HT2007 - What Great Paintings Say

HT2007 - What Great Paintings SayPhotography, more than any other of the visual arts, can easily become mere eye candy. Learning how to see beyond the "pretty" requires some training. There is a 2-volume set titled, What Great Paintings Say by Rose-Marie and Rainer Hagen (published by Taschen) that are a wonderful introduction to this way of thinking.

2024/09/05

HT2006 - Fixed In TimeBecause we live at specific times, we can't help but produce our artwork in time. Everything we do is a function of the times in which we live. That's worth remembering, that in the future our work will be seen in the context of the era in which we live.

HT2004 - Consider All the AnglesIn 1990, I went to rural Japan for a 3-week photography adventure. I was accompanied by my friend, David Grant Best. Watching him work. Watching him work was both an education and revelation about composition.

LW1417 - Life In Moments The light is special. The subject cooperates. You pull out your camera and CLICK! What have you captured? You've captured a visual instant. More importantly, what have you not captured? How much of the "experience/moment" was left behind? How much of the "art" was left behind?

HT2003 - The Compulsories

2024/09/02

HT2003 - The Compulsories Certain subjects or themes seem to pop up with extraordinary frequency. Why do so many photographers make images of the predictable? Sand dunes, lone tree on a hill, lacy waterfall, colorful fall leaves blanketing the hillside, barren trees in the fog, beautiful blossom isolated on a black background - - the list itself is predictable. Are these subjects magically attractive, or photographically easy?

HT2002 - A Picture at Random Normally speaking, we process and print only our very best images. Setting aside the question about how "the best" is determined, I'd like to propose an alternative experiment. What can you do creatively with an image from your digital archives picked at random? In truth, these images teach us more than when we process only our best.

HT2001 - A Photograph to Die ForThe other day, there was another report in the news about someone who had died falling off a cliff while taking a selfie. I know we are all supposed to suffer for our art, but no photograph is worth dying for. I don't think photography was ever intended to be an extreme sport.

HT2000 - Standard Sizes

LensWork - Photography and the Creative Process ·

2024/08/30

HT2000 - Standard Sizes For the longest time, there were three standard sizes in fine art photography: 8x10, 11x14, and 16x20. These dimensions, of course, we're not the size of the image, but rather the size of the paper we used for printing. Does it clarify or complicate things if we redefine these sizes based on how an image will be consumed?

HT1999 - Handwork On a PhotographThere is a sizable number of photographers who are rejecting the digital workflow in favor of more handwork using so-called alternative processes. Are they missing an obvious hybrid that would involve handwork after digitally printing their images? Anyone remember Marshall Oils?

2024/08/28

HT1998 - The Date It Was PrintedIt is very common to see the date (or at least the year) of capture in the title of a photograph. From a collector's point of view, the more important date is when the print was produced. The date of capture may tell us something about the subject, but the date of the print tells us more about the artwork. Why not include both?

HT1997 - Hands Off My NegativesFor as long as I can remember, photographers at every level have been vehemently opposed to someone else having access to print their negatives or digital files. Are photographers just being protective of their copyrights and financial interests? Or is something else going on here? What if composers felt this way about their scores of music?

2024/08/26

HT1996 - Your Best Work vs Your Favorite Work It's very common for photographers to conflate their best work with their favorite work. In fact, these two may not be the same at all. The former is a judgment of our audience, the latter is a judgment from ourselves. Which work do you choose to exhibit and publish?

LW1416 - A Few Thoughts About Thinking I remember with clarity my early workshop experiences. I thought they were going to be great fun out with my camera making meaningful artwork with an inspiring instructor looking over my shoulder. Instead, we talked and then talked some more about images and the creative process. Those hours of conversation, print commentaries, and just hanging about prompted a flood of thoughts about what I was doing and how I was thinking about my own creativity. In these

HT1994 - Photographic DoodlingHave you ever just whiled away the time losing yourself in a doodle? I've always thought there is a connection between doodling and creative photography. In both processes, there is an abandonment to the activity to see where it leads. Creating a preconceived image seem like work. Photographic doodling feels more like play.

HT1993 - Purposely Changing the Game There are certain subjects that just lend themselves to black-and-white. Other subjects seem axiomatically to be ideal for color photography. It's amazing, however, how many times purposely changing the game can create interesting images that go against the stereotype.

HT1992 - Swap RAW FilesYears ago, we featured an experiment in LensWork Extended that is worth thinking about again. We posted a group of RAW files and invited people to download them and process them in any their imagination lead them. The variety of results was fascinating.

The history of technology has proven beyond a doubt that whatever is difficult today will be easy tomorrow. When praise for your craft disappears, what will remain is the content of your vision.

HT1990 - Assume That Feature Is ComingOne of the responses of admiration to artwork is the wonder about how it was done. What happens to the appreciation for our work when everyone can do it as well? Whatever difficult thing you currently wish you could do will probably be easy in the near future. Do we wait for the new features? Or, do we direct our efforts toward something else?

HT1989 - Predictable Light

2024/08/19

HT1989 - Predictable Light One of the exciting aspects of landscape photography is that the light is constantly changing, often surprising, and never predictable. Compare that to the lighting in your house which is the same, day after day. Could this be one of the reasons we find home photography to be such a challenge? What if we purposefully change the light to create more dramatic effects? Would that make home photography easier?
