The photographer, I mean the professional being paid to shoot what the client wants is the most important person of all. I'd bet a $100 bucks every professional has shot material the client thinks is pure magic and the bottom line is.... whether many of you agree or not, getting paid is what some of us do for our income. And that is important. Now we may not have wet pants with excitement over the so called quality simply because the "art director" or whomever is calling the shot! So we shoot what they call even though we may not think it's the cat's meow! So can lousy photography provide a powerful document? You bet your sweet bippy in the right hands of the right advertising corporation and some brilliant art directors using the material in a manner the photographer ever thought of. But that's life! Bottom line?.. We get paid and sometimes that's all that matters. ted -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Bob W Sent: Monday, January 19, 2009 12:18 PM To: 'Leica Users Group' Subject: RE: [Leica] can lousy photography provide a powerful document? It looks like quite good photography to me. It all depends on how you define 'lousy' and 'good' and suchlike words. If the picture conveys the photographer's intentions, it's a successful picture. That, of course, doesn't imply that any viewer will actually like it. For further details, see Dehumanizing portraits?
