Camera Position 173 : Position The Camera - Position The Viewer

Listen "Camera Position 173 : Position The Camera - Position The Viewer"

Episode Synopsis

When we position the camera, we are ultimately positioning the viewer of our photographs. We explore this idea using a 1757 painting by the Venetian Painter Canaletto, who often used a camera obscura to create his paintings.
Thanks to Dirk Rösler and the folks at the Large Format Photography Forum for setting these wheels in motion. Check out some of the conversations we’re having on Facebook and Flickr about photography and ideas.
