The Ways of Seeing

John Berger explores the impact of photography and discusses the different ways we can now see an image. He also compares this new way of seeing an image to art from the past.



One comment on the video from YouTube said that if you have ever seen, taken, made or captured an image then this programme is worth watching, and I couldn't agree more. 

This programme was made 42 years ago (1972) for the BBC, and it amazes me how relevant it still is. Technology and the way we see images now has developed far and beyond anyone's imagination in this period of time and a lot of theories and explanations just aren't relevant in today's world. It was really interesting watching this and being able to relate to it so well.
