Featureshoot's "Emerging Photographers"

I'm going to burn for saying this....but

On my Twitter feed I've been getting these posts about Emerging Photographers Finalists and a sampling of their work. I gag each time one comes up. Most of these images I would not be in any shape or form showing publicly. Most would have gone in the recycle bin.

I realize this isn't my photography genre....and I clearly don't have the vision to appreciate their talent. Ugh.

anyway I finally unfollowed #Featureshoot so I don't have to see any more of this....

Their instagram is quite a mixed bunch but I think it sort of leans towards "contemporary photography" (with a sprinkling of photo manipulations and some random stuff). By contemporary I mean colour graded/desaturated shots of the less interesting side of a small town gas station/body shop.

Rather worryingly I have been spending time looking at photography as art type websites over the last year and I think I may be starting to like contemporary.

^^ oh no! It's definitely a different vision
