The Perceptive Photographer

Episode 350

There are so many ways to think about grouping photographs and programs like Lightroom or Capture One can make it easier. Although those programs sort of force a method for looking at times, there are other options for grouping and associating our work. In this week's podcast, I talk about some of the approaches to grouping your images that might open up some creative ideas or concepts that you hadn't considered before in your work.

In this week's podcast, I spend a little time talking about the importance of appreciating that what we are doing when we photograph is extending the conversations, responding to discussions and generating new ideas by combining influences and ideas.

s week's podcast, I talk a little be more about how to think about sequencing your images into an essay or story. What sort of considerations to make before, during, and after the process. I also step onto the soapbox a bit about how we view and understand this broader collection of images and how they impact our understanding not just of the series, but the individual building blocks and reactions to work.

In this week's podcast, I talk a little about how recognizing your defining moments in photography might be more important than your decisive moments behind the camera.

We all collect stuff. In this week's podcast, I discuss the impacts of what we collect in our photography and photographic processes. For many of us, I am sure we collect good things, but I am also sure that we collect a lot of things we wish we could or would get rid of.

In this week's podcast, we jump into the notion of memory and how it can impact our understanding of how we view an image. I also talk about how to find a better awareness of the impact of memory in our process behind the camera so that, if we are lucky, we come home with better photographs.

If you haven't taken the time to make a contact sheet, you should. They are worth their weight in gold. Many people think the contact sheet is used to select your best photograph to edit or enlarge, but I also think contacts teach you something about your approach to photographs and time behind the camera. The contact sheet lets you see how your vision unfolds and how the world you experience through the viewfinder says something about you. In this week's podcast, we dive in to the value of making and using contacts sheets to better understand not just the great images you might make, but all the images you make.

As always, I hope you and yours are safe, and please remember to keep safe and wear your mask.

Have you ever had a good glass of wine where you could taste the subtle notes of flavor? Maybe it was in a cup of coffee or something you cooked. That little sensation of blueberries, mint, rosemary, or plum. It is out there waiting to be discovered and enhance our pleasure eating or drinking. Photography has that same experience. There are little notes of flavor in composition, framing, and editing. In this week's podcast, we dive into the world of notes, spices and taste sensations in photography and examine how important it is to see, taste, and experience those small variations in seeing the image.
