Is photography about non-intervention or do we play an active role in our creating and viewing of images
from The Perceptive Photographer
In her classic essay On Photography, Susan Sontag makes the statement: Photographing is essentially an act of non-intervention. So in this week's podcast, I thought we would take a look at that quote and discuss how photographing and the viewing of photographs can be a non-intervening act. The photographs we make that are significant to us, and some of the photographs we view have a lasting impact. These things become acts and objects of the intervention. These photographs and the act of photographing can have a lasting effect on what we do and who we are. These images can become interventions in our lives that shift how we think, what we do, and what we believe.
