A photograph is:  total reproduction of reality

An image is:  Mood, feeling, interpretation

​

What makes a photograph an image?

 

The starting point for the creation of images is the perception of something that the author feels

- the concern

- the emotion

- of being touched

left behind, as well as the desire to capture the experience.(U. Bischof in “Every photograph is an image”, catalog of the Siemens photo collection. Source of supply )

​

My path to the picture?

I'm still looking, but I think

-Avoiding photographic details

- Avoidance of documentation, e.g. through alienation

- Emphasis on lighting

- get very close to the motif - in both senses of the word
