Luminous Landscape contributor Alain Briot has a very interesting new article called “Just Say Yes”, all about fine art photography and the thorny issue of digital manipulation.

” There is a certain percentage of the public who believes that fine art photographs must represent reality.  There are people who do not know that there are differences between what they see and what the camera captures.  Finally, there are individuals who do not understand that a photograph is a two dimensional representation of reality and not reality itself because reality is far more complex, three-dimensional and perceived by us through five senses and not just one. Some people are willing to change their minds when these things are explained to them.  Others have their minds made up and do not want to be bothered by the facts.  Those are the ones that I am referring to in this essay.  “
