johnastovall Posted November 17, 2006 Share #7 Posted November 17, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just gimme straight photography for sure, dudes. Digital Photography has ended "straight photography." Here's a short review I did on a book that shows why. I think everyone involved with the digital world needs to read through it. Photography Reborn: Image Making in the Digital Era by Jonathan Lipkin, Abrams Publishing, 2005 In my last review, we looked at Szarkowski’s The Photographer’s Eye where he enunciated five elements unique to a photograph. Lipkin shows that digital photography has ended these unique elements and placed photography more in the realm of the painter than the mechanic. The image is no longer limited by ‘The thing itself’ when then thing maybe just an algorithm in a computer. The image isn’t limited to ‘The Frame’ as we can add what ever we want to the image. As David Hockey said, “Computer manipulation means it’s no longer possible to believe a photograph represents a specific object in a specific space at a specific time – to believe it is objective and ‘true’” We find here the digital work of Nancy Burson where portraits of famous beauties of the ‘50’s and ‘80’s are merged to show a composite idea of beauty for those times. The Haverhill2000 project in which the 2000 people in the village of Haverhill England were photographed and then blended into a face, which represents the village. Kyoke Date is introduced a Japanese idoru pop star who is just a digital image. Beyond this is Webbie Tookay, the first purely computer generated model to be represented by an agency and Daniel Lee's Manimals series. There is a chapter ‘The Indecisive Moment’ where many instants become one in the digital photograph. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastFashnReloaded Posted November 17, 2006 Share #8 Posted November 17, 2006 Digital Photography has ended "straight photography." . So, as I have always suspected, all of us photographers are gay. Glad to have the company! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jelderfield Posted November 17, 2006 Share #10 Posted November 17, 2006 I'd have to argue with the point that Digital Photography has ended "straight photography." Most newspapers and news agencies have strict policies about manipulation of news images. Several photographers have been fired in the last few years for any manipulation. I know, as I have worked for The New York Times and The Chicago Tribune - as a picture editor and now work as the Associated Press doing the same.

Guest stnami Posted November 17, 2006 Share #12 Posted November 17, 2006 Those are just that... guidelines.. placed in and out of context things are not as they seem..... Photography Reborn a good read though a bit narrow in perspective , too much nice content with a cliche . Blink is a lot more comprehensive Amazon.com: Blink.: Books: Editors of Phaidon Press not many get fired for content manipulation though....... the biggest game in town......................... same same but different with photos Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
