Tosta. There are lots of years that one wonders if they should or should not take scenes like this (see for example the position of the poor Ando Gilardi). I think it's reportage and serves to make people think.
Hello
Angell Tosta. Sono tantissimi anni che ci si chiede se si debba o no riprendere scene come questa (vedi ad esempio la posizione del povero Ando Gilardi). Secondo me è reportage e serve a far riflettere.

Honestly I do not agree with the famous poem by Ando Girardi, also I think the photo reportage serves to reflect and unfortunately often the things that make you think things are bad and not nice ones ...
To me then things depend a lot on the spirit in which the photograph means to document gets ... and unfortunately there are certain situations and I think it's fair to document ... there is no moral judgment or sensationalism ... just behind the documentation of a fact ...
Looking at the photographs of Steve McCurry (though far be it from me to compare myself to him, mind you ...) are filled with shots of dramatic situations even worse than this ... maybe he should not have them? Personally, going to his show I found some of his photos a real punch in the stomach (a few did not make me sleep well at night: a uNo father of a child and both legs amputated due to a mine and another of a charred corpse in Kuwait) ... if he had not done what would have happened? Well, in my humble opinion, those people would be in the exact same situation, but no one in the world would have been able to reflect on certain situations! Maybe reason is to improve the world (as much as possible ...)
According to me it does not take more than a priori must instead be able to understand in which situations you should not shoot (you have to understand when you are likely to embarrass or humiliate the subject even if it does not bring home the shot at all costs) but it is equally wrong (or perhaps worse) not to take on principle because it is the same behavior of those who pass by without even looking to avoid feeling guilty when then come inin its beautiful warm home with every comfort ...
In fact, I'm not ashamed to admit that these subjects I find them much more interesting than others just because they have a story behind (albeit dramatic) and I think it is much worse to ignore them and reduce them to a limbo of existence that do not take a picture. Personal opinion of course Onestamente non sono d'accordo con la famosa poesia di Ando Girardi, anche secondo me la fotografia da reportage serve a far riflettere e purtroppo spesso le cose che fanno riflettere sono le cose brutte e non quelle belle...
Secondo me poi le cose dipendono molto dallo spirito con il quale le si fà...fotografare significa documentare e purtroppo certe situazioni esistono e credo che sia giusto documentale...non c'è nessun giudizio morale o sensazionalismo dietro...semplicemente la documentazione di un fatto...
Guardando gli scatti di Steve Mccurry (anche se lungi da me paragonarmi a lui, sia chiaro...) sono pieni di scatti drammatici di situazioni anche peggiori di questa...non avrebbe dovuto farle forse? Personalmente andando alla sua mostra ho trovato alcune sue foto un vero e proprio pugno nello stomaco (un paio non mi fecero dormire bene la notte: una di un padre e di un bambino entrambi amputati alle gambe a causa di una mina ed un'altra di un cadavere carbonizzato in Kuwait)...se non le avesse fatte cosa sarebbe successo? beh a mio modesto parere quelle persone starebbero nella stessa identica situazione ma nessuno nel mondo avrebbe avuto modo di riflettere su determinate situazioni !!! Magari ragionare serve a migliorare il mondo (per quanto possibile...)
Secondo me invece più che non scattare a priori bisogna invece saper capire in quali situazioni non bisogna scattare (bisogna capire quando si rischia di mettere a disagio o di umiliare il soggetto anche a costo di non portare a casa lo scatto a tutti i costi) ma è altrettanto sbagliato (anzi forse è peggio) non scattare per principio perchè è lo stesso comportamento di chi passa oltre senza neanche guardare per evitare di sentirsi in colpa quando poi torna nella sua bella casa calda dotata di ogni confort...
Anzi, non mi vergogno ad ammettere che questi soggetti li trovo ben più interessanti di altri proprio perchè dietro hanno una storia (seppur drammatica) e penso che sia ben peggio ignorarli e ridurli in un limbo di non esistenza che scattare una foto. Parere personale ovviamente
