Editing photos is necessary, for example, for the needs of online publications. When we reach for a camera, an image has already formed in our head – our vision of what we perceive. The camera does not interpret the image, but saves it as it is (with details unnoticed by us). And here post-production is a great gift, it allows you to change the image according to what we remember. The changed image still contains our emotions, it takes us to the moment when we took the picture.
Post-production in which photography is only a canvas for a new image is a completely separate topic.
Best regards.
Sometimes we need new terms. There is now digital art that uses photographs, but is not strictly photography. Creativity and art are subjective.
I edit my photographs. Most often by cropping. Not everything I see is in the ratio seen by the camera – some photos are square, some panoramic.
So, is the question ‘when does it stop being a photograph and start being another art form?’ I think I often cross that line. I’m not sure how important that is to me. Thanks for the interesting post. Lots to think about.
