Arne Svenson’s series entitled, The Neighbors is creating new controversy.
Click on the link above to get the story and see the work. Click here to see the images from Svenson’s, The Neighbors series (the link above is only an article about the controversy).
The Neighbors series is particularly noteworthy because it challenges what has been defined as street photography. How many photojournalists have shot images in Africa, Cambodia, etc, with people fully identifiable, no model release, no compensation to the subject, and then had the photographs either exhibited or published?
Exploit and then capitalize on it? Where do we draw the line? Is there even a line at all?
I welcome and encourage comments, regardless the point of view.
