A great way to discover new talented photographer, bravo and merci
there is really thin line between the languages photographers decide to use to communicate the message in their work. In case of Pawel Jaszczuk`s photography, sensation dominates over sensitivity. Is it reportage? I don`t think so, it does not touch any fair point for reference to understand situations exposed by him. Leaving empty and unfulfilled but simple question... so what ? Does he has some personal moral problems? I mean common... Antoine D`Agata is fair by giving a solid background for the body of his work, and what is this? Propaganda street photography? Snapshots in extreme situations? ...
...continue from my previous comment. As far as I know, remember, learned and no doubts appreciate the art of photography, if fact that like no other artistic medium it requires from the artist a great sense of objectivity while keeping the moral aspect on a front line, and this is what makes a great photography a challenge. In my own photographic experience I had situations when reality was calling for a brilliant shot at the cost of shameless lack of photographer ethics. Always in such situation there is no question and no doubt... camera goes to the pocket. I would really like to know how deep Mr. Jaszczuk knowledge and consciousness of Japanese society goes to give him a rights of such series as " sleeping train " Bloody hell! What a shameless lack of ethics, and what a shallow point of view!
Like any form of art, photography is open to multiple interpretations which are numerous and depend on
one's own perspective. I do not make judgements nor have expectations of how I assume or hope people
will perceive my photography. It's entirely up to them.
by being out in public, you allow yourself to be photographed.
