The production of digital images of cultural objects contained in museums and galleries has meant that post-production alteration of the image is both easier and a more attractive option for photographers than in tradional film. Although the opportunity to change photographic images has always been possible, now with digital image creation and Photoshop it has become democratised so that it is possible for anyone, not just skilled creative technicians.
The purpose of this EVA workshop, supported by AHFAP, the professional association for museum, gallery and photographers of cultural heritage in the UK, is designed to provide a forum to discuss the ethics of the manipulation of images in this sector. Short presentations will be followed by an open and free discussion on the issues raised. Anyone wishing to make a short illustrated presentation, of no more that ten minutes, on any aspect of this topic is asked to contact the EVA organising committee or the Chairman of the AHFAP.
The workshop is free to applicants and everyone interested in heritage photography is encouraged to come to discuss this important topic.
