though i understand that fashion photographers use other artist's work as starting off points for their own projects, it is ridiculous that people are receiving accolades and enormous fees for blatantly stealing other people's images. contemporary photography has struggled to become accepted as a true fine art, and i find it appalling that these strides have lead to thoughtless photography depicting lame hipsters doing drugs and prancing around naked. find a unique point of view and stop stealing!
