The way in which a granted access is interpreted also places the photographer in conflicts with desire, contradictions, or vulnerability.

With forbidden access, there is a clear frustration, but it does not undermine the coherence between what is experienced (prohibition) and what was felt (desire to produce an image). The photographer is excluded, but the desire remains intact, almost purified by the limit.

By contrast, granted access can harbor a latent conflict. When access is given legally, emotionally, or socially, there is not always emotional alignment with that permission. This is where the most powerful conflicts emerge, because internal scrutiny is activated. Do I have the right to be here? How can I look at this to capture it? And above all, how should I capture it? This is the ground where some fears of violating, internalized even without external signs of violence, may arise.

Paradoxically, the same as access can be liberating, it can also turn desire into an experience not free from discomfort, because it cannot be justified in opposition to power, nor sublimated in the gesture of transgression.
