Photoshop saved my ass
I have to say it is amazing piece of software and allows us to communicate things we would otherwise find impossible. For example this is a transformation of my latest work.
The difference between I guess this and a photograph is it is very easy to see that it is a presentation image and not a photograph.
I love photography an for me its the surprise of film which excites me. This is what makes a photo a photo.
When I take digital photos and on the camera i can change the saturation and contrast of the image, is this still photography? Well yes I say because we have the ability to do this in the traditional sense when developing a film.
Now at what point does a photo become an image?
As soon as it changes the physical line work of the photo?
Does it matter or is it a bit like trying to hide the structure of a building?
Will there be a revolution against the manipulation of images, "We want an honest image". Will super models have no touch up work?
A lot of questions
........ I guess I stand on the line not knowing which way to jump.
