In this episode we talk with Jack Moyse about understanding disability. Jack describes the therapeutic benefits that he has found through photographic self-portraiture and the ways that he has integrated performance art into his practice. He discusses ableism, both within the photography industry and in wider society, and articulates the impacts that he hopes to have through his work.What does photography ethics mean to Jack? “For me it’s something that is gotten to the point now, where it’s like, it’s just mandatory, to consider the ethics behind the types of images that you’re making, to consider the ethical effect that might be had on your subject, to consider what might happen to these subjects after the camera is no longer pointed at them. … it’s so valuable and should be engrained at every level of the image making process.” (44:45)Links:Francis AlÿsWhat it’s like (being me)Dr Kim CharnleySusan SontagSociety of the Spectacle by Guy DebordLooking for Alice by Sian DaviesThe Other: On class in the industry (with Jo Coates)
