I think there are some very good photographers that will be let down by their inability to express themselves verbally, equally I suspect that the reverse is true. I shall look at for some and pass them over.JSUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834926219948734598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243258284239690090.post-91576863834424275472012-08-08T10:46:31.058+01:002012-08-08T10:46:31.058+01:00Do you think it depends on the type of statement t...Do you think it depends on the type of statement though?

I absolutely do believe that words add something. Eileen did some work with text inside the frame and there are a lot who have done that and with great effect. However artist's statements are directional. I have and still do veer away from adding titles to individual images, but I find having the artist statement regarding the intent behind a series quite important I think (I didn't think so before). I do find that I want to interpret for myself, but I think that the pictures AND the statement are two parts of the whole and combined bring the narrative to a more finely honed point.JSUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834926219948734598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243258284239690090.post-62345351636658495072012-08-08T09:15:56.189+01:002012-08-08T09:15:56.189+01:00I keep wondering if this is more to do with 'f...I keep wondering if this is more to do with 'familiarity breeds contempt' than 'cliche'. There is the issue though of how emotionality can be expressed. Do you think this is when words add something. Was thinking as well about artists' statements on series and how this affects perceptions (something I want to consider in more detail).<br /><br />CatherineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
