As photographers we often photograph things that others
created. Be it a bridge, building or statue just to name a
few. The designer of the item in question may or may not have had a
creative motivation or inspiration. A sculptor would most
definitely qualify as an artist, but perhaps a bridge designer might be
motivated more by structural demands than creative ones. As
photographers we have a choice, we can take a documentary photograph or one
that is motivated by our artistic vision.
This past weekend I was doing a little exploration and came
across this graffiti. I took a few straight shots, but after that I
decided to do an in camera multiple exposure refocusing on the teeth between
each shot as I zoomed in. In my opinion, this allows me to capture my
interpretation of this art work rather than just reproducing someone else’s on
a different medium.
