The Perceptive Photographer

Musings on simplicity and complexity in photographs

Hey everyone, in this episode, I’m diving into two of the simple pleasures in my studio—a great cup of coffee and capturing the meaningful photograph. I’m digging into a random thought that came up after brewing some coffee in the studio. The thoughts of how stripping down complex experiences to their core can lead to deeper connections and more compelling storytelling through photography. There really isn’t an answer that I come up with but rather in this podcast, I wonder the pasture of simplicity wondering if who we are as photographs can be more understood by really making our discussions about images as simple as possible. And by that, I mean in the ability to be as simple as possible, we appreciate the complexity of great images.

“On the surface, it’s a very simple portrait, or very simple landscape, or very simple still life, but the complexity is there because the person experienced and allowed themselves to figure out what is it about this image that matters the most and make the image about that.”

One of the questions I get asked frequently is what sort of equipment do I use to record my podcast. I have used a variety of equipment in the years that I have been recording, but here is the current list of equipment that I am using. Also as an FYI and full disclosure, the links are affiliate links to Amazon.
