THE MISTAKE MAKES THE ART:
GLITCHPHOTOGRAPHY
Before digital photography, it was normal to see imperfections
in photos: specs of dust, glare, blur, fingerprints, or chemical
effects from the darkroom. Indeed, there were many ways
to manipulate photos right after developing them. So the
final outcome of how a photo looked during the analog
era could go in many directions.
The digital era ushered in “clean” photography.
Digital cameras reproduce amazingly clear, precise
images, generally without blemishes. While it is
a powerful method that has widened the world
of photography, it also takes away the
element of chance and surprise
that existed in the analog age.
Digital photography is highly
dependable and stable,
even for those who are
amateurs.
