The Perceptive Photographer

In the podcast this week, I dive into the areas where you might spend your time as it relates to your photography and photographic process in an effort to help figure out if we are spending our time the best way possible.

ne of the biggest challenges many of us face in our photography is sorting out where and who to show our work. Finding our peeps or audience can be a challenge. That challenge can be clouded by ego, confusion, and misidentification. However, once we understand who our audience is, our shared photography can reach and be appreciated by our community.

In the podcast this week, I talk about how approaching our photography by thinking about how I am and how I want to be can make a difference in the type and quality of work we create.

In this episode of the Perceptive Photographer podcast, we dive into a new way of approaching the deletion of our images. Maybe there is a better approach to deleting. Maybe we should take a moment and honor the things we get rid of or delete for what they taught up no matter how small.

With the turn of a day, it is now 2022. I hope you are having a good start to the new year. This week's podcast is a quick chat about something that I hope we can all do in 2022 for our own work and the work of others. I don't think it will always be easy, but I do think it can make us a better photographic community.

As we close out 2021 and look forward to 2022, we close out the podcast talking about a few listener questions that have been sent in over the past few months. As you will hear, in many cases, I think oftentimes we are asking the wrong question to begin with.

In our adventure as photographers, there are so many little twists and turns. Some of them are good and some are nothing more than a distraction. In this week's podcast, we talk about five little things to consider as we approach the end of the year that might make a difference in our photography in 2022.

nd ours is our feelings and how they relate to the things we photograph. Doesn't matter if we love it, hate it, or are unsure about it. Whatever it is, you better make sure you know how you feel if you want to make a meaningful photograph.

In this episode, I talk about how to approach your photographs as a group of interconnected elements focusing on not just what the object is or looks like but how it relates to everything else in the frame.

In this week's episode, I dive into the importance of understanding your purpose when making a photograph. There are a host of reasons to take a photo, but understanding the reason you are making one will help you critique your images, organize your images and be successful behind the camera. Just like making sure you have the right lens on the camera for the images you want to make, having the understanding of your purpose can make sure the little details fall into place.
