The balance between capturing and editing.
We capture images with a camera, and edit them to improve them. The editing we do is all about improving what is there, not creative editing.
In our normal image photography, if anything at all is done beyond editing the image we will tell you on the edition page, so if we haven't you know the image was from a camera and only edited to improve the information, so we have not cut items out of several photos and reassembled an image or any other such tricks.
Art images, such as the photograms, are created in the camera, and are a form of painting with light. Most start off by moving a number of coloured LED lights, or setting up the lights and moving the camera. This produced an image, and we need to edit this quite a bit to get to the art images that you see representing different concepts. With these images we use a wide variety of means but they all start by capturing something with a camera, none are created directly in an art package on the computer.
