Seeing as a British photographer by the name of Suze Randall has been shooting for magazines such as Playboy, Penthouse, and Hustler since the 70s and that Paul seems to be going for more of the 'expert' label than the 'semi-retired guy from Europe' label, I guess I just felt that it was reasonable to assume that he would be aware of the fact that Suze has a daughter named Holly who has been shooting for 10 or so years, has a few sites which can be categorized as falling under the realm of his purported expertise, and who's work has appeared in the magazines that he continues to this day to regard as being the gold standards of an industry in which he knows more about everything than almost anyone else. Silly me. I guess I'm the one that's been taking all those crazy pills.

You're spot on with the Holly Randal being the daughter. I should of realised she had training from the top levels. Silly of me. Makes it even more obvious why she was out of the reach of so many.
You took a lot of typing to say that. Shap will be telling you off.

Art is not static nor are the wants and needs of the masses. Those facts have been magnified by the rate at which technology has evolved over the past 10-15 years, especially in a field such as photography and in the mediums in which it is consumed. I seriously doubt that any of the well respected photographers who do sets in such a way, maybe like a Hegre, are doing so just so they can finish quickly and call it a day. It is clearly an intentional style that probably has more to do with how they have adapted to the new technologies or because of influences from fashion photography. Who knows. It is what it is and many people like that style.
