As a photographer I have taken a picture not realising that somthing incidental to me became far more influential to viewers in the final image. I am not sure this in any way devalues the artist as any artist wants to produce some thing that provokes a reaction perhaps they may just be lucky. Perhpas if one lucky/accidental image propelled them to fame and fortune would they be considered to be a great artist or a lucky one and would that then in some way affect the artist?

If so, what value does this place on the intentions of the creator of the work - the author? Can ‘Art’ be accidental then?

While an artist may originally have started out with a paint brush and paint as we a lot of things in our lives today times move on. It is the image that is artistic not how it was created.

]]> Comment on Photography and the Law by Jane King http://richardjeffery.com/blog/2009/04/photography-and-the-law/comment-page-1/#comment-8 Jane King Sun, 12 Apr 2009 12:00:30 +0000 http://richardjeffery.com/blog/?p=234#comment-8 All very thought provoking! These articles seem to fall into two camps: the first telling us that photographers need to adhere to the law of the land, even when these laws are either extremely complicated or ambiguous (as in the case of the London Underground). The second point raised in the other articles deals with the issues of ethics in the subsequent use of the photographs, or sculptures. Clearly the photographer who took the picture of the now infamous document outside 10 Downing Street wasn’t outside the law, but I would question the ethics of publishing it. The photographer in Cornwall must have realized that her photomontage of second homes would provide an open invitation to burglars when displayed in a public place, so how can the police be criticised for removing it? I think the most difficult decision was what should happen to the sculpture made by the prisoner. Surely the problem was not that it was displayed in a public place, but that the artist was identified. This showed insensitivity towards people affected by his crime and, in identifying him, did it add to anyone else’s enjoyment of the piece? All very thought provoking!
