The Perceptive Photographer

Working with sweet spots


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore the “sweet spots” in photography. You know when things feel right when those , settings, and workflow tweaks that make your images realy connect. From camera settings to post-processing, sequencing, and viewing, I spend a little time diving into these little adjustments which can elevate our photos

I talk about how small tweaks in camera settings can make a huge difference in your photos and how thinking about your approach to aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and white balance shift your awareness. When you adjusting exposure, contrast, color, and cropping it is again about trying to find a spot where the image speaks to us but not the decisions on how we technically make or edit it.

I also talk about how I sequence my photos, whether it’s for a portfolio, a slideshow, or a photobook, and why the order can completely change the story your images tell. The goal of starting with 10-15 is a sweet spot even if you want less or more images. Finally we dig a little into thinking about viewing conditions, not the monitor calibration and ambient light, but how we are distanced in seeing, emotions, thinking and connections.

Finding your photography sweet spot is about balance, experimentation, and trusting your creative instincts. Small changes can make a huge impact
