bullshit like a mixed race woman taking photos of poor people and talking about how she’s a mixed race woman

>>4520539
Nevermind he referenced 15 male fine art photographers using film and you /pol/ autist know of 0 artist total

Refugees not welcome. Expand ICE. Fuck palestine.

Being a gay half mexican woman is not sufficient to deserve being in a museum.

>Fuck palestine
I see what the priority is.
>>
>>4520653
Any pro palestine break from israel involves refugees and gibs. Its far better to let bibi cook and then abandon him entirely.
>>
>>4520656
>and then abandon him entirely
You say that as though it's a viable option.

>Who shoots digital again?
Ironically, several of the names you listed
