Not "addressed by photo artists", but tagged by photographers who are members of that specific site.

Anyway, a list of topics addressed by photo artist would be more than a dictionary would yield...

Nice site, lots to see and maybe get inspired by.

It reminds me that I like to visit this page as well... (p.s. I got them to add Toyo Miyatake to that list because he was missing when I first found this list).

What makes it a "serious" list?

Pieter12 · Feb 23, 2019

My list: everything, anything, and then some. First standards, now lists of subjects. This is ridiculous.

Sometimes when I feel like I am in a rut and want to explore all the world of photography has to offer, I think of all the category my work fits into.

Nice. Sounds like you might be a photographer. Post something.

Just for fun. Even that tapped the bottomless well of bitterness.

I'm sorry you're bitter. I did not detect that in any of the replies.

I've come to the conclusion that you are motivated to engage the forum by "poking the bear" repeatedly, apparently for the sheer perverse fun of it.

I think it's just seriously bad taste and judgment.

What's your problem? Don't you like the photographers and photos that were addressed by those links?

And you've trolled long enough... why not share your wonderful photos on Media?

Conclusions benchmark small minds, right?

Visit the website (lenscratch.com), click on any of the links (random e.g. perception) and see something significant about the photographers that pop up.

I dont like using "tags" to look at pictures, its too disjointed, too many are repeated in different categories.
I would much prefer that each person was listed in what ever order they choose and a brief bio of what they are about, then I could look at each photographers work.
Noticed this guys work looks interesting http://lenscratch.com/2018/02/carey-roberson-the-states-project-arkansas/ , there probably a lot more, but the format is tiresome and laborious......I particularly hate labels.

Pieter12 · Feb 24, 2019

bye bye folks

Admit it, John, you LOVE sparking discord.

I think that list is simply an extra resource, incidental result of new issue every day.

Yes, I think it's just another way to expand curiosity and possibilities.

Not sure I completely understand your perspective but I certainly do think the notion of "standards" on Photrio is a silly and authoritarian case of advocating for those "tags." you dislike.

I'd take that a bit further and mention the "art" standards of oppressive political groups. There will always be people who want to control others via authorized language and terminology (Photrio's emerging "standards"). IMO they need to be called out.
