We all react differently to images, but how do we react to the same image processed in differing ways? There is in my ‘book’, no right or wrong. It is about what the Artist wants to portray. But sometimes the ‘choice’ has to be left to the viewer and simply wishing to stimulate questions is never a bad thing.
And why do we find it so difficult to label a Photographer as an ‘Artist’? In the digital age there seems to be a movement that says that processing images is wrong. I challenge this view emphatically. Here I have depicted Vicki in three ways and I could go on almost indefinitely, but I know what I wished to project about her, which may not be what the viewer sees, so presenting her in different ways surely stimulates thought about how we all see the world?
