What do you see? Is this the picture of a traditional North Norfolk fisherman?
Let’s face it, we can’t help but to see guided by our ideas. What a failure of mother nature that we can’t watch us seeing. We are uncontrollably projecting. All the pictures we have ever perceived form our perception without us noticing. So we don’t see the “real” face but a comfortabe idea triggered by this picture – it’s more like dreaming.
It’s a picture in shades of grey. Black and white and all the shades inbetween radiate an abstract quality. If you steal colour from the nature it makes the observer’s mind concentrate on the structures and the essence of the object. It produces a distance, which is the basis of perceiving art. At the same time the picture is getting more honest, it presents itself an easthetical object, which doesn’t pretend being a pure image of nature. The eye of the perceiver is drawn to the fine beard as well as to the lighter shades of grey of the face. These shades of grey produce the magnetism and magic of this picture.
Like every photographer our beloved Dina produced a picture which shows a nearly archetypal idea of the prominent and beautiful face. And you, the beholders, see following your conventions of seeing the type of the lusty Norfolk fisherman. Shades of grey produce types but not real folks.
Faces are magical. They can even be dangerous. To look at Medusa’s face made people solidify into stone. Fortunately she was mortal, so she is long dead, we suppose. We expect that faces show the identity of a person, that they tell a story, but in a picture they freeze into a document of the intended by the artist.
After all these reflections would you like to read the answer of the first question?
This is our friend Nigel, an intellectual cabinetmaker.

Was meint ihr zu sehen? Das Bild eines Fischers in North Norfolk?
Let’s face it, ihr könnt gar nicht anders, als geleitet durch eure Meinung wahrzunehmen. Welches Versagen von Mutter Natur, dass wir uns nicht selbst beim Sehen zuschauen können! Wir sehen frech unsere Vorstellungen in ein Gesicht hinein. Uns umgebenen Bilderwelten prägen unsere Erwartungen eh wir es bemerken, so dass wir nicht das eigentliche Gesicht sehen, sondern eine uns genehme Vorstellung – eigentlich eine Schimäre.
Das Bild ist in Grautönen gestaltet. Schwarz, Weiß und den Töne dazwischen wohnt etwas Abstraktes inne. Man nimmt der Natur die Farbe, dadurch wird sie zwar unnatürlich, jedoch der Geist des Betrachters wird mehr auf die Strukturen und das Wesen des Dargestellten gestoßen. Er gewinnt Distanz, die die Grundlage jeder Kunstbetrachtung darstellt. Außerdem wird das Bild ehrlicher, es wird zu einem ästhetischen Objekt, das sich gar nicht erst als getreues Abbild der Natur gebärdet. Der feine Bart wie auch das helle Gesicht zieht den Blick magnetisch an. Die Grautonabstufungen schaffen diese Magie.
Unsere liebe Dina schuf wie jeder Fotograf ein Bild, das fast archetypische Vorstellungen vom markanten und schönen Gesicht darstellt. Ihr als Betrachter fallt darauf herein, indem ihr gemäß eurer Sehkonventionen den Typus des kernigen Norfolk Fischers seht. Grautöne typisieren.
Gesichter sind magisch. Als solches können sie sogar gefährlich sein. Das Antlitz der Medusa, die Tochter der Meeesgottheiten, ließ Menschen zu Stein erstarren. Zum Glück war sie sterblich und kann als verstorben gelten.
Gesichter sprechen uns als Spiegel der Identität an. Sie erzählen eine Geschichte, aber werden sie nicht erstarrt zu einem Dokument des Intendierten?
Nach all dem Klügeln, wollt ihr nun des Rätsels Lösung?
Es handelt sich um unseren Freund Nigel, einem intellektuellen Schreiner.
Take care
Macht’s gut

Guten Tag, liebe Laura,
tja, vielleicht solltest du deinen Schreiner wechseln 😉
Irgendwie findet bei Portraits eine doppelte Verfremdung statt
1. was die Fotografin in das Antlitz hineinsieht
2. was der Betrachter dann auf das Bild projiziert
Man könnte von doppelter Verfremdung sprechen. Aber Verfremdung sollte man nicht verachten, sie verdeutlicht oft. Im ganz anderen Bereich des Theaters setzte Bert Brecht seinen V-Effekt (Verfremdung) ein und erstaunlicherweise war er auch dort wie in der Fotografie mit der Typisierung verbunden.

Prejudice (assumption) is a dangerous field indeed. I didn’t think of a fisherman; first I thought of a street bum but Nigel is too clean for that. A fisherman could be but traditional fishermen I know do all have more lines in their faces. I wouldn’t have thought of a cabinet maker on first sight but now you mention it. Great Portrait!!! Love it.

Good afternoon, dear Herman,
Prejustices – that’s a complicated matter. We suppose we cannot perceive without them. These learned assumptions make perceiving possible, they give a structure to impulses that come in from an object. Unfortunately we are quite often not aware of our prejustices. But we think it is basic being aware of those prejustices for the reason of producing an artefact – a picture f.e. – and for political/social reasons as well. We suppose that it is characteristic for populism not to reflect about how our perception is led by prejustice.
In a portrait prejustice works twice
1. the prejustice of the photographer
2. the prejustice when perceiving the picture
So one could say every picture is highly ideological. There is no way out, but it’s important that the producer as well as the observer are aware of it.
Thanks for commenting.

Guten Tag, liebe Ulli,
wir denken, jede Art von Wahrnehmung ist ideologisch, auch die Körperwahrnehmung, denn wir können ein und dasselbe Körpergefühl z.B. als harmlos oder Krankheitssymptom erleben. Anders gesagt, Wahrnehmung kann nicht ohne Interpretation stattfinden, da diese den wahrgenommenen Impulsen erst eine Ordnung verleiht und somit sinnstiftend ist. Hmmm, so sehen wir das. Welcher Ideologie wir dabei zuneigen, sollte uns bewusst sein, sind wir es nicht oder weigern wir uns gar, darüber zu reflektieren, führt das unweigerlich zu einem simplizistischen Populismus.
Das ist so in etwa unsere Auffassung von Wahrnehmung.

A portrait that could have been taken at almost any time since cameras originated, so we can add ‘timeless’ to the obvious qualities too.
Your words about perception and conditioning are wise also. We have all grown up in a world saturated with imagery and stereotypes, so it is understandable when assumptions about trade or circumstances are made from looking at images.
After all, looking at my own photo, one might assume that I am an elderly ex-Londoner who is often given to fits of grumpiness… 🙂

Hi, dear Pete,

Well, if we see some object we don’t know we need a hint. Types are those hints making perception easier. Everything that’s abstract, like black-and-white photography, tends to become typically. There is nothing wrong with it except it can’t see the individual.

I recently read that the way women look at things may differ significantly from how men see. Women and men look at faces and absorb visual information in different ways. Apparently women look more at the left-hand side of faces and have a strong left eye bias and also explore the face much more than men.

For us it’s clear that men and women see differently. First of all women are more trained to be social and that means they look at faces much more/longer than men. Also women see much more shades of the colour of the skin, whereas men see much better the shape of a face. Both watch first at the eyes of an unknown person.

Our minds, as humans, are so drawn toward developing an understanding, to make sense of what is presented to us that we far too often jump to conclusions without absorbing the details of an image that can’t be painted with a brush stroke or captured with the lens of a camera. It can’t be inferred, guessed, or deduced through logical reasoning. It can only be absorbed through interaction, communication, and a genuine interest in understanding the truth instead of our ego’s desire to project it.
We are certainly all shaped by our life experiences. But, it’s by remaining aware of this human behavior that we can take pause and dive beneath the surface to come ever closer to the truth. This photo and post was one of those experiences, thank you for sharing.

Perhaps you are correct, and the only conceivable truth is that there is no universal truth.
But, I suppose that my perhaps shallower definition of truth entails being open to all the world presents to us – viewpoints and perspectives that may run counter to our past – without allowing our own experiences to cloud the telling of another’s individual story.
Through this definition of understanding another person’s truth, each of us can learn and grow in ways that would be impossible to achieve on our own.
Thanks for your thought-provoking response, and best wishes for a wonderful weekend!

We don’t tell the colour of his eyes. It’s our secret – and you know, art needs secrets. We suppose everyone seeing this picture has an idea about the colour of Nigel’s eyes. And this makes b/w pictures so interesting, you have to guess, to substitute colour. Perceiving become action.

No, Cley was fine, a little bit of water 💦 over the key, a boat ⛵️ on land but nothing serious. We went to Blakeney where the main street was full of mud. It has been quite high under water, but no damage done ✅ because everyone had their flood gates out.
Thanks 🙏 for asking, so kind of you

Da habt ihr mir eine ausgezeichnete Lektion in Wort und Bild erteilt. Es war hochinteressant von einem fotografischen Standpunkt zu lesen. Doch es ist viel mehr als das Portrait des Schreiners Nigel, das nur eine winzige Scheibe seines ganzen Wesens darstellt. Der Post weist auf das unendliche Spektum des Guten und des Bösen, des Schönen und des Hässlichen, des Barmhezigen und des Grausamen aller Menschen hin. Sehe ich zu viel, dann lasst mich bitte wissen. Aber das Bild ist wunderbar und Nigel wirkt sehr sympathisch.

This intellectual varnisher very much would enjoy working with your intellectual cabinetmaker, I think. You’re certainly right that expectations (or prejudices, to use a more emotionally-laden term) certainly can lead to some surprises. When I first began working on the docks, before I became known, it was fun to see the shock on people’s faces when I produced coherent, grammatically correct sentences, or made reference to books or films. It wasn’t hard to figure out what their idea of a boat worker was, and I wasn’t it.
I appreciated your comments about black and white photography, too. When I first began taking photos, and enjoying those produced by others, I wasn’t at all a fan of black and white. Slowly, slowly, I’ve been coming to appreciate it, and this post helped me to understand certain aspects of my growing appreciation.

We are happy to read that we could help to understand b/w photography. Especially our dear Master is a fan of b/w photogaphy. He loves those subtle shades of grey (although he wrote several books about the prismatic colours). We Fab Four are all in favour of a kind of minimalism in art. To take away the colours is the first reduction. Of course with every reduction a picture becomes more abstract and by getting more abstract it condenses the essence of the object.
Anyway, these are just some ideas which were leading us to this b/w portrait.

Such a beautiful photograph ~ capturing so much in shades of grey, as you write above. The intellect of the eyes are pure – which could be a man of the sea, man of words, or as you allude to here, a master of woodworking and cabinet making. Impressive. I think the quote “a picture which shows a nearly archetypal idea of the prominent and beautiful face” is the description of what makes a portrait striking – prominent features (running all along the vast spectrum of beauty and possibility). A great photographer can find the beauty in anyone one, and when they do magic like is is produced. Beautiful!

I don’t believe that every person brings the same eyes ,and how we see things is the beauty of what makes us different. The most important thing we can do is not judge each other. Even when we see something that we feel a strong negative impulse about,we must hold our tempers and breathe. To act like a fellow human being means to hand our last piece of bread to our neighbor,or at least half of it.We must always protect ourselves,but not at the expense of our neighborhood.That’s what being a good child is. Good children always play together,and are fascinated by their differences.Only bad kids bully each other.That becomes the political differences we carry into our adulthood. Which ones of us are selfish ,and which ones are selfless. We can be honest.I hope.Because,the real trouble that can topple a ruler is dishonesty. It may be the king of the country ,or his advisors, but lying will force any king to lose his kingdom. Perhaps that’s why I’m a feminist,because I always trusted girls to be more understanding than the other boys.I think seeing an older fisherman is a beautiful thing. He makes me smile,and a little hungry.

But what would be that photo without the text?
Like in WEGEEs titles text and photo belong together, we suppose. It’s like painting and its title and what the artist writes about.
Nevertheless thank you very much for liking Dina’s photo.

Thank you for your nice comment. We love the world in colours too, but we think this one definitely looks better as a b&w. B&W is more about contrasts, highlights and shadows and drama and simply perfect for portraits. Architecture also looks great in monochrome. Sometimes, the world just looks better in black and white. Try it! 🙂

Colours in photography
Colours give the picture a kind of authenticy. They make the observer think that this a reproduction of reality. But a picture is not reality and never an authentic reproduction of reality. A picture is fiction, is a work of art, an artefact. Black-and-white photography is stressing this aspect of photography. It’s more abstract or one could say it’s a reflection about its object.
I am a fan of black-and-white photography, loving those subtle shades of grey. But maybe it’s all a matter of taste.
Thank you very much for inspiring me thinking about black-and-white photography.
Have a happy day

beautiful picture!! and even more beautiful write up. It is true, we see an image, or even a person, and automatically assume or form a story in our heads about them, without really knowing them or trying to. We need to do more of getting to know others, especially those different from us or what we are used to 🙂
