Take a look at these gallerys:

And then compare them to this:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/maudebardet/

Of course, both of those examples are not pure travel photography, but they are more-less documentry type of photography (including some street photos), where basically every shot is diffdifferent in that or another way. Every photo is interesting, creative, every photo is wisely selected to not duplicate much from each other.

Now hopefully You will understand what I was in mind saying that Mrs. Maude Bardet travel journalist photography is copy/paste. Same way of shooting over and over again. Completly lack of variety in anything

While offering subjective opinions, I'd say Maude's work is excellent and consistent. She's developed a style that someone would recognize in her images - no simple feat. Variety of for the sake of variety (whether in focal lengths, cameras, formats, etc.) can produce inconsistency and at worse, incoherence, unless it can be reigned in.

Yes, You right. She developed her own style (sarcasm, sorry)
She developed this "style" (random example, because all of her pictures are more-less the same)

And then she duplicate this style to basically every photo.
Can You find any form of night shots made by her? or photo focusded on detail using telephoto zoom lens whitch is basically guarantee to have "reporter's claw"? Or some high speed/movement shots? Or lets say maybe some editing using curves to be recognized with her? Just to get fade photo effect. Or maybe her own color grade style?
No, there is nothing like it. She Is just spamming with almost same photos using only Fuji XF 23/2 same way all time Only distinction in her works are angles of composition and thats it.

I think you're using rather arbitrary criteria to judge whether there is variety in her repertoire of shooting. The lack of night shots, editing curves or telephoto perspective seem like poor proxies for this kind of determination. For the sake of not diverting the thread, let's agree to disagree and move forward.

"let's agree to disagree and move forward." its way to simple.
I do give You arguments, supported my way of thinking with direct examples.
In response You gave me nothing beside words.
If You wonna convince me, give me some photo arguments pls

Hi Beatx, I appreciate your discussion, but if you still want to continue please open another thread for it as it has nothing more to do with my proposed topic. Thanks!
