This image is titled Pakeha and Maori with Moko
I went to my last tutorial thinking that this was my new favorite image. It was soon made clear to me that this was most peoples least favorite image out of my recent work, and of course, that the image I had liked the least, was everyone's favorite. How confusing. I'm still coming to terms with it. I can see how the ethical and political issues of this image could be potentially problematic. But regardless of this I was interested in pursuing the use of it in my work. Now I am having to step back and weigh it all up. Feedback is always appreciated.

Hmm, a difficult one. I'm beginning to feel more and more that what is important is what you want to portray. That is essentially what YOUR art photography is about... what YOU want to say. Also, if you get to the stage where it is what you want and you don't care what others think, then perhaps you have found the essence of what you want to say and the confidence.
However, having said that, when it comes to assignments school and meeting a brief, you might be best to go the opposite way. Shaz
