Facts: I had a shooting with Paola Malloppo - who is a great photographer, empathic woman and friend of mine - using this neon my man has in the living room —> she published one of the (amazing) pics on Instagram—> other Italian analog photographers (apparently friends of her), fully grown humans, started bullying her, accusing her for having “stolen” the idea of the neon, just cause one of them had a similar shooting 2 years before.
I just say: think about any combination of objects/humans/animals/colors ecc... it has been already photographed! The real NEW in photography now can only be the emotion, the concept, the information behind the subjects. So if you are a photographer and you think you have the copyright on any combination of subjects, you’re fucking wrong 🤷🏼♀️ and need to grow up 🌸 and more than this: ARTISTS SHOULDN’T FIGHT EACH OTHER for such low arguments.
This is my opinion, but what about yours? I really care, what do you think? I’ll show you the picture cause it’s great, and you’ll tell me if what makes it good is the combination of subjects or something else 🌿
