Many photos are taken in a split second, and not much thought has been vested into such fast photography, often just made for quick presentation and consumption.
A different approach lies in Conceptual and Postconceptual Photography, existing since approx. the 1960ies. there, the stage is meticulously prearranged and all dimensions of staging, acting, directing, producing, consuming the art are well thought of.
on the occasion of one famous photography by Jeff Wall such deeper thoughts by the director are being discussed and described, free for the audience to discuss their thoughts and impressions.
