The Photographer’s Lens: How Do We Define Beauty?
We always hear how beauty is in the eye of the beholder — what about, more specifically, in the eye of the photographer? How we view aesthetics varies from person to person, and “beauty” can have a completely different definition for people of different backgrounds. And what happens to perceptions of beauty in the age of social media? Some might value black and white photos online, while others appreciate the expression on a face or asymmetry. Miriam Redi, a research scientist at Yahoo, Ramzi Rizk, Co-Founder & CTO of EyeEm, and Danielle Strle, Director of Culture and Trends, will share how they classify beauty in photography amidst tech developments, the mobile revolution and generational shifts like the selfie generation.
