What? Since when is a film developer an artist?

If he would've taken the photos himself and then did the post-processing... fine. But not like this.

I'm reading this page: https://www.apolloremastered.com/shop/p/s65-30427 and it doesn't even mention the original photographer.

Developing and printing photographs absolutley is an art form. Many books on developing and printing are quick to point out that Ansel Adams was celebrated more for what he did in the dark room than for the subject matter or composition.

A number of these shots are composites from multiple source images.

Photo editing is an art and a technical skill all on its own. A print with a separate photographer and editor has two artists, not one.
