Subject: [Leica] OT: "Directed Photography" (ie. phoney journalism) article URL
With all this talk recently about staged set-ups passed off
as photojournalism, the following (v.long) article by John Mraz
may be of interest:
"What's documentary about photography"
<http://www.zonezero.com/magazine/articles/mraz/mraz01.html>
FWIW a bit too waffly and ArtSchool for my taste, but an interesting
overview nevertheless. On "part 4" there are also background details
on Ruth Orkin's faked (or should I say "hoax") "An American Girl in
Italy 1950".
Regds,
