FUSE MAGAZINE VOL. 2
October 2014 Photography allows us be anyone we want to be and to share that vision of ourselves in the most believable way. A professional, buttoned-down photo on LinkedIn. A picture that says “I’m cute and fun!” on a dating website. A wholesome photo playing with a puppy sent to our grandparents. A pouty selfie in a steamed up mirror to someone we are hoping to entice. Are you feeling dark? Or angelic? What side of ourselves do we want to present and exaggerate? Through photography, we can show others a vision that may be completely divorced from reality. Or, at the very least, that is a filtered version of reality. It allows us to trick people. In this way, photography is similar to the spirit of my favorite holiday - Halloween.
