Arles Photographic Encounters 2024 : "I press on the shutter, so I am a photographer..."
The annual big circus is now open. If we make an exception for a few renowned photographers - Mary Ellen Mark, Stephane Duroy, Stephen Shames, Lee Friedlandler and certainly a few more ! - it’s the kingdom of self-satisfaction, navel gazing and stupidity… Please, stop thinking that you’re a photographer - even worth, an artist ? - just because you press the shutter of any camera. PLEASE !
