Photographer Ridiculed By Peers After Desperately Claiming An Out Of Focus Photo Is Art

An Oregon photographer named Jason Rantz posted an out of focus photo in the Facebook group The Very Best Photographers in the World today asking if he should deliver it to his client. Mr. Rantz said he liked the photo and thought his client would too. When other group members ridiculed Mr. Rantz for not culling out what was obviously a mistake, Mr. Rantz claimed that the couple was out of focus on purpose and that the photo was in fact art. When pressed by other group members for comment on what exactly was the message of the art, Mr. Rantz replied that the photo resonates differently with everyone who views it and that’s part of what makes his art so striking. A cursory investigation of Mr. Rantz’s instagram account and website showed no other photos that shared a cohesive artistic expression consistent with the work posted in the Facebook group.
