Nothing but bullshit: Marc Adamus & Commercial Fine Art |
Commercial Fine Art is the latest attempt by scam artist Marc Adamus to cement his dominance in the photography world. Like Lord Sauron in Lord of the Rings, Marc Adamus wills to dominate all photography.
And he’s not satisifed with a comfortable career that helps him support a wife and kids. That was never Marc’s intention. Marc desperately desires to be famous and well-known. He’s wanted it for years. People who knew him in high school knows that he was always a fame-lusting shit.
In many ways, Commercial Fine Art is a culmination of Marc’s efforts to dominate photography. It is a project designed to cast Marc Adamus in a respectable light. However, it fails in many ways:
1. It fails to inspire confidence in prospective clients
With the same “me-too” bullshit as so many other sites, the bogus “virtual galleries” that are instantly recognizable as the work of scam artists, and the trumpeting, egotistical delivery, it comes across as an entirely boastful, prideful, and deceitful website. To say nothing of the names that are featured on there.
2. The blog is an utter failure
The Commercial Fine Art blog is an utter failure. Random people will not be attracted to Marc Adamus’ pathetic rationizations for how Photoshop is part of today’s workflow, and no one will be impressed by the fact that the members are simply commenting on each other posts constantly. Blogs are supposed to feature quality material that is exciting to read, not a bunch of re-hashed, self-serving bullshit.
3. Too many members
Apart from the usual, hoary lies we’ve all heard before, like “some of the best photographers in the world”, and so forth, there are too many members on Commercial Fine Art. It’s impossible to keep the operation pointed in a single, focused direction when Marc and whoever else administers it picks up turkeys from all around the world.
4. The proven Marc Adamus kiss of death
Marc Adamus is a proven killer for any website or blog. Period. Every site he has joined has eventually experienced losses in readership and a long-term trend toward failure. The inclusion of Marc Adamus indicates a preference for bullshit and lying over honesty and real material. Just ask Mountain Trail Photo. They actually ended up closing their blog down entirely after Marc’s egotistical, lie & bullshit filled post that attracted negative reactions from all over the Internet.
5. No actual functionality on the site.
In the end, Commercial Fine Art is no more than one more self-aggrandizing blog. There is no real functionality here. Want to actually buy a print? You’ll still have to go thru the old song & dance of contacting whichever scam artist you want to buy it from. Worse yet, Commercial Fine Art lied and said that they didn’t include any functionality because they “custom prepare” all orders. Yeah, right.
These are just a sample of the many problems with Commercial Fine Art. None should be a surprise. A LIE can only be so big and complicated before it starts to fall apart from its own weight. No amount of window dressing, fancy graphics, or bullshit will sustain lies and dubious statements forever. The public eventually sees right through it. Your best bet is to purchase fine art from a REAL photographer who can give you the service and selection you deserve, without the self-serving bullshit and distasteful, insulting LIES you’ll get from most of the Commercial Fine Art membership. Our verdict: this is a SCAM; pass on this.
