What else are they gonna say?
There’s a ton of techniques for photographing other dark subjects so as not to lose shadow or light.
In my photography classes, we were often given “impossible” dark objects which we had to creatively light in order to show all or most of the object while still maintaining the dimensionality of it.
Then again, Kodak was not much of a source for photo techniques beyond really basic stuff.
They also said it was widely believed that there were special techniques, different lighting, etc., that were needed. That’s what they were denying.
Most snapshots are just crummy. People of all colors take horrible pictures of people of all colors.
Just watch Gone With the Wind, and you can see why the makeup artists, the cinematographers, the lighting experts, etc., made the big bucks. Everybody of every color looks great.
This NPR story is just pure crap. Looking for racism where there is none.
The real problem is all those racist cell phones that keep recording black youths knocking out white people.
