. . . but in terms of their conceptions of what a photograph is: is it a mirror, reflecting a portrait of the artist who made it, or a window, through which one might better know the world?\u201d<\/span><\/p>John Szarkowski (1978)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concept of Mirrors and windows is basically about either the image acting as a mirror and reflecting something back about the author in what she has chosen to photograph or a window such as a news image which tells something that is happening in another place and time or perhaps a documentary series based on a specific culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the example: Tina Barney’s work could act as both because she is photographing us a window into another culture different from our own. However, this series is also a mirror, as she is photographing her own family and friends, therefore mirroring herself in the images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is argued that “every picture is a self-portrait, or that the cameral looks both ways, meaning that by taking a certain photograph in a particular way you are automatically saying something about who you are.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 3 is going to define these terms from the point of view of the photographer. That is, if the photographer is an insider, we\u2019ll frame it as a mirror; if they\u2019re outside looking in, we\u2019ll frame it as a window. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may wish to challenge these notions<\/strong> in your responses to exercises and assignments. That\u2019s fine, as long as you use effective strategies<\/strong> and critical analysis<\/strong> to back up your point and give reasons for your methods and intentions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
