DISPERSE
After a week of posting images and tags I wanted to share my thoughts behind my process.
What happens when we put images into tags?
What does this do to our reflection or our interpretation of the image?
We constantly do this nowadays though in relation to online imagery with search functions and hashtags. Do we compromise the impact of the image by doing this?
Do we then create a singular definition for something that has the ability to say more?
I personally face these questions when working as a photo editor and so decided to incorporate it into my selection.
Thanks to everyone for their wonderful submissions!
