Abstract (2. Language):
The development of an indigenous photographic aesthetic was the result of four factors: our
changing assumptions about the nature or range of subjects that could (or should) be
photographed, advances in camera technology and the light-sensitivity of emulsions which
expanded the range of scenes and events it was possible to record in photographs, changes
in our ideas about the desirable arrangement of elements (composition) – and the
interaction of these three. This brief essay will suggest that these factors eventually led to
the idea that a successful photograph depends on the active (act of) contribution by the
medium.
