 "The voyeuristic gaze is an inherent part of photography: not necessarily in a deranged or perverse sense, but in the sense that you view the world both intimately and with detachment. [The late Susan] Sontag argued that the camera is inherently aggressive because it always presents an image of a person they themselves cannot see, and is thereby a violation of their identity. I don’t wholly agree with that.... Sometimes, the photographic gaze is gentle, poetic, and creates beauty where it doesn’t obviously exist."
James Lomax, Photographer.
