"PERSPECTIVE, FRAMINGAND THE EDITORIAL GAZE" On Seeing and Reframing Publication

Changing perspective is never a neutral act. Each shift in viewpoint alters what enters the frame, what is pushed outside it, and how the viewer understands the subject. Editing works in the same way: it does not simply organise material, but actively constructs meaning through selection, emphasis, and exclusion. A frame can make something appear central, marginal, powerful, fragile, complete, or unfinished. This piece considers perspective as an editorial decision, showing how every change in position produces a different visual logic and a different way of reading the image.
