Vanessa Winship had gotten very good at getting the picture without getting noticed. But unlike street and documentary photographers who strive to be invisible, Ms. Winship was not happy.
“One of the problems with this is that it allows a certain kind of passivity from the position of the viewer, and of course the viewer includes me,” Ms. Winship said. “In this context it functions in a way that allows us not to take responsibility.”
So, during a project in Turkey, she gave up the easy invisibility granted by using a 35-millimeter camera to take up a view camera, slowing down her process as she engaged in a dialogue with her subjects.
wonderful reflectional interactions…
Gorgeous picture!
Not mine but I’m sure the photographer Vanessa Winship would thank you. 😉 At least I hope so.
Interesting… 😀
Yes. I’m not exactly sure I agree with the thought I quoted but it seems that photographers must have something to say about photography. I don’t know why. 😉
I like what you say 🙂 And I like this photo 🙂
