*** Yes, important as a photographic method, and I don't give a shit about the viewer's benefit.Big, the fundamentally biggest possible mistake. This is way the amplifiers which designed to satisfy the demands of (faulty) engineering theories are condemned to sound dead.
*** I'm not making personal photographs for the viewer. I'm making photographs for me. If someone else likes them - that's fine. If not, that's also fine.
It was not what I meant. You are a viewer as well, and your viewing methods share the common with the rest of the viewers principles. No meter how much a composer “composes for himself†but he use the same rudiments of harmony...
*** In fact, for years, I so subverted the color in many photographs that you can't tell what is real…. The idea is to give your eyes something to "key" off of that is rendered "normal" and in the correct brightness relationships.
Yes, this is a very interesting direction (if you can handle it). Frankly speaking I should confess a sin by saying that I personally do not consider color being meaningful enough. Whatever I did “seriously’ for myself was b/w. To me, color as an expressive method, is a destructive force … (though it could be used complementary)
*** If white is rendered correctly, then your brain says that all other colors are correct.
It is correct but only if you disregard the misbalance of the color contracts. If you do take it under consideration that you have to demand the “rendering correctly†an entire gray scale ending with black. Yes, white is most critical but… white dose not exist and usually “perceived†as D-min projected to the film’s fog level.
*** But, your brain also knows that they can't be, because the color relationships and brightnesses aren't correct for the colors and this unconsiously disturbs you when you look at the print.
It is why I never was able to use colors “for myselfâ€. I just never was able to mange it at the desirable level of freedom. (There is more to it then just that) Hey, colors are is just a density!
*** If you’d like to see some photos with the distorted colors, go to…
I looked at those images, thank you. This is only confirmed what whatever photography has interesting has a b/w structure. It is very similar to looking at women naked vs. women wearing underwear. Which case create more “spiritual movement� :-)
*** The only time I worry about the viewer's benefit is when I do commercial work…. and the rest
Well, a commercial work is totally irrelevant for this discussion (the commercial customers swallow everything) but you misunderstood my phrase of “viewer benefitâ€. An amplifier could have 0.00001% of distortions. This is a fact. However, how this fact would benefit a listener …this is TOTALLY deferent issue.
