Rob Morgan Is A Curious Person Question 75 // Is Photography Binary? (feat. Lucas Botz)
Man, whether or not you consider yourself a photographer, photography is engrained into our everyday lives. Now, every one of us has a quality camera in our pockets at all times and because of that, I’ve been thinking a lot about the Art & Ethics of it lately.
Is it appropriate to be taking selfies at places like memorials or protests? Is it appropriate to film strangers on the street any time we want? Is there a way to take a photo while still staying in the moment? Can cameras be a tool for social justice? What’s the difference between a pro and an amateur photographer? Is there a benefit to shooting film in the digital age?
I have a ton of questions but – like most things in life – I have a feeling that the answers… if there are any… won’t be binary.
Join me as I sit down with professional photographer, Lucas Botz, over coffee as we talk about all this and more.
