spiritualism

Shannon Taghart’s photographs are great on capturing the spirits. But when you start to look the photo in her website you start to notice the photo don’t look like an documentation. She know how to position the person and how to make the affect. This is show on website because there’re articles that she upload her photo and has the same affect as the spiritualism. There is a band, sleeping on the wheel, and the painist. The portrait are the picture which don’t help the photograph to look like a documentary. It look like the light was included which you could tell that it in not natural light that is making the picture look different. The only one I see as an documentary is the photo of the ceremony. Also the technology they use to set up their spirit reading. The cabin where they do the reading too. The groups picture to see who was involved with the reading. The location will help other to know where to go to have these expiries. The knowledge of how to use the camera to make these affect help her to create this thing that are showed throughout her website. So my conclusion is no i would not consider this as an document photos.
