Happy new year! Starting 2024 off with

something I don't normally do, a composite. This composition doesn't quite exist in reality, despite both the foreground and background being steps apart. I combined both which were taken minutes apart.

 

Every photographer has a limit of what they think is acceptable, a line they won't cross. This is the age old conversation that has existed since before photoshop, but has never been more relevant in the age of generative AI.

 

My stance is that anything is fine as long as it is honestly presented. What isn't acceptable is being dishonest about the nature of the image, attempting to pass it off as something it isn't.

 

I'm an artist (I like to believe so anyways), not a documentary photographer. I make images to express my love of nature and to satisfy my need to create. Hope you enjoy it.
