It's ok to appreciate a camera fucked picture too.
The point is. If it works, it works. If it's working, that person is good at what they do.
An app adjusts and tweaks. A camera adjusts and tweaks. A photographer adjusts and tweaks. Studio equipment adjusts and tweaks.
Only one of those things makes anything work, and that's the photographer. They're good, or average, or bad. No app can fix that. Photography is a considered art.
Wanna be better and respectful? Ask a photographer what a decent fix for something you're unhappy with , is.
You can't unsuck by gatekeeping. Photos speak regardless.
