The end result will of course not be the recording. The log here will be the average. Extrapolating from your words I'm to assume that this is how you dismiss conceptual art as well Whether a photograph falls under what we call broadly conceptual or conceptual art is a very big issue because it presupposes the interpretation of what we mean by conceptual art. If by this word we mean that there is an idea about photography as a medium then every photograph is conceptual. Every photographer when creating a photo tries at the same time to give his opinion about Photography with a capital.
The word conceptual we mean the illustration of a concept without going e-commerce photo editing beyond the limits of the illustration then I am against it. Because an illustration without another element can never be considered art. In the illustration of all the concepts I have seen the photographic form and content remain divided almost coincidentally present while one should spring from the other and lead to an indivisible whole. From this I can conclude that you also exclude the message inside a photo if it wants to be part of the artistic photos. I rule out the message in any form of art considering it a very poor offering for art to be spent advertising some idea outside of it. The art itself is for me the message.
Let's change the subject Mr. You have been teaching for years to thousands of students you have even published a brochure on teaching. Could you summarize for us in a few sentences what a photography teacher should pay attention to in order to be good In all the arts and not only in photography the teacher has to talk about his own work and convey to his students the passion and love he has for the medium himself. To detect what they have in them and to use them. Even if the student disagrees with the teacher what matters is the degree of interest ingenuity and imagination that must find a way out remember that teaching is akin to acting and that he must constantly win over his audience. He must have about what he is doing.
