I've already heard about Besher and Sander in the "Art of Germany".
I liked Turmashon's photos and really liked the photos from the crime scene of the beginning of the century. It was beautifully done in the finale, when they showed all the photos in the series and finished with something they hadn't seen
before... It's a bit boring so far, I'm looking forward to hearing about specific photographers and their work.
Most photographers are surprised, they all bother so much, for example, they shoot without light, so that they can add light on the computer later, or they set the car up to a centimeter, or they add a fire hydrant from another photo, or they add the wrong size and throw everything out, or they work for two years and take two pictures, or insert a turn in the road under another the angle...And for what? It's not particularly noticeable on the result, and in general the result is not particularly impressive. And so are almost all the photos. Much ado about nothing is the leitmotif of the episode simply.
Overall, the series is much more boring than I expected. I was even a little disappointed in photography, I always thought it was interesting to me.
I can't stand people like Eggleston. If all this is so burdensome to you, why did you enter this profession and why did you seek a position and fame? If everything is so disgusting to you, why even agree to an interview to talk such nonsense? "I've already answered this question, and my answer hasn't changed" -- dude, wouldn't it be easier to repeat the answer and give a specific link to the previous one? Why this show-off? You are not the navel of the earth, not all people hang on your every word. The words are paid, you might think.
