Art photographers are very protective of their hi-res imagery and often even low res imagery, that’s why you often see the minimal imagery reproduced in the media. Some niche NFT’s aside, art photography is typically still more physical art. I met Wolfgang a few times about 15years ago he seemed nice. I was also a photographer at the time and we actually contributed to the same book. I’m quite a technical photographer so never really understood the appeal of his imagery, it felt a little like the Tracey Emin of photography. When it comes to capturing real life I much prefer the technical approach of Martin Parr at capturing vignettes of English culture, probably more mainstream too, but I’m no art critic so what do I know.
