Photography and Solipsism
|
We normally think of photography as recording a fixed, objective view of the world around us. In the art world this apparent common sense was punctured decades back, and we understand that perceptual and emotional variables are very much a part of what the camera records. Brown argues that the photo-grapher's own identity may be so wrapped up in this that the self becomes the world in which the images exist.
