Digitala printar
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009Jag har vid något tidigare tillfälle gnällt på bildkvaliteten på digitalt producerade utställningsfoton (och även argumenterat för den konstnärliga kicken hos snygga analoga kopior (efter att ha sett Imogen Cunninghams underbara kopior från 1930-talet)).
Joerg Colberg, som bevakar den internationella konstfotoscenen, diskuterade fenomenet häromdan:
recently talked about this with a friend of mine who has been taking photographs for thirty years now (incl. large-format). I asked him why so many photographers formerly well known for their beautiful analog prints end up with bad, oversharpened digital prints, which often even have colours bordering on the gaudy. My friend suggested it was because these photographers typically hand off the work to be done by the various professional digital labs, and they accept what they get back, thinking that that’s just as good as it gets. […] So I still don’t know where the problem is actually coming from, but this year I have noticed it a lot - and many people (photographers) have privately (or in emails) complained to me about the quality of prints in exhibitions (”Have you seen XYZ’s show? The prints are very bad”).
Läge för en revival för välgjorda analoga kopior?
