What is Photography?
The second brief is all about the basic concepts, principles and theories surrounding the question 'What is Photography?'. Throughout this brief we are encouraged to develop our critical thinking skills and the development of our contextual understanding through reading texts. Corresponding to our research findings of the work of others, will inform our creative processes and develop our critical thinking skills. This project was given to us on the 28th of September with formative assessments during weekly seminars, crits and peer reviews on the 29th of October.
Of the text given, Inside/Out written by Abigail Solomon-Godeau in 1994, I was bombarded with all these words that I didn't recognise. After reading it and realising that my brief title has a point, explains that Photography really is more than just a picture. Photographs should be valued for their meaning and context that they try to represent. Photographer Diane Arbus, photographs 'deviant and marginal people with surreal/ ugly normalities'. Outsiders would engage with her and her images as a voyeur, 'deeply morbid connoisseur of the horrible'; basically meaning that viewers would judge her work in the most unpleasant manners, such as freaks.
