We have quite often opened the subject of photography.
To use it or not use it !
We have had many answers. What makes me laugh is that some artists hide the fact that they have used photos to accomplish some of their work.
They think that admitting using photography would diminish in the eyes of the public their ability to create work.
Using our computers, digital files etc... make us more creative.
I have found out that Caravaggio a 16th century master was using the art of photography.
You do not believe it ?
