Responsibility and Truth in Photography | Conscientious Photography Magazine

Responsibility and Truth in Photography | Conscientious Photography Magazine | Photography | Scoop.it
The photographer’s responsibility is not to present us with the Truth. Her/his responsibility instead is to present us with a truth that, crucially, will make us re-examine (not: confirm) our own. That is why or how photography can be art. And if it’s done well, then we have good photographic art. But the “good” doesn’t come out of what we want. Instead, it comes out of what we are made to experience, whether we like it or not.

'Women, Children and Loitering Men': A Glimpse at Manchester's Slums in the 1960s - Feature Shoot

'Women, Children and Loitering Men': A Glimpse at Manchester's Slums in the 1960s - Feature Shoot | Photography | Scoop.it
The streets of the Manchester slums, in which children played on concrete roads and their parents watched as terraced homes were razed to the ground in favor of new developments, became in the 1960s and two decades following like a home away from home for British street photographer Shirley Baker (1932-2014), whose middle class family owned a furniture store in Salford.

Records of life - Lookfilter.com | Photography | Scoop.it

Looking at Anders’ photographs remind of old Super 8 films of parties, weddings and family holidays, remind of proud parent’s taping the first steps, the first words of their children. Even though the images can’t be compared with those old vintage movies, we all know, in their style and aesthetics they have the same power: to show life as simple, intimate and beautiful as it is. Johansson manages to become part of the scene in front of him. His images document and record, but not from a distance. Without being close ups in a technical way Anders’ works are close ups of the life in front of his camera.

Robert Capa a-t-il paniqué durant le D-Day ? | Photography | Scoop.it
Il est probable que Robert Capa n'ait pas pris plus de 11 photos à Omaha Beach le 6 juin 1944, ce qui est déjà héroïque. Il ne les a pas truquées, pas retouchées. Et il reste un immense photoreporter.

Quick Tip: Focal Length and Distortion

Quick Tip: Focal Length and Distortion | Photography | Scoop.it
The other day I was out with some friends, and I also brought my Fuji X-T1 and 18-55mm lens along for the ride.
hpc's insight:

My comment on the site.


"The title of this post could have been "Perspective" rather than "Focal Length and Distortion" as there is no relationship between the lens focal length and the perspective distortion,


Perspective distortion depends only of the point of view.


In the above example, if the perspective distortion is much less in the 55mm (about 85 mm full frame equivalent) picture than in the 24 mm (about 35 mm full frame equivalent) picture, this is only due to the fact that the distance between the camera and the glass was more important for the 55mm picture.


As, you need to increase the distance to the subject as you increase the focal length, if you want to maintain the size of the subject in the image, there is often a confusion."

Interview with photographer Steve McCurry - Designboom

Interview with photographer Steve McCurry - Designboom | Photography | Scoop.it


 I look at my surroundings and see what is different and special about the place. I want to examine, explore and see what stands out; it doesn’t always have to be human. It can be a crack on the sidewalk or an animal playing. It’s the appreciation for that moment in time and appreciation for the planet.

Philip-­Lorca diCorcia: Reflections on 'Streetwork' 1993-­1997 | ASX | Photography | Scoop.it

The elements, which call into question the normal relationship of appearance to truth in photography, are, for most artists of my generation, tools to enrich the experience of the work rather than ends in themselves. If anyone were to tell me that what interests them most about my work is the questioning of the norms of photography, I would answer that they had missed the point. ...
