I wrote in an earlier article about "I don't look at the photos I take as soon as possible".
Today, we're going to tell you why.
It's because I wanted to do so, but at the bottom of it all, I want to approach the "something" that time makes.
My favorite artist, Wolfgang Tillmans, describes his approach to digital photography in Neue Welt, his first book of work since moving from film to digital in earnest. …
- 1.Do not look at the display on the back of the camera after shooting.
- Do not develop the image immediately. You'll be judged weeks or months from now. He says, "The further away you are from the moment you capture the image, the more you can detach yourself from your desires and hopes.
In a conversation with Yoichi Ochiai, the photographer Yoshiyuki Okuyama pointed out the effects of "the time between shooting and developing on film" in much the same way as Tillmans.
Anyone who has ever shot on film will be able to relate to this at least a little bit.
It's as if the digital photo you've just taken isn't quite photographic enough yet.
It's like a "love letter in the middle of the night", if you can call it a feeling that it still has too much heat.
On the other hand, there is a saying, "Strike while the iron is hot," and of course, there is no such thing as a right or wrong answer.
I've been working on my work for the past year or so with a basic rule of "no development for one month".
Of course, when I'm shooting for work or acquiring materials, I develop them according to the deadline.
