These are so good. Please keep posting more.
As someone just getting into photography more as a hobby, I'd love to hear more about your approach: always curious about equipment/technical stuff, but more interested in anything you want to share on your creative process/intent.
thanks for the note.
here are some opinions that i haven’t really ever shared…
the least important part of photography is the camera, and the technology. learn how to use it well enough that it gets out of your way. all it is, is a recorder of what you see. therefore, learning to see is more important.
study light when you’re not shooting. watch how it moves when you’re sitting at a stoplight, when you’re walking…
when you shoot a person, hyper focus on what you find beautiful about them, inside and out. you will capture what you see.
reject fear. do not shoot reactively, trying to prevent mistakes. trust yourself, and trust what you find beautiful without apology, and go after it with enthusiasm.
emulate explorers and experimenters. stay away from experts. they will try to turn you into them. don’t fall for it. what you love is what you look for, is what you see. ❤️
