We often use the terms "bad" and "good" photo. These terms are correct, at least more correct than "beautiful" or "ugly" which artistically mean nothing. But let’s see what "bad" means, at least for me. There is only one kind of bad photo: the fake one. It’s what we might simply call a so-called artistic photo. It is one that lacks sincerity and authenticity, even in the photographer's failure, when the photographer pretends to be an artist using tools or expressive means that he knows will appeal to a certain audience but do not truly represent him. This is very striking to some people; I at least perceive it immediately and have an aversion to such photos. The same goes for a professional photo that pretends to be artistic; I also find it extremely repulsive. All other photos are overwhelmingly just bland. Average, bland, but still honest. Good photos are rare; those are what we seek, but usually, we produce, we create mediocre photos. There is also a very large type of photos, perhaps the largest portion, which we must immediately reject, which are not photos in the sense that they merely record events or objects or people that impressed the photographer who, however, failed to add any transformative power to make the photo stand on its own value. It is, therefore, a kind of photocopy of reality. If the subject is dear to us, we keep it as a souvenir; otherwise, such a photo must be deleted. In this process, at least what I do is, keep the photos that have an emotional value in a special folder because let’s not forget that the camera started by recording our memories and they always remain dear to each of us. Then, with all the photos that have neither emotional nor artistic value, we keep those that pass a certain threshold we set for ourselves. It's not the threshold of the greatest photographer in the world, it is our own upper limit, and we think that some of these can express our view of photography and the world. We also keep a few that are thematically interesting and because they might be used for some reason related to the subject for which they were taken, they have the right to remain in our archive. But the photos that have value are those that we could show in an exhibition or publication without feeling embarrassed that we are exposed negatively. A few of these might be better, and these will form the core of our personal work.
