I’ve observed various trends: blurry photos, Dutch angles, paparazzi-style flashes, and shutter drags. If photography is a language, then each tactic we use is like a word or phrase. The real question is, “What kind of leader am I?” Or, what is the communicative intent of my art?
By recognizing the theatrical nature of status in art, we may be better able to come to terms with the reality that life and marketing also operate in a similar way.
