The photographs that each photographer takes in their life, which they choose over time and thus compile a body of work, normally hold the same value for them. I will not use the emotionally charged expression "they are all their children," but all of the photographs are part of the totality of their work. From the moment they are chosen, from the moment they are exhibited, and from the moment they are published, of course there are preferences, of course some are displayed with greater pride and love, but this should be done discreetly. Possibly in a book, they may dedicate a full-page publication to them, in an exhibition they might dare a larger size for the preferred ones, but generally, they must treat their work with equality. These photographs have been individually selected by the photographer and some compose a theme, a photographic theme—not necessarily a theme in the sense of the depictions themselves—and, ultimately, all together form one or more portfolios of their work. I believe that a photograph should never be part of a portfolio if it has not been chosen by us as a singular photograph. A portfolio of value consists of photographs of value. Obviously, not all will be of the same value, but they will be of value. It is not justifiable for a photograph that cannot stand alone to be included simply because it will acquire an identity through the overall theme. This also leads to something else, which may not concern many photographers, but it holds true. What will be the price of the photographs? If a photographer decides to have a price, which will also be shaped by their ability to sell in the market, it is correct to have a consistent price, which should only change when the size of the photograph changes significantly, because obviously a large photograph costs more than a small one and thus there can be a price difference from the smaller. But it is not reasonable for a photograph to acquire a higher price because the photographer likes it more or because it is more accepted by the public. Photographs are not beauty contests. The photographer, at least as long as they are alive and setting the prices, must also respect the equality of the photographs they have chosen and incorporated into their work.
