Photography and Solitude
We experience being alone as either solitude or loneliness. Solitude is viewed as a peaceful and positive state, while loneliness is considered bleak and empty. Solitude is sought out while loneliness is inflicted upon us. So, what does this have to do with photography? Quite a bit, it would seem — both in how and what we photograph.
Follow Your Own Path
Our own voice, while inspired, can be drowned out by a negative one that quickly casts our work aside as unoriginal. This is where the figurative path can become a little thorny.
Photography and Imperfection
Our photography can be hindered by pursuing pristine scenery and perfect subjects. Instead, concede to the imperfection.
Timeless Black and White Photography
A seemingly mundane photo of clothes hung to dry takes on a timeless quality in black and white.
Photography, Inspired by Painting
Painting implants an aesthetic that inspires us and reinforces the key elements of visual design.
Creating Mood in Photography
'Mood' is the suggestion of something rather than its reality. It is sensed, not seen.
