"The secret to good photos: Editing"
De BBC heeft een interview gepubliceerd met Magnum-fotograaf Chris Steele-Perkins.
Een fragment:
Photography is generally a question of rigorous selection. Most photographers I know would be happy with one frame from four rolls of film - that is to the extent they would seriously think it is a decent picture. It's what distinguishes photographers from each other, the interesting ones edit rigorously... work hard... are tough on their own editing.
Nog een leuk fragment:
There seems to be a new orthodoxy developing that if you take enough pictures of a boring subject from the same perspective, in some formal framework, then that boring thing becomes interesting. It doesn't.
People succumb to the idea that X has taken 25 pictures of a blank wall - this is fantastic. Really? I don't think so.
