Drijfveren/KenmerkenWalker Evans

● Elke foto in essentie een document

● Dient als spiegel van de werkelijkheid

● Dualiteit:

– Impressie van de werkelijkheid

– Object van estetische waarde

● “The real thing that I’m talking about has purity and a certain severity, rigor, or simplicity, directness, clarity, and it is without artistic pretension in a self-conscious sense of the word.”

Richard Avedon

● Portretten als weergave van persoonlijkheid en ziel

● Confrontatie met onze vooroordelen en verwachtingen

● Niet stereotiep of romantisch

● Geen feit maar opinie

● Interactie fotograaf en geportretteerde

● “There is no such thing as inaccuracy in a photograph. All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth.”
