Let’s say that’s the difference between a good photograph and just a photograph.
photography i think still labours heavily under the pretence of truth. specially in news media.
kinda ruins it
A friend of mine showed me her wedding album. It was full of photos taken at odd angles from near ground level. She told me the photographer used this perspective in an attempt to add a sense of wonder and grandeur to the occasion.
I had mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, I had to admit I had never seen anything like it and did appreciate the artistry of some of the compositions.
But at the same time, there was this nagging suspicion I couldn’t shake that her photographer was, in fact, her cat with a GoPro strapped to its head? (And yes, it would be in character for her to do this.)
