A terrible truthfulness about photography ...
There is a terrible truthfulness about photography.
The Ordinary academician gets hold of a pretty model,
paints her as well as he can,
calls her Juliet
and puts a nice verse from Shakespeare underneath,
and the picture is admired beyond measure.
The photographer finds the same pretty girl,
he dresses her up and photographs her,
and calls her Juliet,
but somehow it is no good -
it is still Miss Wilkins, the model.
It is too true to be Juliet
GEORGE BERNARD SHAW - 1909
