The final print is the finished work so at the end of the day that’s what counts. But having said that, the process is also important to me. I’m much more likely to be impressed by a splendid print which is part of a coherent body of work created by a photographer who’s mastered their chosen process, than by a splendid print created by serendipity or with a simple process. It’s the difference between, “That’s special and unique to that photographer,” and, “That’s nice, but anyone could do it.” |
