Are Cliff Notes the way to go to learn photography?...

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2021/04/26

There are many ways to learn things—some things in life we pick up pretty quickly, others not so much. In today's podcast, I talk about how most of the time, the time we put into something offers more rewards than just the desired goal. The journey is, in fact, more important than the destination.

The loss of sight and photography

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2021/04/19

I got to thinking these past few weeks about what would happen if I lost my eyesight. What would that mean for my photography? What would it mean to make photographs and appreciating photographs? In this week's podcast, I talk a little bit about not being able to see could impact our photography and also how in some cases, it might make us better photographers because of how we would have to share what a photograph means in a much more complete way since we couldn't just rely on someone looking at

Not everything has to be the same

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2021/04/12

I have heard from several friends how every day in the pandemic seems to run together. Sort of a Groundhog Day effect. In this week's podcast, I dive into that notion of everything and every day being the same and how that can impact our approach to talking about our photography in a meaningful way. I also talk about the challenges of shifting our focus on what we talk about to celebrate the experiences of every photograph we look at.

Our reactions make the difference

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2021/04/05

This week's podcast takes a look at the impacts of how we react to events and information. When you hear someone talk about your photography, do you focus on the negative, which in turn makes everything negative, or do you focus on the positive? In the podcast, I talk about how your approach to that feedback can make all the difference in improving your work. I also talk about some strategies to help you focus on slowing down the experience so you can focus on what matters most to you.

Reading is fundamental

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2021/03/29

If you ever take one of my classes or workshops, you will listen to me talk about reading the photograph. The idea of reading a photograph is just like reading a book. You have to slow down, take it in, process the work, and think about it.

The Perceptive Photographer ·

With that in mind, this week we take a look at three easy places to do some spring cleaning in your photography practice to make some room for both the new and old ideas you might have around your photographic work.

Staying with something good or evolving to something...

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2021/03/08

Sometimes when we are working, it is easy to stick with what we are good at. We tend to think that we are meant to be doing it if we are good at something. However, being good at something doesn't mean that we enjoy something or should keep doing something. In this week's podcast, we talk about how sometimes we need to give up what we are good at in favor of doing what we're meant to do or really want to be doing.

Nice photograph, but is it personal?

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2021/03/01

This week's podcast takes a look at why we create. I believe that art, and by proxy photography, is best when it is personal. It is born out of our curiosity and desire to discover, learn, grown, process, and sort out how we fit in the world. When we make work from a place of self--understanding, it taps into a common thread across lots of people who have similar feelings and ideas. While made by a single click, our images allow us to connect as a community to more important questions we face in

How long to wait?

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2021/02/22

Episode 311 Each one of us has a different level of patience when it comes to time. I think each of us has to answer how long I am willing to wait to get a great photograph? Often, I find that I might give up a little early or stay way too late in my work. The balance of time always seems a little off. In this week's podcast, we jump into the question about how long you are willing to wait to get that photograph. We look at the pros and cons of various approaches and the importance of setting up

It’s always something

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2021/02/15

Episode 310 For many photographers I work with, one of the consistent pieces of feedback I hear is that there is never enough of something to do the work they want. There might not be time or money or gear. A lot of effort and energy goes into thinking about what is needed to achieve our goals and what is missing. I like to imagine and brainstorm as much as the next person and have often suffered the same fate of what can't be done because of something. I was having a conversation with an artist

Edges or overlaps in your approach to photography

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2021/02/08

When we think about approaching our photography, we often put things in buckets or bins. These classifications can help us identify areas of the images to work with and projects to pursue or find meaning in our work. Over time, I have grown to think about these ideas as more of a continuum or spectrum of ideas where they overlap and push into each other. Rather than creating edges, they offer up some softer transitions to more meaningful work. This week's podcast looks at how this approach to edges

Is it poor taste or a bad photograph?

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2021/02/01

I work with a lot of different people on different aspects of photography. One of the big areas that I help people with is developing a deeper connection to their work and others' work. In that process, one of the issues that comes up repeatedly is the idea of what makes a good photograph. On more than one occasion, I have found myself in the conversation about something being a bad photograph or not. As I have looked back over my notes from these conversations, I have begun to wonder if the issue

Who’s your photo buddy?

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2021/01/25

Throughout our lifetime, we have a lot of friends and acquaintances. Some people are around for a short time, and others might last that lifetime. I have been thinking a lot lately about friendships and how they shape and shift us. They provide support, honesty, humor, companionship, and so much more. As I started to think about photography, I wondered about friendships in photography and the impact they can have. This week's podcast focuses on the question of who your photo buddy is and what does

What are you missing and the one thing approach

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2021/01/18

I have been working on some images in the studio recently and some start of the new year cleanup work. As I bounced back and forth between those two projects, it occurred to me that I was missing one thing oftentimes. That thing could be a screw for a tripod leg or a lens cap or an emotional feeling in a print. But as I worked on the projects, I started to wonder how many things in my photography could be fixed with just one thing. So in today's podcast, we talk about how our approach to

How do you feel about photography?

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2021/01/11

This week's podcast is a chat about how we feel about photography and photographs. In my teaching experience, I have found that many people think a lot about their photographs, but in some ways how we feel about our photographs can matter more.

The start of a new year and celebrating the good

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2021/01/04

This week's podcast is a quick chat about setting goals for the new year and the importance of looking back at the past year and celebrating what was good. In a year harder than most for people, 2020 gives us a chance to celebrate the flexibility and durability we all have to continue adapting and creating.

This week's podcast topic came about because of some maintenance on the car. That maintenance got me thinking about how scheduled maintenance to keep a car running smoothly could be applied to photography.

This week's podcast is about the importance of having traditions in your photography. No matter how big or small traditions are something we can look forward to each year and reflect back on the past.

How to figure out your good photos from the bad

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2020/12/14

This week's podcast is all about homework. One of the areas that I think all photographers could improve is understanding what makes a good photograph or a good photograph to them. We dive deep into that topic this week with an exercise to help you better understand how and why you react to photographs the way you do and apply that knowledge to future images or discussions.
