Considering the fact that photography, as is true of modern art in general, was first and foremost born and developed in metropolitan areas, the 'belated' arrival of the newest trends in the aesthetics of photography in Estonia (and also most neighbouring countries) is not surprising.
Kui arvestada, et fotograafia, nagu modernne kunst tervikuna, on ennekõike sündinud ja arenenud metropolides, siis peaks olema mõistetav ka see ajaline “hilinemine”, millega uusimad nähtused Eesti (nagu ka enamike lähiriikide) fotograafia esteetikasse on jõudnud.
