Candid Cameras: Mostly meat, with a little cheese
Art photography doesn't get its due. Because
everyone has a camera, most people figure taking art photos is as easy as
pointing the lens at something, uh, arty, and pushing the shutter button. We're
a bit skeptical of art photographers because we think they aren't as skilled as
someone who knows how to mix oil paints into the perfect shade of blue-green or
wield an arc welder against a chunk of steel. All photographers do is take
pictures. "We can do that," we say to ourselves when we look at an art
photo.
