  • "Manipulation in Photography" with Brian Taylor
  • Sunday, August 8, 2010 – 2pm to 4pm

  • Brian will share his fascination with exploring the boundaries of photography and its relationship with other media in a lecture illustrated with numerous images by contemporary artists. Having researched alternative processes and taunted the Photo Gods for the past 30 years, Brian hopes to initiate a lively conversation regarding what distinguishes a manipulated photograph from the traditional idea of “straight” imagery. From Ansel Adams to Anselm Kiefer, this will be a fascinating look at contemporary issues in photography, and of great interest to all photographers and collectors.

There are various kinds of nude photos; issues of censorship; finding exhibitors; model releases and so on. How Saelon's personal vision changed, from the issues of objectification of women to a mature photographer makes for a fascinating journey, and will be of benefit both to the collector as well as the photographer who is considering this classic subject.
