Since everyone has a camera in their pocket these days, the distinction between being a photographer and being an artist is more important and prevalent than it has ever been. In their latest video “You may be a photographer, but are you an artist?”, the Cooperative of Photography (COOPH) recently met up with world-renowned artist Roger Ballen who shared 7 things that artists should be thinking about before they press the shutter. Roger Ballen’s work spans four decades, and he is one of the most influential and important photographic artists of the 21st century.
