Shooting Beauty the film

     The film tells the story of the creation of the Open Shutter exhibit.   Some people may find the photographs and film to be emotionally disturbing. But such a response could unnecessarily overlook the value of what the photographers in “Shooting Beauty” achieved. The viewpoints and angles of perspective are out of the ordinary and the subject matter is often partially obscured or out of the frame. Heads and feet might be cropped, angles are oblique, and subjects shot from below. It might appear, to an unaware observer, that the photographers were intentionally trying to create uncommon perspectives, and indeed their line of sight is different. The images clearly portray the world as these photographers experience it every day of their lives.  What the “Shooting Beauty” photographs all have in common is an enthusiasm for self expression.
