Las primeras fotografías retocadas


El diario italiano Repubblica publicó las primeras fotografías retocadas de mediados del siglo XIX y XX, las cuales serán expuestas en octubre en el Museo Metropolitano de Nueva York.

Si bien actualmente la manipulación de las fotografías y la edición que se hace de ellas con programas como photoshop nos parece algo poco novedoso, a mediados del siglo XIX los fotógrafos debían recurrir a trucos caseros, como pinceladas, collage, superposiciones, entre otras, para poder obtener efectos diferentes para que sus fotografías tengan un toque fantástico y absurdo.

La exposición pone en contracara a la trabajosa edición del siglo pasado por un lado, y la edición contemporánea digital por otro, así como la relación entre las mismas.
