SEEKING A BALANCE BETWEEN FORM AND CONTENT Alise Tīfentāle
Photography belongs to the realm of art, since it concerns the image and questions of composition, light and shade, etc. At the same time, it's a very fine blend of optics, physics, chemistry, etc. Does an artistically valuable photograph come about only when a high level of technical knowledge is combined in one individual with an education in art (or at least natural artistic talent)? Or is it sufficient to have a perfect understanding of the technical side of photography? Or perhaps the secret of an outstanding work of art should not be sought in the traditional qualities of a "good photograph"?
