How to evaluate whether a photographer is a good photographer?

Unless you are a professional photographer, the photographer's judgment depends entirely on the viewer's subjective feelings.

From this extension, it can be said that there is no objective standard. A good photographer is using this technique to express his basic world outlook and the relationship between reality and presentation. With this foundation, the photographer's skill is not the key issue.

For example, robert frank led the new wave of documentary photography. Not many people take pictures with small cameras like him, but he thinks it's the right thing to do. For example, in Daido Moriyama, fools just take good movies. This is their attitude.

For example, Edward Weston, because of the social situation at that time, didn't want to pay attention to the big environment. He hid at home every day to shoot peppers, shells and human bodies, and studied the technology of shooting these things to the extreme. He also left his name in the history of photography. However, many people think that he is not as good as his lover Margrethe Mather. They think Margaret Mather is more talented, although she is not famous.

Therefore, unless you have the ambition to collect the whole photographic history to judge the generations, the judgment of a photographer's quality is completely subjective. The condition is that you know that the photographer has his own ideas, not to shoot for the sake of shooting.
