Photography And Artwork
How much PhotoShop work can be done to an image and still have it considered “photography”?
I would like to know the boundary between “photography” and “digital artwork.” I know that photojournalists are held to high standards and touch-up work can be a big no-no, and I know that photographers should strive to get the perfect shot with their camera, but is color and contrast enhancing generally acceptable? Also, does it matter to anyone (i.e. contests etc?)
My opinion: none. When you begin editing, it’s not “your” photo anymore. The exposure, contrast, tones, anything really are not as you took them. By editing, you made it the computer’s work. The picture is as the computer made it. I don’t even approve of noise removal. When you do that, you get rid of the memory of under which conditions the photo was taken. Every aspect of the original photograph is you. When you edit, you slowly remove your identity from the picture.

On Photography $81.25 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles On Photography is a 1977 collection of essays by Susan Sontag. It originally appeared as a series of essays in the New York Review of Books between 1973 and 1977. In the book, Sontag expresses her views on the history and presentday role of photography in capitalist societies as of the 1970s. Sontag discusses many examples of modern photography. Among these, she contrasts Diane Arbuss work with that of Depressionera documentary photography commissioned by the Farm Security Administration. She also explores the history of American photography in relation to the idealistic notions of America put forth by Walt Whitman and traces these ideas through to the increasingly cynical aesthetic notions of the 1970s, particularly in relation to Arbus and Andy Warhol. Author: Miller, Frederic P./ Vandome, Agnes F./ McBrewster, John Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 104 Publication Date: 2010/12/29 Language: English Dimensions: 6.00 x 9.02 x 0.25 inches |
