“The photographic image has great possibilities. The magical photograph attempts to go beyond the immediate context of the recorded experience into the realm of the indefinable.

“Photography has an amazing ability to capture the fine detail of surface textures. But far too often these intricate patterns are loved by the photographer for their own sake. The richness of texture fascinates the eye and the photographer falls easy prey to such quickly-caught complexities. The designs mean nothing in themselves and are merely pictorially attractive abstractions. A central problem in contemporary photography is to bring about a wider significance in purely textural imagery.” MeanProblemEyeFallEasyAbilityDesignFinePhotographyPhotographerSakePatternsCaughtDetailsSurfaceContemporaryAttractiveComplexitySignificanceCaptureAbstractionPreyImageryRichnessTextureIntricate Author:Arthur Tress
