Moriyama and Klein Exhibit at Tate Modern

These two photographers are seriously unsettling but in a good way. Moriyama in particular is shocking and inspiring at the same time. He says 'My approach is very simple - there is no artistry, I just shoot freely. For me, photography is not about an attempt to create a two-dimensional work of art.' He frequently employs a no-viewfinder technique. His pictures are, by conventional standards, blurry, grainy, and badly composed. He is a sort of punk photographer who rejects the notion of photography as objective. He even photographs other people's photographs in magazines.
I'm not sure what the Royal Photographic Society or even Bristol Photographic Society would make of it, but I love it. Most of his pictures, particularly in his book 'Farewell Photography' look like the camera went off by accident when he was getting it out of the bag. They are the sort of photos most people would press the delete button for and I'm not sure if it makes me want to be a better photographer or a worse one. Anyway I really enjoyed the exhibition.
