Post modern Impressionist photography
Impressionism; "a style characterized by a concern with depicting the visual impression of the moment, especially in terms of the shifting effect of light and color".
The name of the style derives from the title of a Claude Monet work, Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise), which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satirical 1874 review. The name was originally meant as a derogatory term, but it was soon adopted by the painters, and by 1877 they were using it as an identifier of their style and their exhibitions.
The Post-Impressionists rejected Impressionism's concern with the spontaneous and naturalistic rendering of light and color. Instead they favored an emphasis on more symbolic content, formal order and structure. Similar to the Impressionists, however, they stressed the artificiality of the picture.
However, we photographers are obsessed with our megapixels in our pursuit to recreate the reality of a scene instead of creating images.
