A photograph in contemporary world – does it still matter? Everything has
already been photographed, shared on the internet, we have seen far away
places, conflicts zones, intimate situations – we have seen everything.
However, we still take pictures. Does photography still matter? Do we still
need documentary photography? What is documentary photography? – this is
the question we asked ourselves during Sputnik Photos workshop in Chisinau,
April 2014. Can we show anything new through pictures? A group of talented
photographers prove that documentary photography still matters. They don’t
go to Africa to photograph wildlife or historical events. They show reality
surrounding them. They make personal records of things that are important.
They show what is tragic and upsetting, they also show things that are nice
and amusing. Empty flats, depopulation, unemployment. We are all aware of
these issues but we haven’t seen a lot of them in photographs. Here, we
have access to real people and their lives through photographers’ lenses.
We have access to everyday dramas (as political and economical problems)
and pleasures (like holidays in old resorts). Even though we know this
things exist we want to see more. Important things about this photography
is not only the subject but also the specific point of view. Photographers
tend to be objective but fortunately there is still a lot of them in their
photo-essays. We can observe Moldova through their sensitivity to other
people’s pain and also through their sense of observation of small things,
daily life - and their sense of humour. I hope we will see more of this and
we will see development of documentary photography in Moldova, thanks to
young, ambitious photographers working in this filed.
