Visual ideas combined with technology combined with personal interpretation equals photography. Each must hold it's own; if it doesn't, the thing collapses.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The mission of photography is to explain man to man and each to himself. And that is the most complicated thing on earth.
Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.
I've always believed that photography is a way to shape human perception.
Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.
When I read something, I picture that scene in that detail. That becomes very similar to composing a photo in real life.
Photography has always been about documentary, the depiction of the instant, a moment, sometimes a place. Each project is somehow an experimentation of a specific context or a character.
Photography is pretty simple stuff. You just react to what you see, and take many, many pictures.
But, I would always be thinking of how pictures are constructed and colour, how to use it, I mean you're using it for constructing, makes you think about it, the place did as well.
Photography is a major force in explaining man to man.
I've always thought photography is not so much of an art form but a way of communicating and passing on information.
