Don't fool yourself, plenty of photogs(to include many shitstains on FB/Instagram/etc. claiming to be "photographers") fancy themselves more "enlightened" than the everyday folks knocking out a regular gig.Two separate people with two different goals.
The photographer basically enjoys showing people surrounded by whatever they love to collect, carefully staged.
The author is projecting their personal opinions on guns into the images, without understanding the topic at all, while claiming to have some deeper insight into the topic.
I think the photog does a great job; I'd love to see more of his work. The writer remains uninteresting.
Years ago I was on a photo forum and and one of the other members whose sole income was derived from events/weddings asked about guns. He had always lived in the city proper and was moving out to what he called the burbs(just a smaller city maybe a twenty minute drive with traffic from his former address) and was concerned about safety. Because as everybody knows only the uneducated savages live outside the city proper. Anyhow he was asking about home protection, since he doesn't believe in carrying, but he didn't want a weapon of war and he wasn't confident he would be accurate enough with a pistol. I said that left pretty much just shotguns. He said that in the case if he ever had to use it he didn't want to be worried about having to do spackling afterwards, which should be the least of his concerns.
I told him he had only one other option, to get a super soaker and fill it with his menstrual blood and hose down the would be thief/attacker.
It was the first time I ever got a warning from an admin for being "hostile" to another member.
