Too long we have separated the two. No, we must integrate them.
A photographer is an artist. Artists are also photographers.
Almost everyone I know who is interested in photography has an artistic spine and bones within them. It’s simply a matter of other artists who act pretentious and try to talk down on photographers.
Photography as just another medium or media, as Aristotle said (On the Soul).
So photographers … we express our souls via the medium or media of photography?
Also—
No photograph is sacred. We can remix, reshape, glitch, filter, adapt, change, paint, sketch, or trace our photos and repurpose them as we see fit!
A type of photo “upcycling”. Photographic renewal, visual energy.
