A photo is never objective. If it is, it is real boring. It is the nature of freezing a moment. Simple example: you hit me, no one takes a picture. I hit you and someone takes a picture. Who is the villain in the picture? If you look at most photography, especially the pictures that grab you, they are not objective at all. Sometimes gut wrenching and sometimes lovely, but the moment someone decides to release the shutter, it is an editorial statement.

That is the job of the photographer — simplify all that visual space, and put a frame around all that space, and say: “this is what is important.” You try to balance your coverage and you do try to show both sides if there are not many sides of a story, but that is extremely difficult in one photo.
