I know exactly what you mean even though I basically disagree. While in some pictures, one can really "tell" by picking up on some unconscious "artifacts" or patterns. Uncanny valley stuff. On the other hand most are just too good, which I egocentrically assume is what you also mean. (or at least it makes sense from my perspective)

This leads me to believe that a lot of people may share your view and thus steer the upcoming popular visual styles into the opposite directions (the pendulum). Maybe more abstract / gritty / grunge / minimalist or messy. I've seen a similar development in music and it steered the popular audience to the stoner rock genre for a while, simply for being the opposite of the currently popular in multiple ways.

Good for Ilford, I bet. Film in the '20s is in a great place to lean into the trend.
