I love this term. It’s the term that I’ve seen used to describe the way a photographer’s eyes are trained on the camera lens when they are taking a photo. In other words, the camera is “deadpan.” I just love it.
It’s true. Ive also seen this expression used to describe a person who’s looking at a person or a place in a way that is completely deadpan. I think we can all agree that this photo could be a deadpan photo.
You know what else is deadpan. The way I see it, it’s when you’re looking at something and you don’t feel the urge to say “excuse me” or “I need to check on this.
Thats a good point. I guess the deadpan is when we are trying not to say something. For example, if someone asks you a question, you could be deadpan when you answer it. But if someone asks you an unrelated question, like what perfume you wear, you can be deadpan. So that makes sense.
When youre looking at a photo, youre looking at the image in front of you. When youre trying to figure out if you should say something, you can usually make up some reason why you should not. You dont really have to say anything, because youre looking at the image in front of you and youre not even thinking about the question, because youre looking at the image in front of you.
I think deadpan photography is a strange thing. I am very good at keeping myself from feeling like I should say something. When I watch a video of someone else, and I think “I don’t know what to say,” I still feel like I should say something and say it. I can’t help it. I can’t help it if I’m deadpan.
I know the feeling. I dont think you have to say anything at all. I think you should just stare at the image.
The thing about deadpan photography is that it’s very difficult to ignore. It’s like the kind of art that makes you feel like your brain isn’t working. It’s a little like watching someone you know smile and laugh. It feels uncomfortable, but then your brain gets the message. It tells you that you’re not looking at what you should be looking at.
The problem with deadpan photography is that youre not looking at what your brain should be looking at. Youre looking at the fact that youre dead. Youre looking at your brain. When your brain tells you it cant do something right, it makes you think its a failure. It’s like having a friend with a really bad case of the flu, and when your friend gets better your friend starts to think its a life-or-death situation.
When you look deadpan, your brain is really looking deadpan. It has no idea what it wants to be doing. It has no clue. The only thing youre really looking at is what you want to be looking at.
