I actually chose the suggestion by Phil in discussion so didn't award any points but thank you all for your help.

I think you're on to sthg... to say "autant de regards que de photographes" is an expression in celebration of individuality. Inverting it raises a question of tone: if it weren't for the following text I'd suspect a degree of irony: "everyone's a photographer these days". And indeed photographers exist in a different relation to images from even 15 years ago, with the explosion of digital, camera phones, the Net. Unfortunately the following text is rather bland, of the coffee table variety. Having said that, "appareil photo est un prolongement de l’œil" does possibly allude to the 21st century ubiquity and cheapness of visual images... Personally I suspect the inversion *is* deliberate, but maybe striking a "poetic" tone in a rather French, suggestive way, rather than being simply ironic... Of course my assumption here is that this comment was made recently...!

@Phil Agree with you! Even in french the expression goes the other way around "il existe autant de regards que de photographes" now the question is: Is it a "mistake" or is there any special meaning to this somewhat peculiar wording?

Hi

Put your suggestion in please as an answer as I think I'm going to use it.

Thanks

It might make more sense to switch it round and say there are as many viewpoints as there are photographers.

yep, my translation should read

"In my opinion, there are as many photographers as there are views"

And that wasn't even my question :)
