Swedish Photographer Paul Hansen Wins Premier Photo Contest Award
Mayu Mohanna, jury member from Peru, said of Paul Hansen’s winning picture: "The strength of the pictures lies in the way it contrasts the anger and sorrow of the adults with the innocence of the children. It’s a picture I will not forget.”So who gets the Oscar for best actor, a dead child or a living pallbearer?
Photojournalism is hackwork because journalism is hackwork. Just because journalism is necessary doesn't make it art. Just because bureaucracy is necessary doesn't make it profound.
Zero Dark 30 has the morality of art. The image above is fundamentally corrupt, reducing emotion to artifice, rather than using artifice to communicate emotion.
The same misunderstanding, coming from the opposite direction in Bill Viola below.
