Amazing article on the way in which context affects one’s expectations of a photographs meaning. In this article a photographer had strangers pose together in intimate poses challenging peoples expectations of not only how people are supposed to act, but the way in which a photograph can be interpreted. Is it ethical for this photographer to mislead people even if it is not a negative manner?
