In my post of 8th June I said the, ‘Royal Academy rarely pays much attention to photography as a creative medium’, a statement not based on very much evidence, I have to admit. So, I thought I would look at the work accepted for the Summer Exhibition 2025. Considering the descriptions used in the catalogue, 78 of 1729 works, 4.5%, used the words photograph, photography or photographic. This maybe underestimates the contribution of the medium as a lot of work was variously described as giclee print, c-type print, digital print, inkjet print and photogravure. Other media used through the exhibition included acrylic, aquatint, bronze, charcoal, clay, embroidery, etching, ink, lithograph, MDF, mezzotint, oil, piezography, plastic, steel, watercolour, wood and so on. Perhaps photographers and artists using photography have done rather well. Not that the choice of medium is a useful way to make any kind of judgement on art.
