We are entering the fall season (October 2021) with more apprehension that we were expecting to have few months ago. Yes, many things in this world seem to finally be set on the positive way but many others are waiting to be addressed after the sanitary world crisis. For example, even if travelling is now partially available, we are far from the previous recent era of easy multiple destinations at low rates and open possibilities. Certain parts of the planet are still almost "sealed" and many people fear the uncertainty of the foreign health conditions.
Photography also reflects about that unpredictable future. For one, candid photography has become more difficult to realize and defiance is shared by the population as by the different authorities. The place for spontaneity has been replaced by a general skepticism again photographers, and those who want to be seen, want it only to their selected own angle of view. For sure the "selfie-planet" have not vanished in a glimpse of the eye, but plasticity has taken the place of ingenuity.
It is not hard to say that something is missing in the present photographic world such as its originality, its impact, its disturbance. What we are seeing today is picture product that have never been so predictable to match the suppose general expectation and part of the responsibility of this phenomenon should be assumed by the different plate-forms that are diffusing the photographic content. Nobody want to derange, and everybody want to be "liked". Hopefully, photography, in the past, was able to escape sometimes and in some ways the boring diktat of the general rule of beloved.
So, what is pending ahead for the photographers? We hope a better open-mindedness from our fellow people into the context of their surrounding world assorted with curiosity and desire to experiment instead of repeating the same preconceived ideas about life and its universe. Let's hope of this for our own photographic creative sake!
