Canon Video on Perspective

Ed Will submitted a new resource:

Canon Video on Perspective - Canon Video on 6 photographers, 1 man, and the importance of perspective

Canon-Australia produced an incredibly powerful experiment (and video) of 6 photographers each asked to individually photograph a specific man and they were each told a different story of the man. He was a violent felon, a millionaire, someone who had saved another's life, etc. That "background" shaped their perspective and thus the portfolio they created of that man.

Pretty fascinating video, nicely showing how photographers tend to photograph a person on the basis of who they think their subject is. Pretty eye-opening.

Agreed. Well done and it makes a terrific point.
