Photography is a discipline that originates from scientific origins, serving a purpose to inform the viewer on an educational level. While this is still often the case, the way that photographs are presented alters the meaning and the intended response. Whether the purpose is to educate, inform or entertain, there is a crossover between disciplines that enhances the value of a photograph. Simon Brown is a British photographer that uses photogrammetry comprised of 15,005 frames to create an image of a navy ship sunk in 1941. The piece was awarded the General Science prize by the The Royal Photographic Society this year.
