Do all photographs have to tell a story?

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2019/10/14

I have a quote from Gary Winogrand that says all photographs make a new fact. As I looked back on that quote, it got me thinking about how much narratives and storytelling come into photography. Anyone who has been introduced into photography in the last few years have been hit with the importance of storytelling and narratives in photographs. In this week's podcast, we take a look at the importance of narratives in photography and discuss how direct storytelling in a photograph might not be

Traffic roundabouts and intentions in photography

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2019/10/07

I love being able to drive on a roundabout. If they are well designed, they make the traffic flow so much better, but if you haven't ever driven on one, knowing what lane to be in can be problematic and stressful. As I was recently driving through a local roundabout, it reminded me of a question I am often asked. That question is, where do I point the camera to make a good photograph? Part of pointing the camera is knowing what you like to see and understand in the world, and part of it is knowing

Ambiguity is a good thing

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2019/09/30

Episode 238 I find that it is sometimes difficult to work with a strong feeling of uncertainty. It doesn't matter if it is technical, artistic, or just a feeling I have. I like to think that I have some clarity in my work and process. However, the reality is that I frequently don't have a clear idea when I set out to work what might happen. In this week's podcast, I talk about the importance of accepting uncertainty and ambiguity in our photographic process. While it might be uncomfortable to

Is your photography signature worthy?

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2019/09/23

I was recently asked if I sign my photographs. I found this to be such an interesting ask because it seems so simple on the surface and yet within it holds more profound questions. Our signatures carry power. A signature can bind you to an agreement, signify acceptance, and provide a notion of who you are. From signing checks (or a screen) when purchasing something to contracts to artwork, the signature says we accept this object or agreement as outlined. As photographers, the signature on the work

Trapped and the value of help

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2019/09/16

I came into the studio early today and found a flying friend cruising around. I guess they came in the night before when I had the bigger door open. After some encouragement and strategic door opening, we were able to work together to get them on their way. As I worked to get the little one out of the studio, I realized that they had a methodology of looking for a way out and I hadn't freaked out about things flying by my head. Together we find a way to get someone home. I think our creative life is

If you have ever tried to put together a piece of furniture from IKEA or have been pulling your hair out because your friend can't give you good directions to their house, this week's podcast is for you. That is a challenge that I am asking you to take on this week. I want you to create some instructions for how you take a photograph and edit a picture. Then use those instructions to teach you about your process. What have you missed, skipped, repeated, or do for no reason you can figure out. Then

Upside down and backwards

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2019/09/02

I was recently at an art opening that had several photographs of interesting abstractions. Images of plants, buildings, and objects all taken and presented as abstract objects. In listening to people talk about the work, I heard people discussing what they saw in the images or what they thought the actual object in the photograph was. I also observed that many people would tilt their head left or right to gain a new perspective. That tilting reminded me of working with a large-format camera which

Dangers of too much

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2019/08/26

There are many traps out there to keep us from making the types of photography that we want to create. Some of them are simple to see, while others are more complex in nature. As I was sitting in the studio watching my dog flip the pillows off the sofa she gets to sit on; it occurred to me that too much of something, even a pillow on a couch, might be a bad thing. In this week's podcast, we take a look at the impact of too much of something and what that can do to your photography and creative

Religion, politics and photography

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2019/08/20

Episode 232 I think everyone has been to a party where politics and religious topics were not allowed, or you wish they were banned from the family holidays or summer parties. Both of these topics seem to bring out the worst in people's conversational behaviors, and unless you recently underwent a huge personal journey, you are unlikely to change your opinion because of something some said about god over wine coolers. In this week's podcast, I take a look at how we approach hard and unapproachable

The art of giving up

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2019/08/12

Episode 231 At some point, we all want to quit. For a host of reasons, we might want to call it a day. Maybe we are tired, bored, fearful, or lost. No matter the cause at some point in your photography, you will want to move on. For some, it might be moving on from just a project. For others, it might be from photography in general. This week's podcast takes a look at the art of giving up. The process of letting go so that we can remove the old and make room for the new. A chance to find that we

The sum of the parts or the parts of the sum?

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2019/08/05

When you look at an inkblot test, you might see something strange or unusual. You also are likely to see something that someone else might not see. Each of us sees something unique and different, which is why I think many of us are photographers. We find that photography helps us be able to say something about how we see the world around us. As photographers, we are responsible for the entirety of the frame. We are responsible for what is in the frame, out of the frame, and how everything overlaps

Updated: Are you setting the right goals?

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2019/07/29

There are many ways that people measure success. One of the more common ones that I hear people talk about is achieving goals. Goals are milestones that we set to help us keep focused on attaining something in the future. Some goals can be very short-term, while others might last a lifetime. In this week's podcast, we take a look at the impact goal-setting can have on your productivity and enjoyment of your photography. While goals can be critical to helping you achieve what you want in your

How noise can diminish your photography

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2019/07/22

This week's podcast focuses on noise reduction in photography. Now you might be thinking that we are going to be talking about how to use the software in Lightroom, Photoshop or other tools to reduce the noise caused by higher ISO settings in digital photography but that is not the case. I am talking about the noise in our heads as we try to make new photographs or look at photographs. In the podcast, we will take a look at the impact of decision-making styles, interruptions, and how we make

Is over-planning impacting your photography?

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2019/07/15

This week's podcast focuses on something that has impacted my photography and creative practice more than once--over-planning. When I am getting ready for a big trip or photographic adventure, I do a lot of research about where, when, and what to photograph. All that research can sometimes come in handy, but other times, this results in my over-planning my time costing me some photographic opportunities. In my own process, I have found over-planning shows up and causes me some angst in five primary

Games played and a lost and found

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2019/07/08

I recently watched a group of kids make up playing a game in the park and it sparked an idea for how to better approach my own photographic practice. This week's podcast takes a look at that process and how the end result made for a new approach to my creative practice.

Why photographs should read, draw and sit still

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2019/07/01

I get asked all the time what it takes to be a better photographer. Is there a class to take or a book to read? I always come back to the basics that photography is about seeing, telling a story, and finding your sense of self in your work. This week's podcast talks about the importance and value of taking the time to draw and sketch, reading all types of books and finally the importance of learning to observe the world around you.

The challenge of should and would

The Perceptive Photographer ·

2019/06/24

In this week's podcast, we take a look at the impacts of talking about the effects of the should and would in our creative photography. So much of what we do as photographers is damaged when we focus on what we should be doing and what we would be doing rather than what we are doing in the present. In my own experience, should and would are indicators of living in the past or future rather than focusing on what I am doing now in the present. What I would do is future based, and what I should be
