THE LIFE OF A PHOTOGRAPH

A PHOTOGRAPHER COULD

SAY THAT THEIR WORKS

ARE LIKE THEIR CHILDREN.

THEY HAVE PRIDE IN THEIR CREATIONS AND ARE OVERJOYED

WHEN THEIR WORKS DO WELL.

WHEN A PERSON FIRST PRESSES THE SHUTTER

OF A CAMERA

WHAT IS HIS OR HERS INTENTION FOR TAKING

THE PHOTOGRAPH?

EVERY PHOTOGRAPHER HAS A VIEW FOR THEIR IMAGE BUT THE CONTEXT THAT IMAGE IS USED IN

CAN COME LATER.

THE SHOT

THAT PERFECT SHOT OF AN OBJECT COULD HAVE STARTED ITS LIFE AS A FILE ON A MEMORY CARD OR INSIDE A FILM CAMERA WAITING TO BE DEVELOPED.

HOWEVER!

AFTER BEING STORED ON A COMPUTER AND

BACKED UP

IT MIGHT BECOME THE PHOTO PICKED DURING A SELECTION

PROCESS FOR ITS FUTURE PURPOSE.

THE PHOTO COULD BE ALTERED, CROPPED AND EDITED UNTIL THE PHOTOGRAPHER IS HAPPY WITH

IT.

ONCE FINISHED THE PHOTO COULD BE POSTED ONLINE, MADE INTO A PRINT FOR A PHOTO ALBUM,

SENT TO A PUBLISHER FOR A PHOTO BOOK ETC.

THE POSSIBILITIES WITH PHOTOGRAPHY ARE

ENDLESS MUCH ALIKE THE CAREER CHOICES.

A PHOTO ON SOCIAL MEDIA CAN BE REVITALISED AS A SUPPORTING IMAGE

FOR A NEWS ARTICLE OR ON AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR A SMALL COMPANY.

WE SEE PHOTOGRAPHS BEING TAKEN OUT OF THEIR ORIGINAL CONTEXTS AND REBORN AGAIN

AND AGAIN!

PHOTOGRAPHS CAN AGE OR IT COULD SURPASS TIME, IT’S THE SAD DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US

AND PHOTOGRAPHS.

NEVER THINK A PHOTOGRAPH ONLY HAS

ONE PURPOSE!

THERE ARE AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF USES FOR

THE SAME PHOTOGRAPH.

THE LIFE OF A PHOTOGRAPH

CAN BE REBORN AGAIN

AND AGAIN…
