Positions and Practice 

After Photography

​T11 

7 August, 2024

Consider how your ideas around photography’s relationship with reality and truth might have changed as your practice has evolved:   

​

• Has image manipulation ever been a significant part of your practice – professional or otherwise? Have you ever questioned this? Do you have a particular stance? 

​​

• Have you ever consciously constructed an image, or a sequence of images, to portray a persuasive, positive impression, maybe market a product or build a reality you were not at ease with? Did you learn anything through that experience?     

​​

• Have you ever, as Sontag put it, "designed events to be photographed"? Have you ever been aware that your presence, with a camera, directly influenced a turn of events that might otherwise not have happened?
