In episode 521 of the Perceptive Photographer Podcast, I dive into the Hawthorne effect and its impact on photography. I chat about how observing and photographing can change our behavior and perception. Reflecting on my own experiences, I discuss how having a camera in hand alters my awareness and creative process. I also touch on the differences in photographing people versus landscapes. Don’t forget about the upcoming photography events, including the Photoshop Creativity Summit 2025 and the Meaningful Image Workshop. I encourage you to reflect on your own experiences and thank you for your continued support.
