Perception
I am so proud of this photo, but it is also the one image I have that taught me the responsibility I, as a photographer have.
What do you see?
I am deliberately not going to guide you, because I would like your help! What does this image tell you upon first look?
If I add an editorial to it, it or sell the image to a journalist he will use it to his dogmatic view. Is the piece pro or anti dogs because he can guide your perception which ever way he wishes.
I as an amateur photographer could use this image and probably sell it, but I would have no control over what or how it could be used.
I have several profiles such as RsPictorial, will get you to me on all the social media platforms or you can buy my photos at Picfair or Foap but I don’t want this photo to be misused.
I am not averse to getting paid for a decent photo, but I am no Paparazzo, I want my images to be used as truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth as I know it.
As a Photographer I have a responsibility, to myself, My integrity as a photographer is how I intend to build a brand that people trust. I want RsPictorial to be something that you come to know as something you would willingly recommend knowing I will not sell you down the river, because i have that money shot, of someone in a compromising position unless it is the total truth. My shots play with perception and abstraction but the ones that contain people of other animalia, will be honest.
for instance these two beauties, you may be pro or anti Falconry but you cannot but fail to appreciate the beauty of these two wonderful predators being taught to hunt, and I am told they are effective.
