Considerations when beginning a photographic project

Описание: THIS ESSAY: A photographer is faced with a series of aesthetic considerations when beginning a project – the decisions one makes at this stage, will shape not only the look of the work but also its conceptual depth and internal logic. Some photographers stick to one way of working throughout their lifetime…and in fact this suits galleries, because in terms of marketing, these photographers are easier to package to collectors. If one has a more eclectic approach towards one’s work, then aesthetic considerations become a tool that can be adapted to enhance chapters of one’s communication. I definitely fall into this camp – my subject over the past 40 years has remained largely constant - how Southern and particularly South Africa has transformed socially, culturally and politically. In this video, I‘ll look at eight aesthetic choices and use various of my bodies of work to illustrate the decisions that I made.

ABOUT ME: The conversations focus on topics related to different aspects of photography including: art, documentary and photojournalism. The discussions explore the personal experiences of photographers and artists and how their work reflects both their internal and external landscape. During the past 30 years I have photographed in over 50 countries for magazines including National Geographic, Time, New York Times and Newsweek. I have held solo exhibitions in New York, London and Paris and my work is showcased in private and institutional art collections around the world.
